We have taken many cooking classes through our years of travel …. this one is among the best!!! My husband and I enjoyed learning about her special traditional gnocchi and meatballs recipes and of course eating them!!Which were the best we’ve ever had! We would highly recommend her class!!
Thank you so much for your beautiful words! It truly means a lot to me, especially coming from such experienced travelers and cooking class lovers. I’m very grateful to have had such kind and lovely guests, the evening together honestly felt more like a dinner with friends than a class, and that’s exactly the atmosphere I always hope to create. Wishing you both all the very best and many more wonderful travels and experiences ahead. ✨
My sisters and I were excited to take a class that was not the usual pasta or pizza and this class was perfect. Gin, our instructor, was such an engaging and welcoming host. Her friendly demeanor made us feel right at home. We enjoyed a relaxing evening, learning how to make gnocchi and meatballs as we shared friendly conversation and then enjoyed a lovely meal. Gin was very sweet and provided us with some tips and recommendations for Rome. I would strongly recommend this class.
Ciao Sandy, Thank you so much for your kind words! It was truly a pleasure having you in the class. I’m so happy you enjoyed trying something a little different and that you felt at home throughout the experience, that’s exactly the atmosphere I hope to create :) It also means a lot that you appreciated the tips about Rome! Thank you again for your recommendation, and I hope to welcome you back one day 😊
We got to know our lovely hosts over snacks and drinks. Then we made the gnocchi and meatballs in their well appointed kitchen. While we waited for everything to finish cooking we sat outside on their beautiful patio sipped on some delicious wine. We ate outside and all of the food was extremely delicious and authentic, her grandmother’s recipe. This was an excellent evening and well worth the price. The cooking instructions were simple and easy to understand, the meal was fabulous, and the hosts were outstanding. I would highly recommend this for anyone interested in a cooking class.
Ciao Paul, Vicki, Host you has been an honor! Thank you sincerely for this wonderful review, dinner together and share with you some of the traditions of my family was a great pleasure. I hope to have the possibility to see you soon :) Gin
Amazing cooking class, authentic and super cozy. We enjoyed semolino gnocchi (never heard about it before, great choice!) and polpette, the dinner was generous and tasty, paired with good Italian wine :))
Ciao Ginni, It's been a pleasure to host you and Jane to the Meatballs Lab :) I'm glad that you enjoyed the semolino gnocchi recipe, it's a gem you could not give up! I hope to have the opportunity to host you again, best, Ginevra
Very fun experience, Ginevra was an excellent host, Roman gnocchi and meatballs as good as grandma's, we will definitely make them again. Beautiful, well-kept and welcoming house, the garden where we had an aperitif was also beautiful. Highly recommended
Ciao Minu, sono molto contenta che il laboratorio di polpette vi sia piaciuto, è stato un grande piacere ospitarvi e spero possiate replicare a casa tutto quello che abbiamo fatto insieme! A presto e grazie, Ginevra
Such a great experience! Would definitely recommend if you want to try something off the beaten path to meet locals and experience authentic Italian culture. Hope to see you next time I'm in Rome, Ginevra!
A great way to make new friends and spend an evening in company. And I also learned to make meatballs differently than I do. As Ginevra repeated many times “every house has its meatball”!
Ciao Federica, Sono davvero felice che tu abbia apprezzato il laboratorio di polpette, è stato un piacere averti ospite e condividere la serata insieme. Sono contenta che tu abbia trovato il laboratorio non solo divertente ma anche un'opportunità per fare nuove amicizie. E poi, non c'è nulla di meglio che portare a casa una nuova ricetta da provare :) Grazie ancora per aver partecipato, spero di vederti presto al laboratorio di gnocchi! Ginevra
