Your experience

Local cheeses and cured meats
Tigelle
Omelettes

We’ll head together to the weekly local farmers’ market in the village of Ponte San Pietro, about 15 minutes from the centre of Bergamo, and buy local cheeses, cured meats and vegetables. You’ll also find plenty of stalls selling clothing at this market. We’ll then head to my home (just a few minutes away) to sample these specialities, accompanied by some delicious tigelle (a type of small, round flatbread), which I’ll teach you how to make and which we’ll cook fresh on the spot, preceded by tasty little omelettes topped with crispy pancetta, which will serve as our starter. Followed by dessert and coffee!

: We had a great experience with Alessandro! He welcomed us into his home with open arms and we truly learned so much about pasta & tiramisu! We can’t wait to bring these recipes home and make them for family and friends.
: Alessandro is the definition of Italian hospitality. From the moment he picked us up, we truly felt like he adopted us into his family. Being a long-time resident of Bergamo, Alessandro’s passion, historical expertise, and knowledge of culinary traditions are infectious. He taught us how to make different local pasta shapes along with his family’s Ragu, inspired by Emilia Romagna. My favorite were the casoncelli, the most famous pasta in Bergamo. While the food and lessons were amazing, the highlight was spending the entire afternoon with Alessandro (and his two wonderful, hilarious sons!) We shared an epic feast with his family and drank wine and chatted for hours. The class was supposed to be over at 1, but we ended up staying together until nearly 4pm — all just enjoying our time together too much! It was one of the best experiences we’ve had during our travels. We look forward to staying in touch with Alessandro and his family, and can’t wait to come back to visit!
: We liked the guide Alessandro. He was very interesting to talk to. Also he picked recipes and ingredients iaw with our request.
: What a lovely way to spend the last day of this holiday. Alessandro was absolutely lovely and very knowledgeable about the delicious food we made. I also met his elder son who is a lovely young gentleman. I am learning Italian and this experience was wonderful as Alessandro kindly allowed me to practice speaking Italian with him. I highly recommend this experience.
: We had a fantastic cooking class with Alessandro - who hosted our group of 8 in his lovely apartment. From great local starters to making our own pasta and enjoying an amazing Tiramisu (which is, if you learn the little tricks, remarkably easy!), the whole class was an amazing experience. Alessandro took great care of us and made sure we learn not only about cooking, but also about regional specialities and the Italian culture :) Thanks again for this fantastic time and we will surely cook your recipes again! Ciao e a presto!

Alessandro

Cesarina from 2024Location: Bergamo (BG) Languages: Italian and English

My name is Alessandro. I was born in Milan in 1961 to parents from Emilia. I look forward to welcoming you in the kitchen of my home on the outskirts of Bergamo, where we will prepare and enjoy local specialties together (Scarpinocc, typical Bergamasco ravioli, or Polenta Taragna) as well as dishes from my family tradition (Tagliatelle, Rosette Modenesi, Tigelle). Everything will be preceded by a variety of possible appetizers, including Reggio Emilia’s Erbazzone, and followed by a dessert, typically Tiramisu. A wide selection of wines and digestifs will also be available. An authentic, convivial, and relaxing experience, with many simple recipes you can easily recreate at home!
