Awesome experience with Ivan and Dona making pasta. Instructors were fun and the food we made was delicious! Edit: Dropping to 3 star because whilst the Pasta class was excellent, I booked the "Rising sun" based on their suggestion it would be most suitable for a Vegan and Pregnant lady (E.g. they knew in advance). When we got there the chef wasn't aware, so those 2 had to miss the majority of the dishes. I emailed them about this and they didn't offer any form of compensation.

We had a WONDERFUL pasta-making class with Ivan! From start to finish, it was a memorable evening. Ivan was extremely friendly, gregarious and helpful. He walked us through every step and there gave us time in between to take breaks and drink wine and socialize. I attended with my husband and 16-year old daughter and Ivan made all of us feel welcome, included and like professional chefs. My daughter said it was the best pasta she ever tasted and we had just been to Italy. We will definitely take another cooking class at Red Inside Culinary Studio!

It was a great experience. Very interesting and delicious — I gained many new skills. Thank you, Vano. He is an amazing chef and teacher. I highly recommend everyone take a Georgian cuisine masterclass with Vano

Before I share what wasn't great, I will say that I loved the instructors and the food was delicious. The space that we cooked in was great, too. I was disappointed because this was not an adults-only class. Cooking along side us were six 15-year-old girls who were on their phones, messing around, talking over the instructor, and to top it off, they were drinking wine. I booked the class a romantic date for my fiancée and I to enjoy and learn some new cooking techniques but the experience was really soured by lack of communication regarding who we would be taking the class with. We had originally booked on a different date, but they cancelled it because there were not enough people in the class. It made us feel disappointed that they cancelled our class only to put us with a rowdy group of teens on what we assumed would be a fun date night. The teens drinking wine were never told to stop, they carried on with their "fun" (playing tiktoks and loud phone videos) and it ended up taking away from the experience. I know that teens have a right to be teens -- but this was a special class for us and their behavior was innapropriate for the setting. Why wouldn't the management of the business decide to put the teens in a class by themselves? It seemed like they just wanted to save money and cram as many people in the class as they could. At the end of the class, we were told that if we didn't have a glowing review to post, we shouldn't post one at all. That was the moment I realized why they have such high reviews on Google -- they ask people who didn't love the class not to post reviews. It was a little off-putting for a $250 cooking class. I expected more. We felt like awkward chaperones at a 9th grade field trip, but we didn't have the authority to correct their behavior. It was a let down.

What a fantastic experience this class was! I took the pasta class with a friend of mine to celebrate her birthday and it was the best time. The chefs were so fun and knowledgeable and the food was fantastic. I highly recommend!
