Cooking Class: Make Gnocchi With Chef Cici

Cici was great! She made the class fun and and gnocchi (with her pesto) was so delicious! Would definitely take a class with her again!

- Mary

Such a fun class! Chef Cici was super sweet and gave lots of insight on pasta making

- Mane

This was such a fun class! Chef Cici was great and very knowledgable about everything that went into our gnocchi dish. Instructions were easy to follow along with and my boyfriend and I had a wonderful time conversing and cooking along with the rest of the group. The small, intimate class size of 6 people was just right and there was plenty of 1:1 attention. And the location couldn't be beat! Having at a brewery was so much fun as we got to have a drink while we cooked. Thank you, Chef Cici!

- Danae

Chef Cici was fun and engaging and gave us tips for other dishes as well! We had a great evening with her!

- Rene

Very intimate and lovely experience. The setup was no frills and well thought out. The recipe of ricotta gnocchi w/green pea pesto turned out to be fun and delicious while not taking very long to prepare. Would do another class with Cici for sure.

Both my husband and I enjoyed the class very much! It was our first experience making pasta, and Chef Cici made it so easy and fun! She explained to us the style and ingredients for this typical Northern Italy pasta dish, and was very clear and thorough on each step of making the pasta. I never knew making pasta was so easy! The dishes we made were delicious! I’d highly recommend this class to couples for date night ideas or group of friends who’d like to share a fun experience together!

Chef Cici was very nice amd lead the class with ease. She created a very stress-free and fun learning ing environment. We would take another one of her classes in the future.

- Danielle

Chef Cici was very knowledgeable and kind. She made due with the environment she was provided.

- Carolina

Great!

- Gareth

Chef Cici was amazing! Very helpful tips. I wish the venue was a bit better. It was very loud in the lobby that it was attached to and we didn’t have the right materials to make the pasta shapes successfully.

- Aaron

Class was quite short, and only one type of sushi was made. Would have liked a full dinner out of the event, and multiple styles

- Finn

While Chef Cici was good at teaching, I was disappointed by the class. It is advertised as a 2 hour class that includes making two rolls, but the class was stopped after an hour and we didn’t make the second roll (sweet potato roll).

- Soroush

The idea of the class is nice. However, parking needs to be clearly stated where to park also signs leading to where the venue is, and directly outside n front of the venue. This was date night thought we would make pasta with sauces and have a meal with drinks at the end. Wasn’t clearly stated that there is a bar to purchase multiple drinks which was why we brought our own. We thought you could only buy 1 drink. We were thankful to get charged the corking fee. Need seasonings and toppings for pasta. You can charge more and have it be an actual dinner. Cooking class needs to be set at an earlier time so that you are not leaving the event in the DARK to then walk the dirty streets of downtown la, with the unhoused everywhere you turn. There should also be some kind of keepsake that you get to take home. Also there should be aprons to wear so that you don’t get flour all over yourself. Need the spinning fans that sit on the tables and turns to keep the flies and knats away. It’s absolutely horrible to try and make food with a lot of knats hovering over the drinks and pasta that we were making. The class has a lot of potential to be great but is falling short in these aspects. We had a good time just because we had each other. If I took the class by myself I would have left early. Hopefully this is helpful and future classes will reap the benefits!

Chef Cici was very nice but there were a few things that were not ideal. The space the class was held was in the back of a bar on a patio and was very crammed. It is a good thing that 2 people did not show up since there was not enough room if they did. Also, the description said that we were going to be making 2 kinds of rolls but we only ended up making the first one. I believe some people did not have enough ingredients to make their second (couples were paired up to make rolls). Lastly, the instructions were not very clear and the demonstration was not visible to many people. The class said it was 2 hours but were were there for about 30-45 minutes.

- Dmitry

Very disappointing experience. The class was nothing like what was advertised. It was supposed to be a hands on sushi making class where each person made their own sushi roll and enjoyed a full meal. Instead, we were told to make one sushi roll per pair, which is not what we paid for. Everyone should have had the opportunity to make their own roll or rolls. On top of that, the class lasted only one hour instead of the advertised two hours, and it definitely did not include a full meal. Overall, the experience did not match the description, and I would not recommend it based on the misleading advertising. Will requesting a refund as I had to go buy a FULL meal afterwards.

Chef Cici's Fresh & Easy Pasta class was horrible!!! A better name would have beeen "One Pot Pasta Making class" There was 15 people in the class and she only had one medium size pot to cook pasta for 15 people with one small electric burner. We had to take a number and wait for our turn to cook pasta with minimal cooking time. The pasta was so under cooked that you could barely chew it. It reminded me of "Gummy Bear" Pasta if that actually exists. Cici, most certainly need cooking assistants more pots and more portable cooking burners. I would not book another class with "Classpop" What a waste of time and money. Very disappointed!!!!

- Sheryll

35 minutes for $117 ?? Not worth it. She was nice enough, but definitely but worth what we paid. Asking for a refund.

- Laurie

Her dishes are easy to prepare and the ingredients are always available in the pantry which is what I love about her recipes. They are also very healthy!

- Zeinas D

Cici is sooooo talented! She can do literally everything!

- Dounia B

Chef Cici needs her own show!

- Curly D

They way she presents her food is pure Art! Seeing her dishes is a comfort to the eyes.

My husband and I had a wonderful cooking class with Chef Cici!
