Your experience
I’ll welcome you into my home to share an authentic Bolognese culinary experience. In my cosy, light-filled fifth-floor flat, with a beautiful view of the greenery, we’ll prepare traditional Bolognese balanzoni, classic fresh lasagne and the timeless tiramisu from scratch together. The experience will begin with a small welcome aperitif and continue with stories, fresh pasta and good company. At the end, we’ll taste the dishes we’ve prepared, accompanied by local wine and Italian coffee. An authentic moment to really feel at home in Bologna.

- A very special cooking experience with a lovely lady. If you make a reservation with Olga will be very happy. It was a brilliant experience and I cannot recommend Olga too highly for an experience Cesarine
- we really enjoyed cooking with olga! she was lovely and very fun :) thank you so much :)
- Olga was so kind and knowledgeable! Learning from her felt like cooking with a friend. I’ve left my lesson with an improved understanding of the mechanics of pasta making, some Bologna recommendations, a full stomach, and light spirits from friendly conversation. I highly recommend Olga to anyone looking for a Bolognese cooking class, I had so much fun!
- Olga’s private pasta making class was one of my favorite experiences in Bologna. The setting in a real local home made it feel so authentic and gave the whole experience a very different feel from a typical cooking class. We made three different pasta shapes, and Olga was such a patient and knowledgeable teacher. She really paid attention to my technique and taught me all the little details that make a difference. The best part, of course, was eating the fresh pasta we had made! We had such a nice time chatting about Italy, Bologna, food, traditions, and life. Such a warm, fun, and memorable experience. Olga definitely made me want to cook! ❤️
- Olga is unbelievably knowledgeable, skillful, warm and hospitable. I will practice and treasure the recipes and techniques she gave.

Where
Olga
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.
