“Chef Bea was fantastic and the class was fun. Our family of 3 join 4 other travelers. She guided us with step by step instructions, and helped when ever she saw one of us struggling. Our raviolis were then cooked and served as our dinner. Meeting others was also a highlight. Class location was great, next to Piazza Navona. Highly recommend this class with Bea.”
