It felt like we was being taught by a very knowledgeable aunt on how to make pasta and its origins.

• 5/5 from Jamie R Styles, attended Jul 2025: I had an excellent experience at the pasta making class with the wonderfully knowledgeable and enthusiastic Silvana. The session was brilliantly hands-on, allowing us to get fully involved in the pasta-making process while also learning about the fascinating history of pasta. Silvana shared fantastic insights into what to look out for when choosing pasta in the supermarket, something I’ll definitely take with me going forward. The balance between practical skill-building and informative discussion made this a truly memorable and enjoyable experience. Thank you, Silvana – highly recommended!
• 5/5 from Andrew Worrall, attended Apr 2025: We had an amazing time, learning to make all different shapes of fresh pasta, guided by Silvana in her home. The history, nutritional value information and culinary tips all add to a really interesting experience, learning from a master pasta maker! We made a delicious sauce based on asparagus and pistachio which turned our efforts into a great meal at the end, which we shared with Silvaner. Altogether, a highly recommended experience for anyone with a passion for Italy, it’s food and culture. Thank you!
• 5/5 from Paula Borja, attended Apr 2025: The class was amazing! From beginning to end, Silvana was an amazing teacher. She was super patient, kind and, in general, great. The class itself was very interesting.

• 5/5 from Laura White, attended Feb 2024: Fantastic evening! We had a wonderful time in a relaxed environment - would recommend! Silvana is a fantastic teacher and very warm - made us all feel at home.
• 5/5 from Pooja, attended Feb 2024: Silvana is truly the best! I really liked the intimate setting and her pasta making experience, general warmth and enthusiasm during the class was very much appreciated (and got some cuddles from the cutest cat :))
• 5/5 from Juan Pablo Aguero, attended Jan 2024: Great experience and the pasta turned out delicious! Super fun evening and we learned a lot of pasta facts.
• 5/5 from James Hammerton, attended Sep 2023: She was very helpful and had a great personality. She really knew what she was talking about (e.g the history and nutritional values of different pastas). The class was held in her kitchen, which looked abit small at first, but for 5 people cooking pasta you do have enough room. The class was easy to follow, we had great fun, forming the pasta dough and making the different shapes. It might look abit pricey, but for the food, history lesson, nutrient lesson and great vibes, it feels like your on come and dine with me. So I would greatly recommend anyone to spend cooking lesson with Artisan.
• 5/5 from Oliver Basi, attended May 2023: It's like jumping into an Italian family home. Silvana was a lovely host and we really enjoyed the class, the laughs and the stories. We learned a lot about pasta history and making, plus the dinner we made together was delicious.
• 5/5 from Antoine Leservoisier, attended Mar 2023: Great class taught by a very friendly and interesting teacher. Thank you very much Silvana!
• 5/5 from Joseph Chadwell, attended Feb 2023: Fun and engaging experience, relaxed setting, very knowledgeable and helpful teacher taught in her home.
• 3/5 from Vishal Singh, attended Feb 2023: Chef has a good knowledge of all things pasta. However needs to be better organised to deliver the artisan experience as advertised.
• 5/5 from Aditya Patel, attended Jan 2023: Superb overall. The art and science of pasta-making well delivered and taught. Dietary preferences of students were also considered. No shortcuts taken to speed up the process.
• 5/5 from Shipra Singh, attended Oct 2022: It was a very engaging and fun evening. We learnt the art of making pasta. The secret for buying good pastas. Made our home pasta from scratch and sauce too.
• 5/5 from Varun Wykes, attended Oct 2022: Silvana our teacher was just great, she was knowledgeable and tue class was interesting and engaging. The only suggestion would be to maybe declare pasta’s rightful place on the Italian table and showcase regional and sauces rather than sauces just from the north. The pasta itself was delicious, on its own and Silvana was lovely warm and friendly. Thank you.
• 5/5 from Katelyn Fyvie, attended Sep 2022: Truly authentic experience! Absolutely lovely and pasta was delicious! Would recommend and be prepared to relax and enjoy!
• 5/5 from Bianca Allery, attended Jul 2022: Sylvana was absolutely awesome! So knowledgeable she took us through the history of pasta, how to buy pasta and a delicious recipe to make at home. My 7-year old son loved it and wants to go back again and again :)
• 5/5 from Basil Zafiropoulos, attended May 2022: I can honestly say this was the most incredible cooking experience I’ve ever had. Silvana is an absolute gem! Knowledgeable and patient with us. I could not recommend this more highly
• 5/5 from Kelsey Tollady, attended Apr 2022: Sylvana is one of a kind. Instantly warm, hospitable, and with an excellent sense of humour - her pasta-making knowledge is second to none. She took her time to carefully explain the history and techniques behind making pasta, and peppered it with beautiful references to her own family’s deep ancestral roots with pasta making. Not only do we feel confident in making mouth-watering pasta dishes for ourselves, we also know what to look out for when shopping for that quick fix of dried pasta from a supermarket. You will not regret giving The Pasta Artist a chance to show off her skills. Thank you Sylvana for an excellent and memorable evening!
• 5/5 from Anne Foster, attended Apr 2022: A wonderful experience for all - from age 9 to 70. Brilliant to learn in someone’s home in such a casual and “familiar” environment with simply delicious food at the end! Definitely recommend.
• 5/5 from Lily Mannion, attended Feb 2022: We had such a lovely time making pasta! I left feeling like I could definitely make homemade pasta at home by myself, but also with a lot of new knowledge about the history of pasta and how to purchase pasta for myself in grocery stores. The host was clearly very knowledgable about pasta and had a lot of different recipes for pasta and sauces to share with us. It was an absolute blast and a great way to spend the afternoon - thank you so much!
• 4/5 from Merryl Roberson, attended Feb 2022: Welcoming and friendly teacher who knew so much about pasta! I learnt so much and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Thank you!
• 5/5 from Zack Eiseman, attended Jan 2022: I decided to book this as a Christmas present for his birthday as he loves Italian food and cooking. I'm so glad I booked this instead of other, more cooperate classes I saw advertised. The class was really friendly and intimate her passion and knowledge for pasta was clear. The class over ran by more than an hour, but that time was well spent. We enjoyed learning a lot not only about making pasta but also about it's history and what to look out for when buying pasta in the supermarket. Overall a really great experience!
• 5/5 from Omar Heraki, attended Oct 2021: Silvana was great :) Very intimate and cozy setting; right in her kitchen! Silvana obviously knows what she is doing; while we were cooking pasta from scratch, she took us on history lesson about the origin of pasta and its different varieties. Loved the experience! Highly recommended.
• 5/5 from Evelyn Low, attended Aug 2019: Silvana was very sweet and lovely. The booking was made in conjunction with my friend's birthday and we ended up having a private class of our own! When we arrived, Silvana had already prepared the potatoes in advance of our gnocchi making session, which was very thoughtful of her. She was very patient as we were quite slow in pasta making. We also had a very informational session as she explained the history of pasta and her family's history relations with Pasta making. She also gave us very practical advice in choosing good quality pasta from stores. We also learnt how to make pesto sauce from scratch and it was the best authentic pesto sauce I've ever had. Thoroughly enjoyed the session! Unfortunately she is moving away from the UK from summer next year. So do book any pasta making sessions with her quickly!! Thank you so much again Silvana, we had a great time!!
