- We had the best afternoon making pasta fresca and tiramisu with Olga. She was an expert host - very warm and welcoming, generous and she shared so many amazing techniques. I would highly recommend her classes for an authentic experience and delicious food!
- Olga was incredible! She is incredibly knowledgeable about food and really knows what she's talking about. As someone who is already very into cooking and making pasta, she taught me so many new tips and tricks. On top of that, due to some last minute rescheduling with the platform there had been some mix ups on the class, which she handled incredibly well and resolved the confusion swiftly. Me and my husband had so much fun with our time with her and we couldn't recommend her more!
- Olga is a great cooking teacher! She is very knowledgeable, patient, thorough and encouraging. She clearly explained what we were to do, and why it is done that way. She created a relaxed and fun atmosphere, and our time with her was thoroughly enjoyable. The food we made together was delicious!
- Olga is amazing. So calm and knowledgeable. I loved the personal approach and the little tips to make the pasta so light and delicate. Highly recommend this if you’re interested in food.
- Olga is a fantastic host, teacher and chef. My experience today was far beyond any expectations. I left with a solid foundation of the *why* behind several techniques, how to troubleshoot errors, and a renewed appreciation for the magic of how simple, quality ingredients pair with time and patience of creating delicate shapes with firmly secured edges. Word of caution, you may find yourself extending your trip for more! Absolutely world class, top tier experience in a relaxed and cozy environment. Olga is the Pasta Queen.

Cesarina from 2026Location: Bologna (BO) Languages: Italian, English, SpanishMy cooking always starts with handmade pasta — that slow, precise gesture of rolling out the dough, choosing the right shape, feeling the mixture come to life between your fingers. Traditional Italian first courses are my greatest love: I prepare them with care, pairing them with rich, fragrant sauces built on simple ingredients and plenty of time. And it never ends without something sweet: from the great classics to my lighter variations, because a meal without a little sweetness at the end isn't really complete.
