  • Knife Skills

    Anonymous review on 2/6/2020
    Wasn't sure if I really needed this class but ended up learning more than I thought I would. Great instruction, small class which allowed for questions and help, have already started using my new skills.
  • Hands-On Cheesemaking: Burrata

    Great class very informative and fun
  • Sausage Making 101, Hands-On

    Reviewed by Elizabeth B. on 12/8/2019
    The sausage making class was really fun! The atmosphere was very casual and I didn’t feel any pressure as someone who doesn’t really cook. I enjoyed how we were able to taste the sausages before picking the flavoring for the ones we were making. The end of the class dragged on a bit as there were about 20 people waiting around for 2 sausage makers, so I would suggest a change to help that. But overall, I would take another class at Eataly in the future!
  • Hands-On Fresh Pasta-making 101

    Reviewed by Nancy B. on 11/24/2019
    Nice introductory class; both hands on and demonstation format. Chef was knowledgeable and kept group on task and on schedule. Left class with new skills and lots of recipes. Would certainly recommend this class to orhers.
  • Hands-On Focaccia

    Reviewed by Victoria P. on 10/24/2019
    The class was fun and interesting. My only complaint is that the recipe we were given to take with us did not match the recipe we used. To omit the initial olive oil on the ingredients list is an egregious error that someone should have caught before printing. It took an observant classmate to bring it to our attention. You're better off googling a focaccia recipe. Which should be a major embarrassment to an Italian cooking school.
  • Hands-On Arancini

    Reviewed by Humaira P. on 9/4/2019
    When I signed up for this class, I was hoping to learn how to make Arancini from scratch. Learn how to make risottos for Arancini which is a important part of making it. Not How to Roll them... Everything was premade. I was truly very disappointed. Didn't even get to fry them.. I made an extra trip to go to Downtown Eatly to learn but nothing!! I could have learned like this on YouTube, instead...sadly! The instructor was nice...
  • Cheese 101 (Virtual)

    Reviewed by Lauren J. on 9/1/2019
    Great value for the money. Lots of cheese, bread, wine and good info.
  • Back to Basics: Fresh Pasta Shapes, Hands-on

    The teacher Josh was great!
  • How to Cocktail at SABBIA

    Anonymous review on 8/19/2019
    The class was great. The instructor was great. The only reason I rated it 4 stars instead of 5 was because the background music in the space occasionally made it difficult to hear.
  • Hands-On Arancini

    Reviewed by Patti P. on 8/16/2019
    Internet said it was an hour class. Was disappointed that the rice and filling were already prepared. All we had to do was roll it into a ball and bread it. I thought there would be more hands-on and learning. I am still interested in attending classes. Chef Josh was very good.
  • Cheese 101 (Virtual)

    Reviewed by Margie G. on 7/22/2019
    I recommend taking Cheese 101. This beginner's class is an excellent start. I credit the presenter on how he presented the information. Besides being knowledgeable, he connected well with the group which was a sizable class. I credit Etaly on its class format. There was a server on hand who attended to us -- keeping our glasses filled, etc. Although silent throughout the presentation, she was attentive and graceful. This class was well thought out. The only suggestion I would make is that your olive oil salesperson who was peddling outside the classroom needs to learn from the server or his other sales colleagues. After class, I and my friends went to purchase those items shared with us during the presentation. When it came time to purchase the olive oil, we asked the salesperson if he knew of olive oil used in class. His response "How would I know". We sample what he had and comment that particular one was darker in taste compared to the one in class. His response "of course it is dark, it is olive". We walked away not purchasing.
  • Cheese 101 (Virtual)

    Reviewed by Garrett E. on 6/23/2019
    I could definitely see the passion in our presenter. He is clearly very knowledgeable and eager to teach. I think the course could benefit by the use of visuals, photos maybe a few slides. There were times throughout the presentation that the cheese making process was described in great detail but it was difficult to follow and really dragged on. I feel the class could also benefit by placing some more emphasis on some of the more practical information for us as the consumer and slightly less details of the cheese production. We love eataly and love the fact you provide education experiences. We thought our presenter was fully qualified, capable and personable yet the content needs to be edited a bit. Thanks for allowing us to share our thoughts and we look forward to taking more classes in the future!
  • Spotlight on Saltimbocca

    Reviewed by Josephine K. on 6/14/2019
    The historically points that were included during the presentation made the course even more interesting ! The demonstration of how to prepare the food was especially well done and easy to follow! The wine pairing really enhanced the meal which was delicious !!
  • Hands-On Mozzarella Making

    I enjoyed this class. It was very interesting and well prepared. I plan on taking a class some time in the summer.
  • Bring Your Mamma:Mother's Day Parent/Child Pastamaking

    Reviewed by Liz C. on 5/13/2019
    We learned a lot and my son really had fun! Indeed, we decided to make similar courses a Mother's Day tradition. The class size was perfect to allow ample instructor attention. I enjoyed learning the little pearls scattered throughout the experience.
  • Hands-On Arancini

    Awesome class, good good/wine! Only complaint is that the class location was listed as la scuola, but is actually near the meat/seafood counter.
