Your experience
- Home-cooked flavours: Tortelloni with butter and sage.
- Aperitif: polenta bruschetta topped with smoked scamorza cheese, caramelised onion and crispy prosciutto

I’ve always cooked for the people I love, and today I want to share this joy with you.
I’ll be waiting for you in my new, cosy flat just outside the city walls of Bologna, which is easy to reach on foot or by car. Here, I’ll welcome you to experience and share moments of carefree fun and cheer, all accompanied by a welcome aperitif and some fine local wine, made using locally sourced ingredients. Together, step by step, we’ll prepare the fresh pasta and the filling for our tortelloni, which we’ll serve with butter and sage – as simple as they are incredible – before enjoying them at the table. To round off on a sweet note, I’ll serve you a slice of chocolate salami, accompanied by mascarpone cream – a classic dessert that will leave you speechless. See you soon, Luca.

- Luca was very welcoming, fun and a good teacher! I had a good time learning to make pasta, thank you again
- We’ve had the most fabulous evening with Luca tonight! He provided us with a fun filled as well as informative evening, learning to make three different pastas in his lovely home. He was so engaging, sharing lots of stories of life in Italy today, and a wonder chef, teaching novices such as us! We had so many laughs with Luca, and look forward to preparing torteloni (our most favourite) especially at home for our family and grandchildren, They will love this! Luca was so friendly and quick to help us with transportation schedules etc…thank you Luca for a most memorable evening!!
- We had a wonderful experience today with Luca He was an excellent teacher and the food was superb It was definitely worth the we spent with him. Fantastic!!!
- A perfect day with Luca. So many great pasta tricks, he's super with kids and the food ended out excellent!
- My siblings and I absolutely loved cooking with Luca! He's very kind, appropriately goofy, and informative. We agreed that it was the highlight of our Italy trip!! Also, very helpful with recommendations for all things Bologna! Dreaming about his ragú until next time :)

Where
Luca
Cesarina from 2026Location: Bologna (BO) Languages: Italian and EnglishI was introduced to the world of fresh pasta and cooking as a child thanks to my mother and grandmothers, who passed on to me a passion for cooking and good food. As a teenager, I dreamed of opening my own restaurant and, starting with no experience, I worked in different places as a pasta maker and chef to learn the craft. Today, my idea has evolved: I enjoy organizing events at my home or at other people’s homes, bringing my cuisine, mainly based on Emilia-style fresh pasta, preceded by aperitifs and followed by spoon desserts or cakes.
