The pasta making class was an absolute blast, especially with Anthony as the teacher. It was great to have him as a guide through the class and he always kept it entertaining with his jokes and banter. The pasta class + dinner deal is such a steal, food was great and vibes were high. Highly recommend for a fun date night or booking with a group of friends!

We all enjoyed our food and our wine and the long time we were allowed to sit and talk after dessert. Two of us had the daily ravioli pasta special, two had the prix fixe meal (with the tiramisu for dessert - yum), and one had the salmon. Our server was very patient, putting up with all our questions and with how long it took us to order because we were catching up on a few years of history in our lives. A plus is the location - easy to get to via subways from the east and west est side of the city, not far from Union Square, Madison Square Park and Gramercy Park.
