Attended an event here recently and was very cool. Total hands on experience, involved in all parts of the meal prep, learned a lot and will definately use what I learned at home

I had a fun night making street tacos, and salads. I have never made them before and I enjoyed every minute of it. It definitely was an adult night and we were a dozen or so people, and that was enough. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Our hostess and owner was there and other chefs to help us out. It was great. We even got copies of the recipes when we left.

Celebrated a friend's 50th birthday here last minute after our outdoor plans were rained out. They saved the day with a delicious meal and wonderful staff for a group of 18! Not to mention they accommodated a dietary restriction that we didn't know about until we were almost finished cooking the whole meal. Thank you Jo Marie! And Mike and Connie! You guys were the best!

I can’t say enough good things about Ridgewood Culinary Studio! I didn’t know what to expect when our plans for a 50th birthday party suddenly pivoted from an outdoor activity to a cooking class, but I’m 100% happy that this is where we celebrated! They were able to accommodate our large group within 24 hours of requesting a class! The food was amazing and the staff was wonderful! Highly recommend for your next event!

We had a 50th birthday planned for months that involved outdoor activities. We realized around Wed of this past week that the rain was going to put an end to that plan. I called Jo Marie on Thursday, and (thankfully!)she was able to accommodate our group of 18. Jo Marie, Mike, and Connie were all terrific. The food we cooked was delicious. Best of all, the birthday girl had a great time.

I went to Ridgewood Culinary Studio with friends. It was great. The chef, JoMarie, was so patient with a large party (15 of us) and bounced back and forth from person to person with ease as she gave cooking instructions. At the end, my friends and I enjoyed our dinner and even learned some valuable kitchen tips. Highly recommend Ridgewood Culinary for a fun night!

I recently attended an Adult cooking class and enjoyed the learning experience as well as the involvement from the entire staff and group that attended. The culinary instructor is by far knowledgeable in selecting the right amount of food for the evening and how to prep for the meal and how to use the correct tools in your kitchen.I recommend Ridgewwod Culinary Studio to anyone that is interested in learning a few tips and looking to have fun at the same time,

I had so much fun when I took a class with friends here. Great instruction, delicious food, and I actually learned something...and I don't cook much. I will definitely take another class at the studio.

I had a great time here tonight. My son and I took the Artisan Pizza making class for a mother/son night out and had a blast! We learned a lot of tips that we will bring home with us, and the pizzas we made were delicious. The space is intimate. There were about 10 of us there which felt like the right number - any more and it would have been too crowded. Such a great night out - would be awesome for a girlfriends night out or a date night, too!

The knives were horribly dull and you don’t get to do much cooking

I had an adult party here and we selected the Asian Fusion menu. We had a good time and the chefs, Mike and Connie, were helpful and kind. The kitchen was set up and ready to go for our time. I do think the overall space was small so I wouldn’t recommend a party larger than 12-14 adults. I do think the knives could have been sharpened as well. All in all things were great.

This is a HORRIBLE culinary school. They did NOT teach any recipes. When students asked for measurements the teacher said "they are Italians and Italians don't measure while cooking". No recipe print outs given to any students in spite of requesting multiple times. Teacher named Elisha is DOWNRIGHT RUDE and unprofessional. Complete waste of time money and energy.NOT RECOMENDED AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had my daughters birthday party here last Friday and extremely similar to the other birthday party reviewer. The ideas for the party themes seem great but the execution by the staff leaves alot to be desired. Also considering it's a culinary school there was zero creativity encouraged when decorating the cupcakes, one frosting and one color, each child received one cupcake, all one flavor. I expected a variety of flavors and icings and some different toppings than just plain sprinkles. Then each girl made their own pizza but with hardly any instruction or help and literally the tiniest cube of cheese. We as the party parents weren't even offered a pizza or a cupcake, had I known that I would've brought my own food and cake in addition to what the girls got to make. Also the in between activities was painful as I was left to watch and control all of the 11 party guests I had since the staff were hiding in the kitchen and would only interact when I asked them to do something. Then it's drop off only so of course parents ran late getting back and I was forced to wait outside in the car with those girls. There's plenty of room so I'm unsure of why this was enforced so tightly.
