- Absolutely unforgettable! Our evening with Rosa was the perfect way to celebrate 10 years of marriage. From the moment we arrived, Rosa welcomed us like family. We kicked things off with a glass of champagne and a delicious appetizer, and before we knew it, we were elbow-deep in fresh pasta dough, laughing and learning together. Rosa’s warmth, knowledge, and passion for cooking made us feel completely at home. She embodies the very best of Bolognese hospitality—and her food? Simply extraordinary. This is a memory Emily and I will cherish forever. We can’t wait to bring a bit of Rosa’s kitchen into our own home and start making pasta with our kids. Grazie mille, Rosa! —Nick & Emily P.S. Please send our thanks to Gino and Tony Stark too
- We had an amazing time with Rosa! She was such an amazing host and taught us so much! We were in Bologna as part of my birthday trip and Rosa kindly also prepared some birthday pizzas to celebrate! All the food was absolutely delicious and we can’t wait to make everything at home again!
- Rosa was very handsome and we had a lot of fun during the pasta class. Her instructions were very useful and we enjoyed the Bolognese cucina.
- It was a superb experience, and I highly recommend Rosa to everyone! Rosa is the perfect host and a skillful chef. We learned how to cook three different kinds of pasta while having two rounds of aperitivos with local products and sipping Italian prosecco. My girlfriend and I had a fantastic experience and will undoubtedly repeat it soon.
- Rosa is an excellent host! So hospitable & welcoming into her home. She was great with teaching & showing us how to make fresh pasta, tiramisu & piadina, which was delicious and even more enjoyable to eat. Would recommend her to everyone! We loved our morning cooking with you Rosa, we had so much fun grazie mille!!!
