Shared Experience
Your experience
- Ciacci
- Tagliatelle made with chestnut flour
- Chestnut muffins
We’ll start by making Ciacci together – thin, rustic crepes from the farming tradition of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines – which we’ll serve with ricotta, jam, cured meats, cheeses or hazelnut cream.
We’ll then move on to chestnut-flour tagliatelle, served with a tasty sauce made from leeks and speck. To round off on a sweet note, we’ll make and taste some chestnut muffins, perfect for enjoying with a good coffee. It’ll be a chance to get stuck in, discover traditional ingredients and recipes, and share a moment of conviviality together.

- What an incredible experience we had during our private cooking lessons, and our Bergamo walking tour. We learned the history & culture of the city & Alessandro's family recipes. The food was amazing! What a treat! One of the kindest people with two wonderful sons. Alessandro's home was neat and very clean. It was easy to follow his direction and we enjoyed good conversation, wine, and food. We will definitely book againif we are in Bergamo. We left a bag at Alessandro's home anf had to go back to retrieve it. Not only was he gracious enough to travel back and forth, but he even shared his own music & kept us in good spirits. A huge thank you! Gratzie Millie!
- I was blessed to enjoy two experiences with Alessandro. A walking food tour of Bergamot through Citta Alta with a cheese and wine tasting followed by a visit to the best gellato location in Bergamot! We then enjoyed a walk to the local market and a private cooking class in his home where we made traditional, delicious pasta dishes and tiramisu. We enjoyed spending time in his home, met his sons, and enjoyed amazing food! It felt more like spending time with family!! If I am lucky enough to return to Bergamot I will definitely look to spend time with him again. Can not recommend enough!! Thank you for two unforgettable experiences Alessandro!!!’
- We booked two separate experiences with Alessandro in Bergamo—a wonderful food tour featuring local wines, cheeses, and authentic stracciatella gelato, and a market visit followed by a hands-on cooking class making delicious traditional pasta, enjoying local cheeses, wines and his family recipe for Crescencyne. Alessandro went above and beyond! The thought, preparation, and love he puts into his experiences are truly special. He was incredibly accommodating, and we felt right at home cooking in his kitchen and meeting his sons. It felt like spending time with family rather than taking a tour. Both experiences were highlights of our trip and a fantastic way to experience Bergamo like a local. Highly recommend!
- It was truly fantastic. Alessandro was so kind and helpful! He welcomed us into his home as if we were family and taught us how to prepare delicious gnocchi, tagliatelle, and tiramisu. At one point, his children joined us, and it felt like one big family reunion!
- Alessandro (Bergamo) was a great host! He was very thoughtful, patient, and kind to both my daughter and me. To our surprise, the dishes we prepared were delicious! I can't wait to try making them at home!

Alessandro
Cesarina from 2024Location: Bergamo (BG) Languages: Italian and EnglishMy 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!
