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.

- 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'!
- My husband and I recently attended a cooking class in Bologna, and we had the pleasure of being taught by Maurizio, who did an extraordinary job. The class was engaging and educational, with Maurizio's expertise and passion for Italian cuisine shining through every step of the way. He created a warm and welcoming atmosphere, making the experience both enjoyable and memorable. The place where we learned to cook was super comfortable, adding to the overall positive experience. Maurizio's detailed explanations and hands-on approach allowed us to truly understand the intricacies of traditional Bolognese cooking. We left the class not only with delicious recipes but also with a deeper appreciation for the art of Italian cooking. Maurizio's dedication and skill made this cooking class an unforgettable experience, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their culinary skills.
