Class itself was great, Denis is awesomely instructor and it was easy to follow.
Only downside was the actual place where class was held, since AC was not working, making the whole experience less enjoyable.

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the cannoli class. Denis was friendly and explained the history of cannolis and the how-to of putting them together very well.
He was also working in a loud and very warm area at the hotel. He handled all with grace and professionalism.
