    Aunt Jake's Pasta Class: Expectations vs Reality 🍝😅
    Don’t come for me Aunt Jake’s lovers. I think the concept was super cute right—pasta class w/dinner with an affordable price — it was just a little too good to be true. I can see why this would be a great friends or date night too but it’s a no for me. There were at least 15 people taking the class in the middle of the restaurant. What I feel like no one mentions is that other people (from earlier classes or just restaurant goers) are literally seated around us. My friend across from me kept getting bumped by the waiters cuz there really wasn’t any space. It was giving lunchroom vibes. This experience would’ve been so much better if they give people at least 2 hours in between classes. The one hour pasta making class was great but I also was right next to the instructor so I heard everything as he spoke and showed it. The people down the table couldn’t hear him for a fact and he had to go to the other side to tell him what to do since he didn’t do the demonstration twice. My last gripe with this experience was that they give us a dough ball to take home. This sounds great right you can take it home and make more pasta—wrong. I don’t know about y’all but I don’t have a pasta machine. Some people don’t even own rolling pins 🤣 I also could not get the dough ball flat enough like a sheet of pasta, so I couldn’t make the shapes I was shown. P.S my friends and I didn’t think the food had enough seasoning 🤧

    @Stephy It’s the review everyone needs because literally no one mentions how crowded it was which totally messes up the experience!

    Thank you I was thinking of doing this with my 10 year old. It would have been a disaster. He would have been over stimulated from the amount of people in the restaurant and the close proximity to the restaurant goers. Thank you

    Whattttt they just gave you the dough ball to take home?! 😭 I would be annoyed. They made us create a couple of shapes with all of our dough and we took it in a to-go container. And I know exactly what you mean by the instructor part I was in the middle and I peeped the comments 🥴

    @Adri Yesss I was like huhhh?? I wished we could’ve at least gotten it flatten into a sheet of dough, which I totally could’ve done more with.

    Lmfaoooooo I love the honesty. This was hilarious but very well put and respectful. These are things I look for in feedback and reviews. This was very much appreciated. The dough ball at the end no rolling pin or pasta machine is diabolically tickling to me. I def don’t have either and perhaps I should have a rolling pin. 🤔🤣😭 I’d go just to relive this review. 😆🤌🏾😂 POV- It may also depended on time and day of the class it was so busy. We shall see. 😏 thank you
