Great experience.

Alyssa Culp

My husband and I attended a pasta class here and it was one of my favorite date nights we have ever had! Every course was delicious, and Mina was amazing. 10/10 would recommend and do over and over again!

Don't go here. They have bugs in their kitchen. The owner is so nasty.

The owner was very nice and I will go back to try another meal(s). You do need to have a wine list added to your menu. The Corkage fee was reasonable at $15 a bottle so thank you-

We had the best evening at this place! We were 13 gals for a cooking class and had a wonderful evening. Great activity, well organized, easy and delicious. Nina is simply the best, highly recommend it!

Debbie

We had dinner and our server Troy was very pleasant, courteous and answered all our questions. The food was delicious and fresh and reasonably priced (compared to so many restaurants. today) We'll definitely return for dinner and to take a cooking class!

Tonight was absolutely amazing!!! We did the night cooking class and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I’ve made spaghetti before and the instructor helped me with a couple new styles that I have never tried and helped me with tips for the future, my boyfriend on the other hand has never made pasta and he said this was a great experience and he was so happy to learn. The appetizers and the desserts that came with the meal were to die for. It’s a 10/10 and I will be recommending it to all my friends. It’s a great date night experience, a good bonding experience for friends and family or even if you want to solo trip it I 100% believe everyone will have a great time!

We came as a family of five to the dinner pasta class. Arriving 10 minutes early for the scheduled class, we found the host to be impatient. She stressed that we needed to leave exactly after two hours. We were disappointed with the appetizers, which consisted of 2 plates of focaccia that one of them was fresh and the other not. The pasta class was interesting and simple. It turns out that making pasta is much less complicated than it might seem. When we were about to leave, the host complained about the tip we left her claiming it didn’t meet California standards. We were attending a cooking class, not dining at a restaurant with a set menu. We were surprised that tax was added and on top of that we had to add tip. We paid over $100 per person including tips, and for what we received, it felt highly overpriced. Some of the pasta had a rubbery texture, and the sauce was bland. Additionally, we were disappointed that we didn’t get to learn about the sauces, which is crucial for making good pasta. I wouldn’t recommend this experience to friends or others.

My boyfriend and I booked a pasta making class with Guli. We were lucky and had the whole restaurant to ourselves. Guli took the time to guide us through multiple kinds of pasta shapes. We absolutely loved the experience and the food was delicious. The sausage and asparagus was our favorite dish. The focaccia appetizer and tiramisu dessert was amazing also. Thank you Guli, we will be back soon!

I had a great time at the pasta making class! Instructors were friendly and helpful, and I enjoyed the process from start to finish. You start with a rundown of the different types of pasta you could make, then they guide you through mixing the ingredients, handling the dough, feeding the dough through the machine, etc. When you’re done, you get to eat your creation! Super fun and delicious! Highly recommend taking a class at Mattarello, whether you’re solo like me or you bring a +1 (I saw a group of friends and some couples enjoying the class). ?
