Chef Veronica was awesome! She very clearly explained what we were going to do and gave us a demonstration so we knew what would happen. She suggested different ways to eat the gnocchi and different types of sauces. She checked on us quite often in case we had questions. She’s also very funny! It was a really fun experience! I would’ve enjoyed it even without having my friends there. It was good to meet new people and they were very nice. The place was easy to find, roomy and the restrooms were clean. Great experience! I hope to attend another class soon.
