The chef was an excellent instructor with both personality and talent. Our experience was disrupted by the other patrons who were so involved in their personal conversation that it drowned out the instructional part of the class.

The class with chef Jason was very fun and I learned a lot. He was very informative and the Gnocchi was amazing.

Great class. My partner and I had a fantastic time and are excited to take our skills home! Chef Jason was kind, goofy and patient. Am interested in signing up for one of his other classes for the fall!

I was unfortunately pretty disappointed in this gnocchi cooking class. While Chef Jason was friendly, personable, and added some humor to the evening, that was really the only highlight. The venue itself felt awkward and poorly suited for a hands-on cooking experience. The space was overcrowded, making it hard to see or hear what was going on. I could barely hear the chef’s instructions. He also shared everything all at once rather than breaking it down in steps. Sanitation was also a concern. We were not directed to wash our hands at any point, despite everyone sharing ingredients and pulling flour from the same bin. For a food-focused event, that felt like a big oversight. In terms of the actual cooking, it was underwhelming. We simply mixed four ingredients together—something that could have easily been done at home with a quick YouTube tutorial. I was hoping for a more educational and immersive experience, but it felt more like a rushed group activity than a proper class. Overall, the class lacked the structure, sanitation, and depth I would expect from a cooking class—and I left feeling like I hadn’t really learned anything.

Excellent class! We had a lot of fun and the Gnocchi and sauces was excellent. Would highly recommend.

Chef Jason is the kind of instructor you hope to get in any cooking class: skilled, approachable, and genuinely invested in helping you learn. I took his gnocchi class and left not only full from the all gnocchi we made (and ate) along with the sauces to pair, but with a fun memory with my partner and a few new tricks I’ll actually use in the kitchen. He kept instructions clear and easy to follow, weaving in tips that apply to more than just gnocchi. Things like how to choose the right ingredients, where to find quality produce, and simple techniques that make a real difference. It was the kind of insight that goes a long way. What really stood out was how grounded he is. From the start, the class felt relaxed and welcoming. A guy with just a real passion for food and for helping people learn. If you're looking for someone who knows their craft and knows how to teach it, Chef Jason is a real gem.

This class was awesome! Chef Jason was knowledgeable and a joy to learn from. I can’t wait to make my own gnocchi at home!

It was a good cooking class and I learned what I wanted to learn, but the venue was very very cold and I think the class size should have been smaller so that chef Jason had more time to spend with the people taking the class

Jason was great! Learned so much during the class and had a blast. This was a surprise date for my wife and she loved it, definitely would go again.

We had the pleasure of having Chef Petronzio prepare a wonderful meal for our family and friends. He is very knowledgeable and engaging (he even had our kids assist with dinner prep!). Additionally, he included recipes that we still use as holiday staples to this day. Five stars!!!

When Chef Jason was working at Dominick's Restaurant, in West Chicago, IL, I had the pleasure of a "Surprise Dinner".  He prepared an order of Baby Scallops in a cream sauce which wasn't on the menu.  It was outstanding and I went back the next week and had it again. On another occasion, he prepared a delicious Bone In Rib Eye - perfectly cooked with all the trimmings.  Over the years, I have had several fantastic meals from Chef Jason.  He truly is an outstanding chef.

My name is Kristina Hein and I have had the pleasure of enjoying Jason’s cooking for many years.  When Jason and his family relocated to the Seattle area, they lived with us for a short period of time. During this time, Jason shared many tips with me to make my life easier in the kitchen. For example, who knew you were supposed to hold the knife in different ways depending on what you were cutting or chopping? Jason took the time to explain how to hold the knife and why you held it in different position when you sliced, cut, or chopped. Besides giving helpful tips, Jason helped me by cooking for everyone 1-2 nights a week. My husband would come home from work and realize it was a night Jason would be cooking dinner and smile at me and say, “I hope it is Lemon Chicken!” I would grin and say, “Whatever he makes, it will be delicious!”
