- 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!
- It was a very nice competition. I will always remember of this beautiful cooking experience. Thank you so much.
- Maurizio was simply the best. He welcomed my mom and I into his beautiful home and gave us a cooking experience we will always treasure. He took us to the local market to get the ingredients for our delicious lunch and showed us around his lovely neighborhood. He also took the time to make us a dinner reservation at one of his favorite restaurants! I would recommend this experience to anyone. It is the highlight of my Italy vacation. And the food was PERFECTO!!
- Un mix perfetto di bravura, dolcezza e simpatia. È stata la mia prima esperienza nel mondo Cesarine e non poteva andare meglio. Benchè sconosciuti, Maurizio sa come farci sentire "a casa". Esperienza meravigliosa. La ciliegina sulla torta è Marco con la sua simpatia e brillante parlantina è un ottimo intrattenitore aiutando a far sentire a proprio agio gli ospiti. Quindi oltre che bellissima coppia formano anche un'ottima squadra. Complimenti anche per la location, il terrazzino è davvero molto bello e curato. Grazie grazie
- Maurizio è tante cose: cuoco sopraffino e appassionato, padrone di casa accogliente, sa mettere gli ospiti a proprio agio, competente e di gran compagnia. La serata Cesarine a casa sua è stata per me un'esperienza indimenticabile
