" I had an incredible time at Mattarello! The pasta making class was informative and fun. The chef, Francesco, was a great instructor, sharing tips and tricks that I can use at home. The pasta we made was delicious and truly authentic - you can taste the quality of the ingredients they use. I would highly recommend this for anyone looking for a unique date night or family activity. The ambiance was cozy and warm, just perfect for enjoying a meal with loved ones. " (*Curated Review*)

" Mattarello exceeded my expectations! The cooking class was not just a demonstration; it was truly hands-on, and we got to make multiple types of pasta. I appreciated the chef’s involvement and his passion for the craft - it made the experience feel genuine. The food we created was fresh and absolutely delicious. The only downside was that I found the portions a little generous, which might not be ideal for someone with a smaller appetite. Still, a great place for anyone interested in cooking! " (*Curated Review*)

" I attended a bread-making class and was quite disappointed. The instructor was lovely, but the class felt rushed. Furthermore, we were unable to replicate the techniques at home due to the complexity involved. It would be nice to have a physical handout afterward to reference. The bread we were able to make was delicious, but I wish there had been more hands-on components. Still, Mattarello has so much potential and I appreciate the effort put into the experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" What an amazing experience at Mattarello! The pasta making class was everything I hoped for and more. Francesco was not only talented but very engaging with all of us. It was amazing that we got to eat our creations, and I was surprised at how authentic the flavors were. The atmosphere is cozy, and the staff treated us like family. I am looking forward to bringing more friends next time! This is a true gem in the city. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Mattarello for a cooking class and was blown away by how authentic the experience felt. The chef really knows Italian cooking and shared stories about his family recipes, which made the whole class feel personal. We made our pasta from scratch and the skills I learned are something I can use at home. The class was a bit pricey, but totally worth it for the quality of the food we got to eat afterward. The atmosphere is intimate but welcoming, making it easy to relax and enjoy the evening. " (*Curated Review*)

" A fantastic afternoon spent learning how to make pasta at Mattarello! The instructor was incredibly knowledgeable and engaged with each participant. I felt like a pro by the end of it, and the food we created was delicious! The only downside was the lack of dessert options available after the class, but honestly, the pasta was so filling I didn’t need more. Great value for such a fun and interactive experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about Mattarello, I had to try it out. I brought my partner for a cooking class, and we both had an absolute blast! The pasta we made was incredible, and I'm a picky eater. The class was very well organized, and the chef was friendly and knowledgeable. There was a learning curve, but it was fun to see our creations come to life. Only thing I would suggest is perhaps offering more dessert options as it was just tiramisu. Overall, I loved the experience! " (*Curated Review*)
