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 such a great teacher. He made it look so easy. The food we made was delicious and memorable.
- A fabulous experience! Delicious tortelloni with an aperitif and amazing dessert. Luca’s expertise in showing us how everything is done was perfect! We learned so much and plan to make pasta when we return home!!
- Luca was an excellent host! We had the best time learning to cook tortellini and making tiramisu!!! I couldn’t recommend enough! Thank you for such a wonderful experience!!!
- Luca is a great teacher and chef. He is very organized and give clear directions and makes sure you understand each step in the pasta making process before moving on. He gave me confidence and I am excited to continue on my own. He is a wonderful host and gave me tips on sauces for each type of pasta that I made. If in Bologna, I highly recommend taking a pasta making class with him.
- Had a great experience making pasta for the first time! I felt very welcome. Luca is a great teacher and easy going.

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.
