Reviews for Fresh Pasta Making Class and Dinner, Jersey Shore NJ

We had an incredible four course birthday celebration and the chefs were wonderful, lovely to be around and the food they prepared was absolutely delicious!! Highly recommend for any occasion. Very impressive and delightful

Chef Matt's crew was amazing. They did a private event at our home. The two chef's were there at least 7 hours preparing, serving, and cleaning up. The food was fantastic. Thanks, Chef Matt!

We hired Chef Matt for a bachelor party dinner of 10. Our goal was to catch our meal (from fishing earlier in the day), but we came up empty handed. Not a problem as Chef Matt had a fish monger on hand that could get us the same fish we were trying to catch. We had some picky eaters (don't eat seafood) and he was still able to cook up something special for them without a problem. The meal was excellent (the guys are still talking about it a few days later). In particular the salad (go figure) and the desert (which was phenomenal). Although everything was great (my favorite was the crusted oysters). He have us a rundown of each dish and sat around and chatted with us for awhile as well. From ordering and getting all of the food, the last minute fish needs, and cleaning up everything (plus leaving us the leftover supplies) it was a great experience and I couldn't have asked for more out of it. Highly recommend Chef Matt and his crew to handle your needs.

Chef Matt brought a restaurant-quality experience right into our home. The flavors were outstanding, portions generous, and the attention to detail incredible. What really stood out was how relaxed he made us feel — we didn’t lift a finger and just enjoyed being with our guests. An unforgettable night!

I celebrated my mother’s 60th birthday this past weekend with a private dinner experience provided by Chef Matt and Jasaiyas. It was truly one of the most memorable experiences I have had, and I highly recommend their services. Chef Matt was recommended to me by a close friend who spoke highly of a private dinner experience they had with him earlier this year. I contacted him directly through his website, which is very informative and user-friendly. He responded promptly within a few hours. I outlined my requirements, including travel arrangements to an Airbnb and multiple food allergies. Chef Matt accommodated all of these requests and exceeded expectations. His communication was clear and consistent throughout the process. Chef Matt and Jasaiyas personally prepared each dish from scratch. I can’t speak highly enough of this experience, and I will certainly use their services again in the future. Thank you, Chef Matt, for making my mother’s birthday truly special and memorable.

We had the absolute pleasure of having Jasaiya as our personal chef today and she was incredible! From start to finish, she brought such warmth, professionalism, and creativity to the entire experience. Every dish she prepared was not only beautifully presented but also absolutely delicious—flavorful, fresh, and perfectly balanced. Beyond the food, Jasaiya’s energy and attention to detail made the whole day feel special. She made us feel completely taken care of and created such an enjoyable, memorable dining experience. If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond, Jasaiya is the chef you need. Highly, highly recommend!

We hired Chef Matt for our Mom’s birthday dinner. It was the best experience hands down. From start to finish the entire experience was flawless. I would recommend to anyone looking to have a 5 star meal in their own home to hire Cheff Matt!

We had a dinner with Chef Matt for 15 people. He was easy to work with and his food was delicious. I would recommend him for any gathering. He listens to your wants and lets you enjoy your own party. Crab cakes and dates are a must.

Amazing dinner for ten by Chef Matt in our LBI home. we loved every bite of the meal he prepared for my husband's 60th birthday. there were constant comments from my family "this is the best _____ I ever had!" from the ceaser salad all the way to the carrot cake, and everything in between. he was great with communication also. highly recommend!!

We recently had the pleasure of hiring Chef Matt for a special family gathering to celebrate my 70th birthday with my children and grandchildren . The experience exceeded every expectation from start to finish . Chef Matt demonstrated professionalism, guiding us through the selection of menu items , preparing the meal , introducing and describing each course and answering our questions . The menu featured a variety of seafood dishes , each one more delicious than the last . Highlights included perfectly seared sea scallops , sesame encrusted seared tuna , crispy bang bang shrimp and a melt in your mouth lemon risotto . Most importantly , this evening allowed our family to relax and enjoy each other's company without worrying about the meal. I cannot say enough about Chef Matt's attention to every detail and talent. This was a birthday celebration I shall never forget. It was exactly everything I had hoped it would be and then some .

Chef Matt is incredible! We hired him to put together a lobster bake dinner for our parents to celebrate their anniversary while on vacation in Avalon, NJ. Prior to the event, he was easy to communicate with via phone and email. On the day of the dinner, he arrived at the house hours early to unpack, prep, and get settled in the kitchen. He brought with him all the food, supplies, and cooking tools needed. The only thing we had to supply was dishes and utensils! Chef Matt proceeded to put together a 4-course feast! We started with creamy homemade arancini with marinara. Our next course was a delicious wedge salad with homemade blue cheese dressing. The third course really blew us away! Chef Matt rolled out butcher paper on the table and poured out potatoes, corn on the cob, sausage, shrimp, clams, and whole lobsters. Everything was cooked perfectly and it was more than we ever expected! To finish the meal, we ended with a homemade flourless chocolate cake with whipped cream and raspberries. Chef Matt cleaned up the entire kitchen and honestly left it better than when he came. He was very professional and made us feel like the most special people that evening. Thank you so much Chef Matt!
