This was highway robbery. It was $120 for my wife and I to make gnocchi. It consisted of flour, oil, egg , salt and 1/2 cup of cooked potatoes. The chef began the evening by telling us she was going to get us out of there as quickly as possible. This was a date night... the goal was not to rush through! The class was advertised as not only making gnocchi, but also making tomato basil sauce. The chef said there was no time to make the sauce and not enough pots. So she was serving us Prego from the jar. We ate our cooked gnocchi with the Prego sauce in Styrofoam bowls. There wasn't even a water bottle offered. You could buy a drink. No salad, no bread... nothing other than the gnocchi you made and the jarred sauce ladled on top with processed parmesan cheese. We enjoyed the people we sat next to and we learned how to make this pasta. But don't waste your money.
