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?

Her cooking skill and patience were fabulous and we were able to make two different kinds of pasta as well as a tiramisu. We would highly recommend this experience to anyone.

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.
