We thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Two small suggestions - a smile or two from the chef and perhaps some Italian music to accompany our Italian dinner rather than the rock and pop mix.

Chef Ivan, Thank you for reaching out to me. I was going to write you because The Chef was amazing and we had a great time learning how to make Sushi. We learned 4 different types of sushi and after we create our own sushi. We made miso soup and finally we made Macha ice cream. It was a top experience for us not only we learned how to make sushi we had sake and met wonderful people that we shared laughs throughout the night. If I could give stars I will give 5 star ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️. I already recommended this cooking lesson to friends and family and I will continue doing it. Please tell the Chef to continue sharing his pasión and kindness. You are an Exceptional Chef. Thank you again for unforgettable night in your kitchen! Best, Leslie Vaculin

Yuri

18 Jul 2022

We had our semi annual company wide event with Chef Iva and his team, and we chose the Chopped Cooking Challenge! Chef Ivan and his team did such a great job in setting this event up, and our team had so much fun. Chef Ivan took all of our dietary preferences and allergies into account and created a super tasty and easy to use ingredients table. Their feedback when judging our dishes was also accurate and hilarious - one group undercooked their chicken, and the Chefs made it known haha! We'll definitely book another team event.

The team had a fantastic time! Chef Ivan was amazing. It was an awesome team activity with great final results. There was a lot of competition between the teams and a lot of anxiety & adrenaline in the process! We had fun, the place was wonderful and we couldn't be happier with the experience! We will definitely recommend it to our friends.

Susan

We had a great time learning how to make fresh pasta. Chef Ivan and Chef Nora were great teachers. The class had 16 people in it, but it didn't feel like that many as we were split into different rooms. We all got a chance to make everything, from the doughs to the different shaped pastas, even some improved knife skills! Everything was super clean and the food we made was delicious. It was also great that they sent us home with the leftovers. I had a fantastic time, and would highly recommend this class.

James

This was an amazing and fun experience. The chefs, Ivan and Nora, were so helpful and made everyone feel comfortable. I really cannot say enough good things about them or the experience - we did the Iron Chef Challenge theme and had the best time, even the team members who were a bit skeptical of the event loved it in the end. You will have to sign up and do a class with Chef Ivan and team to experience to understand all the good things said here and by others.

Othilla

Chef Nora was great! Unlike other cooking classes I've done, this one wasn't stressful & overly fast paced. Instead, everyone cooked together, doing a part of the preparation. The Bento box class was awesome, I learned skills that I'll be able to transfer over.

My boyfriend and i did a date night here and had an amazing time! Chef Ivan was a great instructor—he described the steps in a super clear and easy to follow manner and worked in a bit of humor as well. This class would be suitable to all levels. As average cooks, we learned a lot, had a blast, and really enjoyed the food! Looking forward to trying another class in the future.

Rosemary Gohd

My sister and I had a great time. We learned great tips such as how to best use a knife and to make basic rice. The settings to learn and eat our meal were clean and beautiful. Chef Ivan was patient and pleasant. He managed our time well. We all got a chance to try all of the skills and preps. At the end, he even packed up our leftovers for us. We left very full and happy.

Melissa

21 Jan 2022

Amazing experience!

Brandon

19 Jan 2022

Great class! It's a good balance of time spent doing each part of the meal prep and actually practicing some knife skills. Don't expect a bootcamp on knife cutting, but you get 15-25 or so minutes to practice, can ask for assistance, and get some quality advice/tips/tricks to take home and hone in your knife skills. If you have a good group, it's a great time. The instructor was super friendly/helpful and I'd definitely recommend the class.

The experience was amazing. Chef Stefano was pleasant and a pleasure to cook with. Providing cooking tips along the way; laughter and great fun. This was my first time and I didn’t know what to expect, I was immediately put at ease, both Chefs are super friendly and very informative. I would go experience this again. By the way the food turned out delicious and your take away is knowing how to make whatever you make in the kitchen that day!! Hope this was helpful in you making a decision to go and create awesome food with help from two awesome Chefs.

Sashi

16 Nov 2020

Wonderful experience! Extremely clean and felt very safe. A lot of good tips for cooking in general, especially pasta. The three pastas were delicious...had enough to take home and eat for the next couple days. Definitely recommend to others!

Norma

15 Nov 2020

This was an excellent experience. I loved the food and chef Stefano was very personable and funny. My daughters and I were comfortable from the start and received a lot of good tips. Both chef Ivan and Stefano made sure the area was cleaned after each prep and we all wore masks and gloves. They were changed after each prep too. This was a truly enjoyable experience and I highly recommend it.

Another wildly successful evening with Chef Ivan and his crew! This was my second time throwing an event with Ivan and he managed to exceed my expectations. We had a crew of 15 people and everyone and I mean everyone LOVED the experience. The updates to the room made it easier to cook in and more aesthetically pleasing. The table was set beautifully. The pasta making was so fun and informative and the food was out of this world. What a wonderful night! Thank you Thank you!

Disappointing end to a great class. Chef Ivan was very informative and an excellent teacher during the class. We enjoyed the class and meal very much. Our disappointment came a week after when we realized we had not been emailed the recipes we were promised.

Camila

I am just in WOW of how amazing this experience was! Ivan not only is a wonderful chef but he thought us SO much! The Menu turned out delicious and everything exceeded my expectations, it made me enjoy cooking even more. I took my friend with me and she had no clue what exactly we were doing, she loved it! and wants to do it all over again. Thank you Chef Ivan for a wonderful experience and for wanted to share your knowledge with all of us : ) I can’t wait to come back!

Michael

Chef Ivan went out of his way to make us all feel included and everything was delicious. Highly recommend!

Rachel

03 Nov 2019

Chef Ivan was a great experience. Our group made 3 different pastas and sauces that were all equally delicious. He imparts enough knowledge to make the student confident but not overwhelmed, while also sharing recipes that are are full of flavor and easily modified. It was a fun and educational afternoon. Making my own fresh pasta and incredible sauces is now much less intimidating. Great NYC experience by a knowledgeable, creative, experienced chef! Will definitely be back for another class in the future!

Cindy

03 Nov 2019

Chef Ivan’s class was amazing! There were 5 of us on a girls trip from Oregon and it was the perfect class. It was a so fun that is was just the five of us and we learned so much. Loved learning to make fresh pasta and three sauces. They were all Delicious! And so enjoyable to get to sit and enjoy our meal together after cooking. Would love to come back for another class.

Monica

15 Sep 2019

Chef Ivan lead a fun experience for us in a great space. It was an awesome way to kick off a girlfriends weekend. We all had a great time and learned new cooking techniques, new knife skills and new recipes . He worked with us on a completely vegetarian meal and was flexible about the start time. He was careful about allergies. The recipes were all doable at home. The salad with avacado dressing was especially phenomenal. The only reason I am giving four stars instead of five is that despite a couple follow-ups, I am STILL waiting for one of the recipes (the portobello mushrooms - which were my favorite!) over a week later. I’ve done several cooking classes and this is the first one I’ve done where hard copies were not handed to me there, and where I did not get electronic copies right away. Otherwise I would have given five stars.

Vincent

11 Sep 2019

Chef Ivan is very knowledgable and was able to relay all the steps very clearly. We enjoyed our time, and would love to take another class with Chef Ivan.

Vivian

22 May 2019

Our team had such a fun time at Chef Ivan's. He is conveniently located in Greenwich Village, right off the West 4th street station. Our team did the Fresh Pasta 101 class, and we were impressed from start to finish. Delicious pastas, delicious dessert, and we all walked away having learned something. It was a fun event to do with my team, as we got to bond while making food, and bond while enjoying our dinner at the very end. I also like how Chef Ivan was very courteous the entire time, and even though we stayed past the 3 hour mark, he showed no signs of trying to kick us out (we were taking our time enjoying the BYOB with the food). Thank you, Chef Ivan, for a very fun team experience!

Adena

From the welcoming atmosphere and engaging chef to the friendly strangers (who felt more like family by the end of the class)...everything was better than we could have ever imagined.

Kathy

30 Dec 2018

First of all, the atmosphere is charming and welcoming. Chef Ivan is a consummate professional but without any arrogance. He was very approachable, friendly and detailed while teaching great techniques. He made sure that every participant performed each task, all the while keeping the class moving smoothly through preparing each course. Chef Jeremy the pastry instructor was also a good teacher and patient when answering questions. He too encouraged participants to help perform the various tasks required for making a savory pastry appetizer and the very important soufflé for desert. The menu definitely took my home cooking to a new level! I throughly enjoyed the class and would recommend it for individuals or groups.

Mark

28 Dec 2018

Chef ivan takes your ordinary cooking class and gives you the knowledge behind the techniques. You dont only walk away knowing how to make extremely tasty dishes, but you leave knowing the secrets of making these dishes become the masterpieces they are.

The meal was wonderful! They were able to accommodate both vegan and gluten-free dietary restrictions with delicious alternatives. The only recommendation I can offer is to have something for guests to eat or snack as they arrive. Our class started at noon and the meal was ready at 2 pm, which made a few guests quite hungry by lunchtime. But we left having had plenty to eat!

Amazing experience! We learned a TON about prepping food and were able to make a delicious dish. I highly recommend booking this with friends or co-worker - truly worth it!

Ana

This class is amazing! The food was great and so was Chef Ivan. All the food was delicious and chef Ivan explained step by step how everything should be done. All the pastas were very very tasty.

Jeff

Loved how he walked us through the process...really good director and food turned out great!

Sean

10 Jul 2018

The ched was very knowledgeable and the facility was top knotch. My problem was that the menu was all adapted by a non vegan. The appetizer was great but the other courses fell flat. Pasta was mediocre, “meat” balls were dry and I have had much better vegan cheesecake. I will not be booking through Cosymeal again. If I ate meat, I am sure I would appreciate everything the chef has to offer but there are much better vegan cooking classes in nyc

It was a great experience ! Chef Ivan taught us every detail during the process right from kneading the dough and knife skills to using the pasta machine and presenting the plates.

Gabriel

02 Jul 2018

Chef Ivan was fantastic. A clear expert in all thing Italian food, he taught us valuable skills from how to Julianne an onion to the proper way to knead gnocchi dough. In addition, he took an educational approach to the whole process, carefully explaining each step throughout cooking. I'd highly recommend Chef Ivan for any cooking class (although we took clients as a thank you for their business). His energy and enthusiasm made for a lively, fun class that we won't soon forget. And maybe most importantly, the clients we brought were still raving about the class and the food we cooked the next day!

Katherine

21 May 2018

Chef Ivan was great. He not only walked us through the step by step of a lovely meal, he also explained why steps were in the order they were and why certain things cooked the way they did. He was also very cognizant of the needs of the group. He would speak passionately about the cooking when the group was attentive but when the group started showing signs of tire, he seemed to also be happy to take over. It was all around a homey and wonderful cooking class.

Julia

Chef Ivan was a terrific instructor! Our team is responsible for staff trainings at our company and found him an entertaining, clear, and informative facilitator. We learned not only how to prepare the specific meal on the menu, but fundamentals about knife safety, useful tips about sequencing the preparation of multiple dishes, and how to make a delicious souffle.

Elizabeth

Chef Ivan provided us with an excellent experience. From teaching us proper technique for using a chef's knife, to how to best set the oven, to basic cooking tips like which oil to use. Chef Ivan was very pleasant and knowledgeable, and he helped us have a fantastic evening. Thanks!

Peter

22 Apr 2018

This was our first time taking a cooking class, and the experience and food were both excellent from start to finish. Chef Ivan has the talent and personality to make the the 3-hour class useful and relatable from novice to experienced cooks. We really couldn't think of any way in which Ivan could have made this experience more enjoyable and delicious. We are planning on signing up for another class with him soon. Trust us, this is well worth your time and money!

Rosanna

Ash

02 Apr 2018

This was one of the best cooking classes I ever experienced. The food was absolutely amazing and probably because the ingredients were fresh. I loved that Ivan gave us an overview of the night and how we all worked together to create the meal. I also loved that he allowed us to mingle and drink at the end of it all and finished up with the meals. This was a great dining experience!

Shauna

02 Apr 2018

Chef Ivan was incredible to learn from. He was very informative and it really shows how much he loves his art. We went for a birthday cooking class but we all left with some cooking knowledge and a REALLY fun time! The food was also UNREAL. Thank you Chef!

Great class!

Marianella

11 Mar 2018

It was a fantastic experience. It was fun and informative. Chef Ivan is very professional and knowledgable about the subject. You learn so much about things we take for granted in the kitchen. For example, what oils to use and how they change the flavor of food. We all felt a great sense of accomplishment after making the different pastas and then sat down to a delicious meal. Molto buono!

Alexandra

06 Mar 2018

My employees liked the class and said the chef was great! The main feedback I got was that because of the menu, only a few people had things to do at a time, so the rest of the group was just sitting around. They enjoyed it though.

Alli

26 Feb 2018

We had the most amazing time in Chef Ivan’s pasta 101 class. Chef Ivan was engaging, informative, and very fun. My sister and I learned so much and had a really fantastic night.

did not get to make it to my reservation. My review is on cozy meal and not Ivan but I don’t want to mess up his ratings, so I didn’t want to give him a 1. But I would give the company a 1 and would not reccomend cozy meal to anyone. Find another cooking class!

Jessica

16 Feb 2018

We had SO much fun at Chef Ivan's Fresh Pasta 101 class. It was a great mix of learning basic cooking skills like cutting techniques and learning specific tips to the dishes we were making. There was so much hands-on fun! We had a great time eating and chatting with the other couples there for Valentine's day as well! GREAT experience!

suzanne

15 Feb 2018

Pasta 101 with Chef Ivan was amazing! I went with my wife, for a Valentine’s Day date. The work space was clean. Chef Ivan was so patient with all us beginners. He really enjoys what he does and it reflects in how much he cares about the students experience. The intimate class size allowed maximum hands on experience and allowed us to make friends with the other couples. We are DEFINITELY going back for his other classes. I HIGHLY recommend Chef Ivan!

Carlos

15 Feb 2018

AMAZING EXPERIENCE. Loved the whole class. The set up, the atmosphere, the quaint private setting, etc etc. Everything was perfect. The food was DELICIOUS as well. Thank you for an amazing night. I would definitely recommend this to friends. :)

Karina

13 Feb 2018

Chef Ivan is one of a kind! He is super personable and explains everything in such a creative eye-opening way. My husband and I have been cooking for years and we still learned something new! Not only was Chef Ivan a wonderful instructor, he is such a great host! He laughed, joked and just was in the moment with us. Before I knew it, the night was over! I will definitely be back! We did the seafood evening and didn't regret it at all. Chef Ivan is the best!

Adam

07 Feb 2018

Chef Ivan turned cooking into a fun group activity! He’s extremely patient, and breaks down directions into simple easy steps which is fantastic because I needed that. He made cooking easy and fun! My wife who is an expert chef was not bored and myself who is a novice was still able to learn. Thanks to Ivan’s hell, I’m looking forward to repeating one of his recipe’s for my wife for Valentine’s Day. I would highly recommend this for a friend, family or stranger. 100% worth it! It’s like a dinner, a workshop and a movie all in the same location. You have to check it out!

Kindall

06 Feb 2018

Chef Ivan was an absolute pleasure- super friendly, knowledgeable and funny!! He made us laugh the whole class and made myself and my 5 other family members very comfortable and excited.

28 Jan 2018

Everything was great! Chef Ivan was pleasant and welcoming as well were his teaching skills. He has a great sense of humor to lighten up the mood and the nervousness of cooking as a beginner. I had a great time even though I was struggling to do anything right considering I never cook! However, this experience definitely makes me see cooking in a different light and makes me want to learn to cook.

Alexandra

27 Jan 2018

Chef Ivan is very knowledgeable and welcoming. His instructions were thorough and promoted understanding of WHY rather than just WHAT we were doing. We left with new skills that are applicable to not only the meal we made there, but a host of other recipes -- from basics we thought we knew to advanced techniques. The atmosphere was exciting, and the experience was incredibly enjoyable.

Edwin

27 Jan 2018

This was a great experience and it was due to Chef Ivan. The food was great and his staff was superb. Will definitely recommend to friends and family as well as return for more fun classes.

Elizabeth

23 Jan 2018

We had a 9-person private cooking class with Chef Ivan and it was fantastic! We split up into two groups and learned different techniques to create a delicious 3-course meal. We had a couple of folks who had dietary restrictions, which were seamlessly accommodated. Chef Ivan was knowledgable and handled our questions with ease. I'd recommend this class to groups and anyone who wants to learn authentic cooking techniques from an experienced chef.

Lindsay

21 Jan 2018

Great class! I learned so much and the food was amazing. Definitely will take another class from Ivan in the future.

Tara

19 Jan 2018

chef ivan and this class are a MUST for anyone who aspires to master the kitchen or at least a few dishes. chef ivan was incredibly patient with everyone in our class. he first gave an overview of each dish and then we all dove in, hands-on, and made an incredible three course meal. i can't wait to take another one of his classes. oh, and after he sent us the recipes from the class, i had a dozen questions for him, which i sent via email. in less than 24 hours he responded and answered every one of them. enjoy!

Tamarinda

16 Jan 2018

I purchased this experience as a gift for my husband after returning from a honeymoon in Italy and could not have been more satisfied! Chef Ivan is an absolutely wonderful teacher and an even nicer person! My husband and I feel prepared to try any of the three pasta dishes (and 5 sauces) we learned to prepare during class and were ecstatic with the delicious RESULTS! This is perfect for an intimate date with your special someone amongst new friends. The environment is warm, friendly, and fun! I would do this class (or any other offered by Chef Ivan) again!

Steven

16 Jan 2018

Chef Ivan was a really great teacher. Wonderful energy and a lot of fun. I would definitely take another class with him!

Golden

16 Jan 2018

This experience was very much worth it. It was truly hands on and engaging. Everyone got their aprons on and hands in the mix, literally! I went with my partner, and we had a class with 2 other couples, and 2 solo individuals, making the class size 8, which is perfect--I wouldn't recommend any more than that. Chef Ivan was very patient with each of us, he gave an excellent overview of what we'd be doing for the session, and explained cooking terms and tips expertly. The dining experience was also nice and cozy. We ran a bit out of time at the end, only because our group was so chatty! The only thing I wished for was to see how the salmon was prepared at the end, although he had walked us through the process already. Great experience, and I highly recommend to anyone, whether for a couple's bonding, friend's gathering, or team building. Excellent experience, and excellent food. The best part is, we could sit down eating at the table and proudly say that we created that!

Frank

16 Jan 2018

Quaint, well-explained, hands-on class (Italian Cuisine). While I expected the cooking class to be very “commercial and or school-like” because of what I watch on tv, this was the opposite. The class of 6, at his studio, made it feel like you were cooking at home amongst friends. Everything was well explained and variations were discussed so that we could personalize the entrees if we wanted to. Chef Ivan was great and would recommend to others most definitely.

Shane

15 Jan 2018

Chef Ivan's class was perfect! It was more then we could've hoped for! Every thing that we did was explained before, during, and after exceptionally! He was fun and energetic and you could tell how much he loved food which made it so exciting for us to learn! Such an amazing hands on experience! Food was delicious! And the company was great!! I would definitely recommend this for ANYBODY!! Great couples night out for sure! Already spoke to my fiancé about going back SOON!! Chef Ivan is a must do!!

Callie

15 Jan 2018

Chef Ivan was great! The class was engaging and exciting for both of us despite having very different skill levels. Chef Ivan is very articulate and patient and a natural teacher. We will be signing up for more classes with him. All the food was delicious and we can't wait to make the recipes ourselves at home.

Meghan

14 Jan 2018

Steven

08 Dec 2017

There was a lot of pressure on me to pick a team building, fun event while my team was in town this week. I kept it a surprise and on the way there the suspense drove them nuts. They used the time to tell me about every bad team building experience they had done in the past, and then my manager said "I just hope its not another escape room." The team was really surprised when we arrived. The event was engaging, unique, we learned a ton and most of all, we had fun. Chef Ivan was a tremendous host, teacher and chef. We prepared a delicious modern Italian feast and stuffed ourselves. We brought bottles of wine and had an amazing time. My team was unanimous in declaring the night with Chef Ivan as the best team building event they had ever attended.

Marc

02 Dec 2017

My girlfriend and I enjoyed the pasta 101 class with chef Ivan. He was very informative throughout the whole class. We both really enjoyed making the pasta. It was definitely a very hands on class. I w0uld love to try another class at some point. The gnohcii was absolutely amazing!

Loved the entire session. I was thrown back didn't expect such learning being that I cook a lot but he showed me how to really take time and have grace in the kitchen. We tend to rush everything these days but not this meal prep. It was great and the meal was authentic and flawless! I tagged cozymeal n the chef all day @empresstonome

Amy

03 Oct 2017

We decided to do this as a team building event for a group of 7. Chef Ivan was an absolute pleasure to work with. A few of us have allergies and he was able to create a custom menu that worked for us all. We found the class to be very fun and informative. We appreciated the hands on experience and the little scientific tidbits regarding food preparation and storage. We enjoyed sitting and relaxing together over our finished meal and wine (BYOB)! Also, the location in Manhattan was very clean and cozy. We plan to do this again and have already recommended this to some of our fellow colleagues. Thank you!

Jennifer

I was afraid that my wife and I might be intimidated, but Chef explained everything so well without any pretension whatsoever! If you're unsure that it might be too much, no worries! Book this and go enjoy! You also can take a wonderful walk around Little Italy when you're done as a bonus (to work off the, ahem, caloric intake.) 10/10 would book again.

I purchased the 4 course Mexican meal for my girlfriend and I who both enjoy cooking and love to learn how we can get better, especially when it comes to Mexican cuisine. Chef Ivan was fantastic explaining each step and letting us be hands on in the process. My girlfriend and I will absolutely will be booking another class in the future it was such an amazing experience.

For someone who doesn't normally cook, I must say this was a fun and delightful experience! Our chef for the night was knowledgeable and entertaining. Italian was on the menu, and the line up for the night was mouth watering. It was fun and simple, all while I enjoyed a glass of wine while whipping up a cuisine that even my mother would be proud of. We had tons of food left, so I gladly took them to go.

For someone who doesn't normally cook, I must say this was a fun and delightful experience! Our chef for the night was knowledgeable and entertaining. Italian was on the menu, and the line up for the night was mouth watering. We rolled up our sleeves to prep the food, and I learned a few things I could take back to my own kitchen. It was fun and simple, all while I enjoyed a glass of wine while whipping up a cuisine that even my mother would be proud of. We had tons of food left, so I gladly took them to go. In addition, the set up was fantastic. The kitchen was quite large (bigger than my manhattan apartment for sure), and equipped to cook everything you ever dreamed of. The other attendees there were extremely friendly, and made the night even more fun. Looking forward to the next session!

It was a really great experience. Chef Ivan showed how to cook really tasty and beautiful dishes. Lots of interesting culinary "hacks" too! I would definitely recommend him.

Chef Ivan was awesome. Super knowledgeable, friendly, and thorough. Took time explaining in detail what he was doing, and patiently answered all of our group's questions. The meal turned out great!

My wife and I attended this cooking class in NYC on a date night and we had a blast. Chef Ivan is an excellent chef. The food was delicious, we learnt a lot and the venue was fantastic! I will definitely book this again.

What a fun, interactive experience! The small group allowed us to move freely and ask a ton of questions, and get hands on with cooking. Ivan was patient and informative as he demoed and educated us. 3 hours flew by and we were stuffed to the brim and happily enjoyed leftovers the next day.

I always say, "Dessert is part of the meal." So I was happy to find out as one of the courses we would be making in Chef Ivan's class, was Tortino al Cioccolato. Better known as Molten Chocolate Cake, and always a crowd pleaser, I have had this dessert many times, at numerous places, as it is a must order when I see it on the menu.  Now I have a guaranteed crowd pleaser of a dessert in my arsenal, that will be sure to please even the most pickiest of guests.
