Reviews for Handmade Pasta by Yvonne in Pittsburgh, PA
We had a blast with Yvonne and June! There were 4 of us for the pasta making class and it was honestly one of the best double... date nights we've ever had. We're all foodies so Yvonne really fed our hearts. We were absolutely stuffed and loaded withleftovers leaving and Nona raised a good eater. Mangia ! Between the pasta and some of the app dishes it really took me rightback to sitting with Nona peeling boiled tomatoes or being sent out into the garden to pick basil. As an impatient kid I watchedthe pasta making but never really got to make it. Usually Nona would be threatening me with a sculacciata (spanking with awooden spoon) my cue to run back outside. What a rewarding night. Now, I feel like I may have the skill to make a specialpasta dinner! Many thanks to Yvonne and June, hope to visit again soon! Read more
Great place. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. The pasta is made with specific instructions on how to prepare it at home. A... very great place to buy delicious authentic handmade pasta. Read more
My family and I experienced a delightful, educational, delicious Italian pasta making dining which was non stop food fun. Yvonne... and her husband Jim are the best, warm, generous and full of gracious humor. The pasta cannot be beat. We recommend thateveryone stop in and purchase a bag of the hand made pasta where you will meet two of the most joyful people you have ever met. Read more
Had a really nice time. Yvonne and her husband were very friendly and informative. Highly recommend!
We finally were able to take the advanced pasta making class. Yvonne never disappoints. We loved every minute. First we created... the dough. Then we rapped it and let it sit. That?s when the fun began. Yvonne made all kinds of delicious appetizers (look atthe pics to see what I mean you?ll be drooling). Everyone got their own individual antipasto platter that had traditional andunique delicacies. She also made regional delicacies from all parts of Italy. We loved every bite. She let us share theleftovers and take them home. It?s BYOB so you can do that and enjoy some prosecco and lemoncello she provides at the end. Forthis class, you use her kitchenaid machines and extensions to make the pasta dough extend. She also had a little form to makethe ravioli or little cutouts to do it free form in a little shapes. I love the hearts. Then she cooks up your pasta for you totry it in one of her olive oils or sage butter she made. Absolutely delicious! We ended the night with dessert. Everything wasdelicious. Tuesday is my husband?s birthday (I mentioned it in passing when booking) and she got him a balloon and cupcake tocelebrate. Yvonne is a wonderful, generous person and super talented. If you?re looking for a fun night out, call Yvonne andschedule the basic and advanced pasta making class. You get a lot for your money and will love every minute. Read more
We did the basic pasta making class after trying multiple varieties of Yvonne's pasta (chive is my favorite). They were so... welcoming, the class was thorough and hands on, we had probably 10 diff erent appetizers while the pasta was resting, we broughtwine and she served prosecco, then we hand cut and and used machines to cut, each of us tried our creations side by side andfinally the night ended with homemade gelato, other desserts, espresso and limoncello....all while sharing anything you everwondered about pasta and pasta making..... Grazie Yvonne & Jim! We even left with a handful of our own pasta as well as oil andvinegar from the olive tap. Read more
So super tasty! I am so glad she opened in this location, totally worth leaving work early for and many flavors and specialties... you wont find elsewhere for this quality and value. No longer need to hit Bloomfield for your gourmet olive oil fix either,another reason giant eagle needs to take a few lessons from an artisan like Yvonne. Read more
Do this with your friends and family! Amazing lady and her sister making amazing Italian dishes! Can recommend enough.
