Mattarello Cooking Lab

This has been my favorite part of San Diego! The Asparagus Sausage fettuccine was divine and all the flavors blended really well. The Mascarpone & Crudo was equally delicious! The crispy prosciutto bits went amazing on top of the ravioli! We signed up for a cooking class so we got to eat the pasta we made. It was such an amazing experience!

Ok, let me start by saying all the wonderful things about this place! The food that I've had in the past is awesome. And recently we took a class to learn how to make pasta and it was awesome! Also, there used to be a coffee shop here named Filter and that's where my husband and I met 🥰 however, today the 10th of November 2023 my husband and I came in to sit down and eat. We were turned away because there was a large reservation. Totally understand that that happens. What is annoying is there is not sign that says that anywhere online that I've seen. So I don't have anything to bad to say but that. We will be coming back most likely this following Wednesday but I refuse to call ahead since it isn't written anywhere. If it is written down here online somewhere I'll do it. So I'll come back with my husband and hopefully all is good. I might come back to make a follow up review afterwards So my recent visit (11/26/23)with my husband we finally sat down for dinner. AMAZING. I had the pesto lasagna and my husband had the spinach and ricotta ravioli. So so perfect!

I have had a lot of Italian food but this was some of the best. Take the cooking class and enjoy the fruits of your fun labor! I will definitely be coming back. Great for a date night or just a fun evening activity! Most cooking classes everyone eats the same thing. This is not most cooking classes, everyone gets to make their own pasta and have their own flavors!

The place is extremely charming. The food is not my cup of tea, very fancy and not much of the dishes, but tasty. The service was stellar. Our server was very attentive and nice. The restaurant doesn’t has a liquor license but they will let you bring your own booze, and lucky enough there’s a liquor store right next to it. I had a great time and would comeback for a class.

Pasta making class was so much fun. We enjoyed chatting with our instructor and other people that attended the class as well. We learned a lot about pasta and also about one another. Once we finished making the pasta, they started cooking them and served us a three-course meal. Starting with the appetizer bread with ham, cheese, and green paste was tasty. The bread was warm and soft, and I enjoyed it a lot. The second course was our pasta. They came out in a hard texture, as the chef recommends. My partner liked it; I preferred soft texture. It’d be nice to have texture options for future guests. The carbonara was flavourful, and we recommend that. Spinach and Ricotta was just okay. The final course was dessert, and they were sweet and yummy. One thing that bothered me was the toilet. Maybe because the flushing isn’t good, I kept seeing other people’s stuff every time I enter. When you need to flush it, it takes 2-3 times to fully flush it through. Despite that, a little cleaner overall would be more pleasant.
