Cooking class: learn how to cook traditional & innovative Italian recipes from a local Cesarina
Shared Experience
Your experience
We are in the 1950s and 60s, when pasta became the main food on Italian tables: bucatini, maccheroni, spaghetti...as long as it was pasta, always served with tomato sauce.
In this context, Italian cinema reached its peak, along with the vision of the Bel Paese. During this time, Pietro Germi's two most successful films were released in Italy, while in America, a unique perception of "Italianness" emerged.
The iconic dish overseas became "spaghetti meatballs," which we offer you as tradition dictates, with the components cooked separately.
Our cooking class features egg spaghetti with tomato sauce and meatballs, aiming to recreate the atmosphere of Italy from those years at the table.

- It was a very nice competition. I will always remember of this beautiful cooking experience. Thank you so much.
- Maurizio was simply the best. He welcomed my mom and I into his beautiful home and gave us a cooking experience we will always treasure. He took us to the local market to get the ingredients for our delicious lunch and showed us around his lovely neighborhood. He also took the time to make us a dinner reservation at one of his favorite restaurants! I would recommend this experience to anyone. It is the highlight of my Italy vacation. And the food was PERFECTO!!
- Un mix perfetto di bravura, dolcezza e simpatia. È stata la mia prima esperienza nel mondo Cesarine e non poteva andare meglio. Benchè sconosciuti, Maurizio sa come farci sentire "a casa". Esperienza meravigliosa. La ciliegina sulla torta è Marco con la sua simpatia e brillante parlantina è un ottimo intrattenitore aiutando a far sentire a proprio agio gli ospiti. Quindi oltre che bellissima coppia formano anche un'ottima squadra. Complimenti anche per la location, il terrazzino è davvero molto bello e curato. Grazie grazie
- Maurizio è tante cose: cuoco sopraffino e appassionato, padrone di casa accogliente, sa mettere gli ospiti a proprio agio, competente e di gran compagnia. La serata Cesarine a casa sua è stata per me un'esperienza indimenticabile
- Fantastica esperienza! Maurizio ci ha accolto nella sua casa in pieno centro di Bologna e ci ha insegnato a preparare la pasta all' uovo e il tiramisù. La spiegazione è stato chiara e non sono mancate delle buone chiacchiere e della buona musica di sottofondo. Consigliatissimo per una vera e propria esperienza 'local'!
