Napoli: Corso di Cucina con Pasta Fresca, Tiramisù e Bevanda in Ristorante

Die Person, die den Workshop geleitet hat, war krank und wirkte deshalb unmotiviert. Es wurden nur die nötigsten Informationen vermittelt. Ich hatte erwartet, dass ich auch lerne, wie man eine Sauce für die Pasta selbst zubereitet. Während ich auf das Essen wartete, bekam ich Bruschetta serviert. Das Brot war teilweise verbrannt und schwarz, zudem fehlte frischer Basilikum. Als dann die selbstgemachte Pasta serviert wurde, war ich sehr enttäuscht. Die Saucen, die darüber gegossen wurden, wirkten nicht frisch. Insgesamt war alles lieblos angerichtet und einfach durcheinander auf den Teller gelegt.

We did the pasta making course on the 16/02/26 and our teacher was so uninterested in teaching us anything or engaging in conversation. We asked her questions and got vague responses it seemed like she wanted to just go home and then as soon as we sat down after our 45 minute interaction she left while we waited for the meals to be cooked which were very ordinary. At one point I needed help with the pasta and said “mine doesn’t look very good” and she said “don’t worry it will all turn out the same”. It was such a shame as we were very much looking forward to it. Sadly I would not recommend this course :(

I expected much more from this cooking class in Naples. Unfortunately, the experience was rather simple and not very engaging. We only made the pasta itself, but no sauces to go with it, which made the learning experience feel incomplete. The dishes we were served afterwards did not taste good at all. The recipe was very basic, without any special tips, techniques, or background knowledge that you couldn’t easily find online. The whole class also felt quite unstructured. Overall, it was not a memorable experience. If you truly want to learn or enjoy cooking, you’re better off finding a good recipe online and trying it at home.

I am so glad I chose to do this event. The restaurant was very nice and had a great view from the second floor (where the class took place) of the ocean front and a castle to the side. I was very fortunate that during the class I was the only person who did pasta and tiramisu. Everyone else had the pizza class on the other side of the restaurant. Having a one on one experience with the instructor gave me a chance to really discuss ingredient differences between Canada (North America) and Italy. Matilde (the instructor) was very knowledgeable and gave great insight to ingredients used and how they differ to where I live. She made the experience fun and educational and I even learned a few techniques to better how I cook at home. The tiramisu even turned out better than I thought because I never made it before so the expectations were not that high. All in all great activity and I had a lot of fun and from the sounds of it the pizza group had a great time as well.

We had such a fun time with our chef! It was fun to make our tiramisu (which tasted amazing!!) and our three types of pasta-but none of our group thought that the pastas tasted very good. You also aren’t specifically eating the pasta that you made, if that makes a difference to you or not🤷🏼‍♀️ the location in the restaurant was excellent—clean and very cute for photos. My girls (13 and 17) enjoyed themselves and we look forward to recreating the recipes at home!
