We had a great evening with Chef Landi in Philly! I bought this experience for my husband for Valentine’s Day, not really knowing what to expect. Far exceeded our expectations! Chef Landi was fun, welcoming, and engaging. His menu was perfect, even adjusting it for vegetarians. The class size of 6 was perfect and all the participants were lovely. The kitchen space was comfortable and easy to work at. We had a blast and ate until we were stuffed. Will definitely do this again in the future!

Make Vibrant Holiday Ravioli Review Photo from Cooking Class in Philadelphia

Kate P. December, 2025

Booked the class Make Vibrant Holiday Ravioli with Chef Cristina in King of Prussia

We enjoyed our ravioli making class, it was absolutely delicious! Tasha was a great teacher and we will definitely try this recipe at home. Our only feedback is that we went as a couple and didn’t love that our group was a foursome and that meant that other people’s hands were all over our food. I understand that some might come as singles and that’s absolutely great—we love meeting new people and sharing the table space with others is enjoyable. But not everyone adheres to the food handling rules and this was a bit off-putting. If the recipe could be split up for each person or twosome to have their own ingredients, we would have enjoyed it a bit more. Again, loved the recipe though.

Chef Landi was a great and I’ll definitely be making these dishes at home. I felt the others in our group were pretty rude and inconsiderate, but he didn’t rush anyone despite going well over the intended class time. He explained why he did things as he went, how you could change the recipe if you wanted a different flavor, and even supplied boxes to take home leftovers. Very friendly, patient, and kind. Thank you for letting us into your home!

The resident chef was great. The class however was overbooked. 4 people to a table was at least one maybe two too many. We paid to learn and practice the skills and techniques and we really only got to do half of the experience due to sharing the space and duties.

Booked the class Italian Seafood Fare with Chef Landi in Philadelphia (Queen Village)

Chef Landi was great, and this experience was 100% worth it! I booked pretty far in advance, about two months, which is necessary since Chef Landi's classes are so popular. We arrived about 10-15 minutes before the start time, which I learned was probably a bit early. I think it is ideal to arrive about 5 minutes ahead of time so you can get in and settled, open your wine (or drink of choice that you brought with you to accompany your meal), and chat with the chef a bit. Chef Landi was thorough and took his time throughout each of the four courses. He provided tips and tricks on cooking in general, knife skills, and everything in between. He was so friendly, answered every single question we had, and told us stories of his experiences in Albania, Italy, and the US. The other people that were in our class were a great addition to the experience! We had fun getting to know each other, chatting, and learning to cook the courses together. I would recommend this class 10 time out of 10! Enjoy!
