What an amazing night at Old City Kitchen! We booked the Thai Night class and had an absolutely great night. We were greeted by Chef Taylor and Justin, who immediately made us feel welcomed. The class was small, only 6 of us! We learned basic kitchen knife techniques and how to make the most amazing Thai food from start to finish! We will definitely book another class. We'll worth it. read more

Pierogi Paradise...learn the dough and the fillings and some fun learning the best techniques from Chef Justin.

Server was an absolute gem. Helped guide us to order authentic Philly cheesesteaks and curated our dining for the most up to date local options. The food was exactly as she predicted it would be: get the onions, add the ketchup. Locals and tourists alike sat in pleasant, clean air conditioned comfort in their old style Italian pizzeria environment. Would go back. read more

So funny and interesting! Chef Jeremy (green beard) so knowledgeable about food. So interesting to learn from and the knife collection! Would HIGHLY recommend if you are looking for hands on food prep, comedy show, and fantastic food! Small place but lots of fun!! read more

My fiancé and I have enjoyed well over ten classes at Old City. The staff is 24 carat gold, the Chef instructors are second to none and throughly enjoy their time with guest participants. The lady that owns this operation, Laura, is a very effective hands on owner who truly cares about the enjoyment of her customers. Chef Greenbeard, Chef Michael, Taylor and Ruth Ann are tremendous. This operation is a very well kept secret...sign up now and enjoy! read more

How fun! We came as a company event and had such a blast. Chef Ed was great, letting us get our hands dirty while doing most of the cooking. The wine was flowing, the food kept coming. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and would recommend to anyone! read more

Everyone there seemed to be on a date but this was just as much fun w a friend. Will definitely be back !!! read more

Can't rave about Ed's Pasta 101 Class enough! This is a great intro to pasta making course that goes through many different pasta shapes (2 doughs) and 3 different sauces. It is interactive in forming making the pasta shapes while Ed does the cooking. He's super friendly and knowledgeable, giving tips, tricks, stories, and philly recs. Wine is offered throughout the class with both antipasto and focaccia (see pictures). Pro tip: save ur focaccia for ur extra sauce (if you can)! read more

We had heard that Old City Kitchen had opened and naturally, being that it's so close, we kept an eye on when it would open and what they would offer. We couldn't resist the Pasta 101 class, so signed up and have been anticipating the class for several weeks now. What a good time the three hour period was. Chef Ed was super engaging and allowed for plenty of time for us to ask questions. The class started with him explaining what we would be doing and discussing the ingredients while we got to snack on our small bites (all of which was quite tasty; loved the bread, in particular). We then proceeded to make three different types of pasta and three different sauces. As someone who loves and has tried making cacio e pepe pasta before (and failed miserably), I was particularly excited to learn more about this and the proper technique to make it edible. I definitely think my next attempt will be more successful due to what we learned today. The simple Alfredo and quick tomato sauce were both quite tasty, too. We also got to learn more of the technique around making fresh pasta - the right texture and feel really. The hands on nature of this and ability to ask questions really helps. We have done other online cooking classes and read countless books, but never felt like we were getting it right. Today was truly helpful. We loved the mix of hands on/hands off, too. Each group got to play a part in contributing to the meals success. Laura and her assistant kept us all hydrated along the way as well, and couldn't have been any more accommodating as well. We will definitely be back for more of these. It was such a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon. They do private parties and events as well. I would highly recommend taking a look at what they offer if you want to do something like this. read more

It's solely a cooking school - no food service. Otherwise, no need to waste time since you will not be served food.

I first stumbled upon Old City Kitchen last year when they were doing an empanada pop-up and was very impressed by the delicious food and the very friendly and personable owner and chef that my friend and I met there. Since then, I had my eye on their cooking class offerings and finally made it to a class yesterday. The class was an Indian Vegetarian cooking class taught by chef Chetna, whose passion really came through in the demo. The class was a mix of more traditional dishes and the chef's unique creations and everything was absolutely delicious (I am still delightfully full upon waking up)! The owner, Laura, is such a lovely and kind person who has clearly put her heart into this business, and makes everyone feel so welcome in the space (and keeps everyone's wine glasses full!). I decided to go by myself and was a bit nervous to be in a room full of strangers, but it didn't feel that way at all in her and the chef's presence. I was raving about the experience to my husband and we are already planning to come back for a pasta class in the future. Highly recommend these classes whether you want something to do by yourself or with someone else! read more

My daughter recently went to a pasta making class there and had an amazing time and learned a lot. The staff was so incredibly accommodating and genuine, and she is so excited about attending more classes there. read more

We had a fantastic time at Chef Greenbeard's first ever Knife Skills Class. He was very knowledgeable and shared lots of information about knives & cuts, along with a display of about 15 of his own knives and a hands on portion of the class before making us a couple of delicious dishes to taste. We learned a lot while having a lot of fun. Highly recommend!! read more

Really cozy vibe, friendly staff, great food. It's obvious the staff are treated well and happy to be there. The food is amazing.

Took a few friends to Chef Ed's four sauces of roma class and had a great time. He was so engaging and fun to be around, and made it just seem like a dinner with friends while learning a few tips. Highly recommend! As for the negative reviews below, that is just one chef (my understanding is that Old City Kitchen works with many different ones). read more

I had my team building event for work here and it was a blast. A professional pasta chef made a meal with us. I'm new to making pasta so mine looked a little funny but tasted great. I really had a good time. read more

This was SUCH a fun experience and I highly recommend. I chose Old City Kitchen's Pasta Making 101 class for a special birthday gathering with a group of friends after doing a lot of research on the options in Philly. This emerged as the best experience and value and I agree! Chef Ed gave a great class on making pasta and sauces, and they were all delicious. Laura was super-helpful in planning this class, and so easy to communicate with, as was her assistant. Glasses were kept filled with wine and other non-alcoholic beverages throughout the class, so this works for all ages and drinking preferences. Most importantly - people loved it and thought it was fun, festive and memorable!! read more

This was such an amazing experience! We came for the pasta making class and Chef Edward was incredible. Not only did we learn how to make pasta, but everything was delicious tasting. Laura made sure our glasses were filled with delicious wine and made everything welcoming and enjoyable. I will definitely be back! read more

My husband and I always have a great dinner with Chef Michelle's pop up kitchen and her Venezuelan empanadas. We've tasted a variety of flavors including three cheeses, pulled beef, and ground beef, not to mention her homemade lemonades (blueberry lavender, strawberry, raspberry, and brown sugar black tea)! Chef Michelle comes to work at 7am to start her cooking so that by dinner time the meat's texture is soft and savory. You can really taste the love that goes into her cooking. Definitely come here for a filling dinner at reasonable prices! read more

Came here for a pasta cooking class. Ed the chef is fantastic and the food was amazing. We got to help make the pasta while Ed handled some of the more complicated and time consuming sauces and such. Would absolutely go back for another one his classes there! read more

My wife and I are always looking for interesting things to do. A cooking class with a chef is right up our alley. We had some good food, some good lessons learned and most of all a lot of great laughs. If you're looking for a great night out on the town in Old City, this is the perfect thing to do. Enjoy! read more

I work in CA but my team was in PA for a meeting, which is always challenging. I was lucky to come across Laura and Old City Kitchen. She was most wonderful to work with and helped me put together a great team building cooking event for my team of 21. She created a Mexican Fiesta night. They made Ceviche, Tacos, Salsa to take home, Salads fresh juice for Margaritas and they had a blast. I highly recommend Laura and her team of chefs. read more
