Shared Experience
Your experience
I am waiting for you for an authentic Bolognese experience among hills and tradition! After a welcome glass of wine, we will prepare together two types of fresh pasta pulled by hand with a rolling pin, as tradition dictates. The first is green puff pastry, which we will stuff with a delicious filling of mortadella, ricotta and Parmigiano to create the typical Balanzoni. The second is yellow egg pasta sheet, with which we will make classic tortelloni filled with ricotta and spinach. Once ready, we will bake them and enjoy them together with selected local wines in my home nestled in the green hills of Bologna. Who wants to learn the Bolognese tradition?

- This was such a fun class! Roberta was a wonderful teacher and very nice to be around. I felt like I was cooking with a friend. She was so helpful and made my husband and I both feel extremely comfortable in her beautiful home. She sent me a pdf of the recipes and took photos and shared them with me. I highly recommend her as an instructor.
- What a wonderful experience with Roberta! Everything was just perfect. Grazie mille!
- Had a fabulous 3hours with Roberta learning how to make true Italian Tiramisu and tortellini. The bonus being eating the result and it was delicious. Thanks so much Roberta.
- Saying Thank you does not do justice to my appreciation for today’s class. I have previously never left the U.S. but wanted to come to Italy for a very long time. I began planning the trip last July. Your class was the first adventure we have planned. It was truly a WONDERFUL experience in so many ways. Your teaching was very clear and patient. Your home is beautiful and inviting. And the food was absolutely divine. I can only hope to resemble your recipes in hopes to recreate what will remain a fond memory for years to come. Looking at your instagram page makes me wish we had open days to come back for your pizza and ravioli classes! If i am ever lucky enough to return to Italy in the future, they will be first on my list!
- Thank you so much for the lovely cooking class last week. Me and my son Andri can’t wait to try your recipes at home. This afternoon with you opened a new world in cooking and baking for us! I would recommend your class to everybody who likes to try italian cooking, you are a natural talent Thank you again, best regards

Where
Roberta
Cesarina from 2023Location: Bologna Languages: Italian, English, FrenchI love my kitchen both as a space and as a working environment. I enjoy getting my hands in the dough to make pasta, including thin sheets and shortcrust pastry. Being Tuscan, my cuisine is a blend of Tuscan and Emiliana traditions. From the typical lasagna and tagliatelle to the classic Tuscan pappa al pomodoro, my kitchen represents a fusion of these regional influences. The journey through traditional flavors continues with favorites like tiramisu and the iconic Prato biscuits, perfect for dipping into Vin Santo. My kitchen reflects my passion for tradition and the joy of sharing these gastronomic pleasures with others.
