Shared Experience
Your experience
Welcome to my home in the hills of Bologna for an experience dedicated to fresh pasta in the Bolognese tradition! During these 3 hours, you will discover the secrets of making tagliatelle and tortelloni like a true sfoglina, using the rolling pin to transform flour and eggs into works of gastronomic art.
We will begin by preparing the tiramisu, which will rest in the refrigerator while we work the dough and sheet to make flawless tortelloni and tagliatelle. After cooking, we will taste tortelloni topped with butter and gold and tagliatelle with sausage and rosemary ragout, accompanied by selected local wines.
We will finish with our tiramisu and a good coffee. I will welcome you in an environment with attention to detail, to share tradition and conviviality!

- We‘ve had a really great time with Roberta. She not only showed us how to make great Tortelloni and Tagliatelle but also how to prepare a yummy tomato-meat-sauce. The wine was also delicious and her place is beautiful. Thanks for the wonderful morning and afternoon!
- Thank you Roberta for welcoming us into your home and sharing your wonderful pasta making skills. We had a lovely night and walked away with confidence in recreating a beautiful, authentic Bologna meal. A perfect way to spend the evening in Bologna. Grazia.
- This was such a delightful experience! Roberta was welcoming and her home is so lovely. She made everything easy and fun, giving guidance and instruction when needed, but always supportive of our novice efforts. Everyone in our group (family of five - two parents and three teenage boys) got to participate, and had a lot of fun. Roberta seated us in her dining room for an appetizer course before we cooked our fresh pastas. The whole morning was a success and such a great way to really experience the local culture of Bologna.
- We had such a fun time learning how to make Tiramisu and pasta. Hopefully we can recreate what we learned once back in the states.
- I can’t say enough wonderful things about our this experience. It was truly the highlight of our trip. Roberta was so warm and welcoming. We got to choose the type of pasta we wanted to learn how to make and we learned her mother’s recipe for tiramisu. She even placed a candle in the tiramisu to celebrate my son’s birthday. One of my favorite pics is when she gave a kiss to his head. We really felt like we were in Nona’s kitchen. We had so much fun learning all the details of making, kneading, and rolling out the pasta. We also enjoyed delicious wine and espresso over conversations. The food, the company, the culture, the conversation, the whole experience is something we will forever remember. Roberta also shared the recipes with us so we can continue to enjoy this experience even after we arrive back home. 10/10 I would recommend this to anyone visiting Bologna. My son and I have not stopped talking about this all day! ——- Non posso che descrivere questa esperienza meravigliosa. È stata davvero il momento clou del nostro viaggio. Roberta è stata così calorosa e accogliente. Abbiamo potuto scegliere il tipo di pasta che volevamo imparare a fare e abbiamo imparato la ricetta del tiramisù di sua madre. Ha persino messo una candelina nel tiramisù per festeggiare il compleanno di mio figlio. Una delle mie foto preferite è quella in cui gli ha dato un bacio sulla testa. Ci siamo sentiti davvero come nella cucina della nonna. Ci siamo divertiti tantissimo a imparare tutti i dettagli su come preparare, impastare e stendere la pasta. Abbiamo anche gustato un delizioso vino e un espresso chiacchierando. Il cibo, la compagnia, la cultura, le conversazioni, l'intera esperienza è qualcosa che ricorderemo per sempre. Roberta ha anche condiviso le ricette con noi, così possiamo continuare a goderci questa esperienza anche una volta tornati a casa. 10/10 Lo consiglierei a chiunque visiti Bologna. Io e mio figlio non abbiamo smesso di parlarne per tutto il giorno!

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.
