My friend Kim wanted to do something different for her bday and sent the information for a cooking class to us! What a unique experience to do this for a friend's bday! Chef Leo was super fun and friendly, the space was clean and welcoming. The menu they have each time is different as well. We did a five course meal and was able to take home the recipes as well. Each station was properly manned and chef Leo did not assign people to it to give us all freedom to pick what we wanted to do. The equipment was great and we didn't have issues with the instructions. It's bring your own booze to drink and they have a fridge there as well that you can put your drinks in. It was a very chill and fun atmosphere and I would recommend this for anyone that's looking for a fun experience with a group of friends or even a date night. The food was plenty for the amount of people there and we even had some cool take our boxes for left overs which was so nice! I'd definitely come again and I've already shared this with other people! read more

Just left Chef Leo's Food Lab and we had so much fun! Highly recommend for a date night, a couple's evening out, girl's night out, team building or just because you want to experience something new. Chef Leo and his assistant were very nice and were always nearby if you had a question or needed help. EVERYTHING was delicious! And you get to take the recipes home. We did the Cooking with Bourbon class - a MUST. My husband and i plan on doing a Date Night class or the Seafood class. BYOB - that's a plus too. read more

What a fun experience! Totally worth the price and time! My favorite part was being able to sit family style, eat and share stories with strangers! An experience like this shows how nice random people can be! My girlfriend bought us two tickets to the pasta class and it did not disappoint! It was very interactive and everyone was able to participate! And the food was delicious! Definitely coming back! 10/10!! read more

Amazing cook and an amazing class! He was very thorough, very clear about instructions and was a very fun experience! Thank you Chef Leo!!!

Had a fun time making homemade pasta. Fun and delicious. Leo was very welcoming. If you are looking for a fun cooking class this is it. read more

Cindy and I had a great experience with Chef Leo today. The menu was Mediterranean tapas. Twelve people divided into 5 groups, and each group prepared one dish from start to finish. The food was delicious, and now we have the recipes for each dish. We also learned about some new kitchen gadgets we hadn't used before. Chef Leo moves among the groups with tips and suggestions. Everyone is encouraged to move around, socialize, and see what other groups are doing. Leo is knowledgeable, personable, smart, and fun. His assistant, Kelly, is also great, very helpful and friendly. This was a lot of fun, a good learning experience, and a very tasty affair overall. We will be going back again, intrigued by classes focused on bacon, others on bourbon, and all sorts of other diverse food ideas. read more

What a wonderful experience! I invited 12 friends "to dinner"; they had no idea they would be cooking their own meal! But what a pleasant surprise for us all. Planning: chef Leo was responsive and accommodating and I couldn't ask for better communication! Meal: many many options, I chose the "make your own pasta fettuccine" and added salmon and chicken as protein options Location/layout: perfect. In a very unassuming "strip mall" (between a restaurant and massage parlor) it was the perfect surprise with plenty of parking! Kitchen brightly lit and accommodated 13 with ease. Chef Leo was prepared for us, having measured out many things ahead of time, and prepping the chicken, but allowing plenty of work for us to do, to ensure we could say "we did make and cook our own meal" Plenty of room and opportunity for all of us to do something of significance: slicing and dicing, making the sauce from scratch and EVERYBODY got their hands "dirty" in the making of the pasta We were then all able to sit at the table and enjoy the meal together, seated and talking about the experience. ByOB if you like and even your own music to connect to the blue tooth speaker! I thoroughly enjoyed the experience: my first cooking class of this kind. Def will look to do similar more often. And HIGHLY recommend Chef Leo if you're in the area! And yes...the food was awesome! From the pasta to the salmon to the salad to the bruschetta! lol. Not much left over to take home, it was so good!! We started about 6:30, and were seated and eating by 8p ish? He almost had to "kick us out" at 9p as we found ourselves so comfortably eating and talking and just enjoying each others company (We were 13, visiting from out of town) Def book a class with Chef Leo...you won't regret it! read more

We had the best time last night at Chef Leo's! We signed up for this class as a Christmas gift for my mom, and it was such a great time that we now want to come back with our whole family. Leo provided really easy to follow instructions so this class is great for all levels, and the food was delicious! We signed up for The Bear themed night where we got to try recipes from one of our favorite shows. Everything turned out fantastic! We were so nervous at first thinking about cooking with people we didn't know (ours was a group of four and there were 10 total in the class), but right away Leo made the atmosphere so relaxed and casual and everyone was socializing together by the end. If you are looking for high pressure, Gordon Ramsay style cooking classes, this is not it. For a casual, relaxed, fun and social environment where you can learn to cook some fantastic dishes but with zero pressure to be perfect, please sign up for one of these classes! You even get the recipes after the class so we will definitely be making these again at home, and we'll be back soon to try some of the other classes. Thank you for a great night Chef Leo! read more

Chef Leo's Food Lab - Great teamwork for our delicious dinner - Cooking Classes Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

First, Leo is great. It's just not what I expected. You only get to "cook" at 1 of the 6 stations. And then so much is pre made you really aren't doing or learning much. It reminds me of fishing with my grandpa when I was little, and he would hand me the pole once he had a fish already hooked. Quaint, but not really fishing. I suppose it's a good date night, but you're not learning to cook anything . read more

We took our 14-year-old son and his friends to chef Leo's lab for his birthday and had so much fun! They are all inspired and want to cook more. My son wants to be a chef when he grows up so he was really into it and Chef Leo made it easy for everyone. read more

I would highly recommend this. The food so was delicious, and the entire experience was so fun. It's cooking without the hassle! Everything is portioned out for you and then cleaned up for you afterward, plus Chef Leo makes everything easy to understand. It's a great way to get out for the night, learn new skills, try new foods, and have fun! Not only will we be making these at home, but we will be back to try new recipes! Try Chef Leo's Food Lab for date night, time with your teens, a gift for your parents, or a staff party. read more

My boyfriend and I went last night for one of his "date night" cooking classes and it was so much fun! Leo is super nice and chill and made everyone feel at ease. I'm not at home with cooking but he explained things well and made it fun and simple. We are definitely coming back soon! read more

11 of us cooked a Southwestern meal under Chef Leo's direction. The experience was wonderful! He was super organized with recipes the necessary ingredients and utensils at each station for us to work with. He offers a choice of many different menus to choose from. This one included Sautéed Southwestern Corn with Crispy Bacon, Smokey Chorizo Queso Dip, Loaded Green Chile Chicken Soup, Spicy Beef Papas Rellenas with Chipotle Aioli, Sous Vide Carne Asada Skirt Steak. Fun and yummy. We will do this again' read more

So fun! We went here to celebrate our anniversary. The menu is varied, recipes are simple to follow, and everything is well organized. This is a casual environment where each pair works on a different recipe and you all get to share the food together at the end. Everything is pre-measured and Leo is there to help with any questions. There are many classes to choose from. This was super fun and a neat way to try something different. Great for birthdays, anniversaries, team building, bachelorette parties, and more! read more

Had a great time at Chef Leo's Food Lab! Different than any other cooking class I've taken before. A lot more laid back and approachable for different cooking levels. All ingredients and utensils were set up so we were able to jump right into cooking after some instructions from the chef. The other attendees were cool and it was nice to cook a big family style meal over some drinks (BYOB only) and chill music. I will be coming back with my mom and sister for a girls night! read more

My boyfriend and I attended a class yesterday with his coworkers and it was very fun. Cooking is usually not a relaxing experience for a novice like me but, like most other reviews, Chef Leo made cooking and entertaining and enjoyable experience. Chef Leo is welcoming, down to earth, and organized. The food was delicious and I liked that Chef Leo had the printed recipes for us to go home with. Having a "family style" meal after cooking was delightful with good company. I've already told family and friends about this fun experience and will be back for more. read more

My wife and I just took our first cooking class here--Mediterranean Tapas--and it was AMAZING!! Chef Leo had everything prepped when we got in, with everything thought out and help building the dishes. We had a really fun group (never met them before), loved the BYOB aspect, and the recipes and food turned out great!! Will 100% be back, and also going to bring my work team back for a Chopped-themed cooking competition. 10/10 recommend read more

Great fun. We did our team retreat here. All the food was delicious and fun to prepare. And Chef Leo is great.

Had a great time here last week with a group of friends cooking some delicious food! Leo is an artist and everything was so tasty and well paired! I was there for Mediterranean tapas night and we had so many good things to try including shrimp, scallops, steak, caprese, crab cakes, etc. I love how there were step-by-step instructions for each "station" and everything you needed was within arm's reach. Leo was also available to help and guide throughout. I liked that it was a very laid back vibe and you couldn't really "mess up" because Leo was so great about being there when we had questions. It was super awesome that we could bring our own drinks too!! Highly recommend this experience with or without a group! I'll definitely be going back! read more
