I bought this experience as Christmas gifts fo my family. We are Italian, so gnocchi is a favorite dish in our house. This was a great experience for us all to make our own and see how easy it could be. Ben was very organized and had everything prepped and ready to go for us. He gave a nice little lesson in advance on the history of gnocchi and vodka sauce. I have celiac disease so I requested a gluten free modification. I didn’t really expect them to do it and was ok with it, but was very pleased that Ben had a gf station set up for me. It was great to be able to experience the making AND enjoy tasting! I would recommend this experience for couples, friends, even your teenage children.
