It was great fun and our gnocchi was delicious. Francesco was very knowledgeable and friendly. We learnt how to go further than the "supermarket" gnocchi, and make a genuine gnocchi da Padova. Especially liked how to do the garlic in the sauce. 5 stars.

Really fun morning. I'd been looking for a gnocchi class and this was a completely hands on experience from understanding the recipe ratios, to making, shaping and cooking the gnocchi. It was just me (thanks for running it for one person!) and I really enjoyed chatting to Francesco about food and Padova while we worked. Recommended.

Chef Francesco was knowledgeable, efficient and well able to give instructions in simple terms which made the experience very relatable and enjoyable. The concise instructions will ensure that I translate this experience to my own home cooking

Francesco is definitely a professional! Not only did he give me great tips on successfully making gnocchi, but he shared a lot of history about the city along the way! He’s a worldly Italian with great energy and enthusiasm!

Francesco is a super friendly guy who offers much more than a simple cooking class, but a complete immersion in Italian gastronomy. He really knows his stuff and is passionate about sharing what he knows. Highly recommended !
