If you didn't know, Sette Pasta House offers cooking classes. Unfortunately, they'll be on hold for a short while Chef Paul serves in the Reserves, but they're definitely worth checking out when they resume. Today I attended the lasagna class that I reserved back in December. Seating is limited, so you'll want to keep an eye on the website (and please don't take my spot, ). The class was held in the restaurant and was completely hands-on, comma, which I prefer. I don't wanna just watch someone online, dash, I wanna actually be part of the process and make the food for myself. For this class, the pasta dough was already prepared for us since making it from scratch would take too long, but we each rolled out our own pasta sheets and got them as thin as we wanted. Hand crank machine too. Fun. I've always wanted to do this. We made the bolognese sauce you see in the photos, while the pomodoro sauce had been prepared ahead of time. There were 12 of us total, paired into teams of 2, and everyone worked really well together. It was such a fun and lovely experience. We layered our lasagnas, sauce, pasta sheet, cheese, repeat. Properly done, easily three beautiful layers. I should have oiled the foil on top. Still delicious. Once they were in the oven baking, we all sat down together for salads and great conversation. We could also watch the chefs as they worked, which made the whole experience even better. It was a wonderful day and fantastic class. When our individual lasagnas came out of the oven, they were hot, golden brown, and absolutely beautiful. We were given boxes to take home whatever we didn't eat, and honestly, each lasagna is easily enough for two, maybe even three people. They do provide cardboard boxes, but I'd recommend bringing your own plastic container if you want something sturdier for leftovers. ** Their black plastic fold-over containers leak. I like clear lid snap. I'm home now and still enjoying the experience. While I was there, I also ordered to go their focaccia flight and a side of meatballs. So tonight I'm having that with a small salad and reliving what was such a wonderful, fun class. If you didn't know about the cooking classes before, now you do. And I'd also recommend checking out Sete Pasta House for dinner sometime.

Chicken Marsala and fettuccine Alfredo made in the cooking class at Sette House

Thanks to Paul and Sette House for a fantastic cooking class. We made chicken Marsala and fettuccine Alfredo. The class started with a mimosa and then Paul guided us through every step of the process including making our own noodles. I was seriously impressed with the results which we then sat down together and ate. These classes sellout right away (I was lucky to get a last minute cancellation). Thanks to Paul for offering cooking classes. FYI, Sette House has my favorite sandwich ever (lunch only)...the salmon PLT (with pancetta, lettuce and tomato). So good!

My husband signed us up for this class and we thought it would be a fun and new experience. We were welcomed by Chef Paul with some champagne while we waited for everyone else to arrive. We enjoyed the variety of dishes we could create by using the sous vide method in cooking. We created Nicoise salad, Cabernet pan sauce for the prepped sous vided filet mignon. The sous vide egg bites were so flavorful and such a simple concept to make ahead of time. We really enjoyed cooking with everyone in the room. There were five other people along side the bar at a cooking station prepped thoughtfully for each guest. The wine tasting was the best part! We will definitely dine in Sette and book this again. It was really fun and for a Sunday afternoon brunch you didn't have to wait hours in line for. We enjoyed our experience!

What an unforgettable experience at Sette! The owner himself led us through a fun, engaging, and incredibly informative cooking class where we made fresh pasta and Chicken Marsala - both of which turned out absolutely delicious. The class struck the perfect balance: approachable enough for beginners yet creative and inspiring for seasoned home cooks. It was equal parts learning, laughing, and eating well. I couldn't recommend it more for a date night, a group of friends, or anyone looking to do something a little different and truly memorable.

We hosted a Sette Pasta class in our home, and it was such an amazing experience! The class was fun, informative, and incredibly comfortable being in our own space. We learned so much, and Chef Paul was clear, patient, and helpful with each group every step of the way. And the food, absolutely delicious. Everything was so fresh! We made pasta with a rich, flavorful bolognese sauce and perfectly crispy arancini balls. Highly recommend booking Chef Paul and his team. It's not just a dinner, it's a memorable, hands-on experience that you'll be talking about long after the plates are cleared. Gina G.

Scheduled a private cooking class with Chef Paul! 14 of my friends and I learned how to make lasagna. We all had a blast and it came out delicious! Thank you so much for accommodating such a large group! I would definitely book again!

We've had a wonderful experience with Knowledge Beginnings since our daughter started there at just…read more5 months old. The teachers are truly amazing--we can tell they genuinely care for our little one and it gives us such peace of mind knowing she's in loving, capable hands. The communication is excellent, both in person and through the app. We especially love receiving pictures and updates throughout the day--it's such a joy to see her smiling, learning, and having fun! We feel completely confident that our daughter is not only well cared for but also loved and supported while she's at school. We're so grateful to the entire team at Knowledge Beginnings

My experience at this childcare facility left me feeling uncomfortable and ultimately led me to…read morewithdraw my children due to concerns about organization, communication, and safety. From the beginning, I felt rushed into bringing my children without being properly prepared. I was not clearly informed about what items I needed to provide for my children, the billing policy, or the exact amount I would owe. I asked multiple times for written confirmation of my monthly payment amount, but I never received anything by email. I was only given verbal estimates, which created confusion and uncertainty. One of my biggest concerns happened when my daughter was bitten by another child in her classroom. I understand that incidents can happen in childcare settings, and I do not blame the facility simply because a child bit another child. However, what made me extremely uncomfortable was the handling of the situation. The teacher stated in front of the director that she had already sent me an incident report, which was not true. I also never received a phone call regarding the injury. When I saw my daughter's injury, it was more severe than I had expected. The lack of communication and the fact that I felt I was given inaccurate information damaged my trust. After speaking with the director, we agreed to move my daughter to another classroom. Unfortunately, when my daughter returned after being absent for several days, nobody appeared to have prepared for her transition. Her belongings had not been moved, and no one was available to guide me to her new classroom. After waiting for quite some time, another staff member eventually assisted me, though she did not seem pleased to do so. Once I entered the classroom, it was clear the teacher seemed surprised and unprepared for my daughter's arrival. As a parent, that was concerning because transitioning a child into a new environment should feel organized and welcoming. I was also later emailed that I would be charged a late fee despite still not having clear information regarding the exact amount I owed or the due dates. In the end, my daughter was paid for the month but only attended a handful of times because I no longer felt comfortable with the overall environment. The disorganization, communication issues, and concerns regarding cleanliness made me feel that this was not the right place for my children.
