This was a blast! We had so much fun learning and laughing with Chef Aaron - I had never made pasta and it actually turned out! He gave us lots of tips and tricks and the recipes he shared with us were so good. He shared stories of making pasta with his grandmother and I can’t wait to share what I learned with my granddaughter! We would definitely take a class with him again.

We had the most fantastic time at the pasta quartet. The pasta varieties were perfect. This experience exceeded our expectations! Chef Aaron was knowledgable, fun, engaging, and the food was outstanding. The other people in our class were really fun too, which was an unexpected surprise. I’ve already recommended this to several people. We had a blast!

My husband and I took this pasta quartet with Chef Aaron as a fun date. We were immediately impressed by how Aaron welcomed us immediately at the door when we arrived, had a fun calm demeanor while teaching, and got to know us during the class. We enjoyed his stories about growing up making homemade pasta with his family, where his ingredients came from, his career as a chef, and some fun things he enjoys doing in the St. Paul area. The venue was clean and comfortable. We appreciated how he demonstrated the skills first and then gave us ample opportunity to try on our own, while being there to help us and answer questions every step of the way. We learned to make 4 kinds of pasta shapes and Chef Aaron made 2 delicious sauces for us to try with the pasta. We ate 2 LARGE meals of pasta (it was absolutely delicious, so come hungry!) and were able to take the extra pasta home. We left the class feeling confident in our ability to reproduce these delicious dishes at home. He even sent the recipes home with us and offered to answer any other culinary questions we have in the future, which was awesome. This class is taught by a wonderful person and wonderful chef. The class would be great for a date night, family gathering, or office team-building event, and we felt that it was the perfect level of difficulty to be approachable for complete beginners all the way up to experienced home chefs who want to learn more nuanced skills. 10/10

We made 4 pastas with Aaron- he planned it out really well so that we took 2 pasta types with us to freeze at home and use later, and we ate the other 2 at the end of our class. The class was well organized and we learned a lot!
Leann N.
My husband and I did Chef Aaron's Pasta Quartet class. It was a lot of fun and Chef Aaron made learning each step so easy!! Loved how relaxed the class was and all the tips he was able to share with us. We'll be looking for more classes to try soon!!!
Tou V.
The group learned how to make pasta from scratch, turning the dough into 4 different types of pasta. tagliatelle, orecchiette, cavatelli and stuffed ravioli. This has been the best experience and delicious pasta I've ever had. Worth the wait to taste the pasta you made with your own hands. 5 stars, would love to comeback. And will definitely recommend to family and friends.
Amanda E.

Christopher M.
Our night with Chef Aaron was fantastic. From the start he made us feel welcome and comfortable in his kitchen. It was the perfect setting for a couple wanting date night or a group looking for a fun event.
He lead us through cooking 4 different types of pasta, and his love, knowledge and experience of cooking was felt throughout. His experience and stories of learning to cook with his Nonna and family in Italy were our favorite part. We will absolutely be booking him again and are looking forward to all the different menu options he offers.

Chef Aaron was professional, organized, and easy to work with throughout the entire experience. The food was well-prepared, thoughtfully presented, and executed with clear attention to detail. His calm, friendly approach helped create an enjoyable and comfortable atmosphere from start to finish!
Nathalie
Chef Aaron's experience spans his nonna's kitchen to collaborations with Michelin-starred chefs, of the likes of Thomas Keller, Daniel Humm and many more. His all-consuming passion for hospitality and professional expertise is evident in both his cooking classes and home dining experiences. You can come to him or he can come to you - either way, brace yourself for an unforgettable experience.
