  • Chef Andy was friendly, approachable, interactive in her teaching style, very knowledgeable and eager to share her cooking experience and knowledge with us. She was non-judgmental about the skills and knowledge and questions asked by us. The food was delicious. The only suggestion would be to provide the recipes at the beginning so we could follow along and take notes as we went. Overall a fabulous experience and I would definitely take another class from Chef Andy!
  • It was very fun
  • Chef Koko was delightful! We had a great time.
  • I went to the pasta-making class at The Chopping Block in Lincoln Square on Tuesday, September 2nd, and it was honestly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. This class was a birthday gift for me (probably the best gift I’ve ever gotten), and it made for not only a super fun birthday outing but also a great date night with my partner. This was my first cooking class ever, and as someone who already loves cooking at home, I was blown away by how fun and hands-on it was. Chef Alexi was fantastic—she explained everything clearly, from rolling and cutting fettuccine to filling ravioli, and even the details of cooking the pasta just right. She was patient, thorough, and always ready to answer questions. Plus, there were other chefs walking around to offer help whenever anyone needed it, which made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. We cooked a lot of food—and even had enough to take home afterward, which was such a treat. Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better way to spend my birthday. I left with full hands (and a full stomach), new cooking skills, and some really great memories. If you’re looking for something fun, interactive, and delicious, I can’t recommend The Chopping Block enough.
  • Poko was fantastic ! So much fun and so well facilitated.
  • Great class. Food and entertainment was great.
  • The instructor was wonderful and I would love to take another class with her. Her directions were clear and very helpful. She also filled in with so much related information I actually took notes! Enjoyed her sense f humor. Please send her thanks. Tina
  • Arya was truly an amazing teacher and chef.

  • Bring Your Mamma:Mother's Day Parent/Child Pastamaking

    We learned a lot and my son really had fun! Indeed, we decided to make similar courses a Mother's Day tradition. The class size was perfect to allow ample instructor attention. I enjoyed learning the little pearls scattered throughout the experience.
  • Food was great. Instructors were very nice and fun. Our table team of five was great to work with; it was really nice getting to know the other four people at the table. We even got to take the extra food home.

  • Flash Demo: Focus on Trofie al Pesto

    Had a wonderful time and thought the pasta was good
  • Our group of three had a really nice evening at this class. Amanda was really nice and helpful, and the two other ladies were also nice and helpful. Everything was pre-measured for us, and all our dirty dishes were taken away and washed for us, so how can you go wrong? :) We made quite a few dishes and got to eat them at the end. We were pleasantly surprised knowing that we could make tasty meals on our own after this class.

  • Hands-On Pasta Workshop

    I took the pasta workshop at The Chopping Block and had a great time. The class was hands-on, from making the pasta from scratch to rolling it out, cooking it and eating it. Chef Joey Hahn was incredibly knowledgeable and taught us about knife skills and cooking techniques. The dishes we made were delicious and there were tons to take home after.
  • Hands-On Pasta Workshop

    The class was very fun and truly quite amazing. Conquered my fear of pasta and learned that I can have fresh pasta any night of the week. Made in minutes!! The teaching staff were very informative and engaging which really put me at easy.
  • Hands-On Pasta Workshop

    The instructor Mario is talented and an excellent instructor; he explained theory and other cooking concepts in an easy manner without being authoritative. No question was stupid, and I asked plenty. I would definitely take another class at this school.
