      Fantastico Cooking Class in Bologna
      Paola was a wonderful host and teacher of Italian cooking! She was very informative and shared little hints about how to make traditional pasta and tiramisu.

      When in Bologna, cook with Rosa
      Rosa was a wonderful teacher, gracious host, and absolute joy. My wife and I very much enjoyed the cooking class, and we would definitely do this experience again.

      A must if you love cooking and pasta
      The pasta class may have been the best part of my visit to Bologna. Our host and teacher was amazing, very patient and encouraging. We felt right at home! We had never made fresh pasta before and I felt like we learned a lot

      Magnificent Maurizio
      Our experience with Il Cesarino Maurizio was second to none. We can not rate Maurizio's hospitality, knowledge and authenticity high enough. As a very amateur cook I learnt so much through our day in the kitchen, tips and tricks I will remember for a lifetime. Maurizio is authentic and warm and was a pleasure to spend the day with. Lunch on a sunny terrace joined by Marco and Dante of course, an exceptional day we will never forget.

      Home kitchen pasta making
      The evening we spent at our Cesarine’s (Roberta’s) home kitchen was wonderful. Roberta was warm and welcoming. Her kitchen was amazing. We enjoyed the appetizers and wine. The pasta lesson was a fun experience and produced the most tender and flavorful pasta dishes. It was a night full of conversation and food. The best part about it was the home environment. Highly recommend! Can’t wait to get the recipes from Roberta.

      A cooking experience we will never forget!
      This was a wonderful experience! Hands-on in the comfort of Margherita's home. Margherita was a charming and knowledgable teacher. We learned to make two kinds of delicious pasta as well as tiramisu. What a fun day! We came home and practiced what we had learned and impressed all of our friends. Highly recommend!

      Great private pasta cooking class in Bologna
      I have booked a private cooking class for (a part of) my family. Cristina's class was great. It was heartwarming how much dedication she showed and she infected us with her passion for Italian pasta and food in general like tasting cheese with 25 year old Balsamico! Although I came with some experience she provided more techniques and hints how to optimize the pasta dishes. We also made a starter and a desert which were delicious but the Pasta-making is what I will remember most. It was a lovely family experience which also included her very kind husband! If I could I would rate her six stars!

      Must do for food lovers!
      The highlight of our time in Bologna! Roberta is a passionate and thoughtful chef, who took her time to tech us. It was incredible to be invited into her beautiful home. It felt like a combination of a cooking class and having a private chef cook your dinner with the extra care she took - and the amazing wine!

      Our favourite part of Bologna
      The highlight of our trip to Bologna! Roberta was amazing, and made us feel so welcome in her home. We had so much fun, and loved the experience. Was not only a great way to learn to make pasta (and tiramisu), but also a delicious dinner with amazing wine!

      The best cooking class
      I had a great cooking class together with Cesarina Paola. We made some very delicious food together, which I look forward to recreate at home. It was a wonderful evening and I had a really great time.

      Excellent experience
      This was exactly what I was looking for in a cooking class. Roberta invited my wife and I into her home and she was an excellent host. The lesson was fun and exciting and we both walked away knowing how to replicate a few traditional Italian meals.

      Tour of local market and 3-course lunch
      We were on a tight schedule in Bologna, and were happy to find this cooking class geared towards making a visit to a local market and learning to prepare a homemade 3-course lunch. Although there was a bit of confusion initially on the meeting location (the Viator app indicated the meeting point to be near the Neptune Fountain in the city center, while one of the e-mails listed the address of the instructor's home), we were able to connect with the instructor to begin the tour. We were introduced to the Mercato Delle Erbe, where we picked up ingredients for our lunch. Some of the shops were closed due to merchants being on holiday during the month of August. However, we found some tomatoes, peaches, local squacquerone cheese, mortadella, guanciale, and fresh piadina wraps. We also stopped by a local bakery (Valentini), where we were introduced to some ravioli shaped shortbread-like cookies. Our instructor Maurizio was such a friendly host, and welcomed us into his beautiful home. We first enjoyed a quick piadina snack (local sandwich). We then enjoyed making our bruschetta appetizer. Maurizio taught us how to make homemade tagliatelle in a tomato based sauce. We finished the meal with a delicious peach cake. It's an experience we will always treasure from our travels there. Thank you for the wonderful lesson!

      Mamma mia, what a night!!! The real Italian food!
      My wife and I had an amazing experience. Annamaria and Francesco are the best hosts. We had a lot of fun, and even more so we had a perfect time together. From the warm reception to the dinner time, everything was super nice. We absolutely recommend this experience with Annamaria. They are 10 stars, not five! :)

      Absolutely superb
      We booked a small group pasta making experience for our trip to Bologna via TripAdvisor/Viator and, once booked, you complete a questionnaire with your preferences and location of your holiday accommodation then you are matched to a suitable ‘cesarine’ host. We had a morning class with Roberta and it was just myself and my partner. It was AMAZING! We’ve done a chocolate making class in Belgium (which we also thoroughly enjoyed), but the pasta class with Roberta was even more superior. Communication beforehand was excellent. Roberta messaged us to confirm her address and check which pastas we wanted to make. Upon arrival, we were treated to a home cooked light meal with local foods and a choice of local wines. Tip - go hungry!! Then we made tiramisu and, whilst that set in the fridge, we made 2 types of pasta, making the dough from scratch. We made tortellini and tagliatelle. Then Roberta made 2 amazing homemade sauces for each type of pasta and we ate them both then eating the finished tiramisu. Roberta was a wonderful host - friendly, informative and helpfully making sure we got the cooking techniques right. Thoroughly recommend this experience when in Bologna.
