Shared Experience
Your experience
- Traditional mix appetizers
- Piadina (traditional flat bread)
- Tiramisu
Every dish you'll taste at my home is homemade and full of flavor, suitable for both adults and children.
The appetizers are enhanced with pickled vegetables, prepared personally by me, and homemade jams. These are perfect to enjoy with cheeses, particularly with Parmigiano Reggiano. In this experience, you'll have the opportunity to learn how to cook Romagna-style piadina, a traditional stuffed fresh pasta dish, and tiramisu. I'll welcome you into my kitchen, where I'll teach you the secrets of the Emilia-Romagna culinary tradition.

- Excellent experience! Cesarina Paola welcomed us wonderfully! She told us about and involved us in the preparation of the tagliatelle, lunch was EXCELLENT! We can't wait to recommend her to our friends! Thank you Paola, for making our Saturday perfect!
- We were very warmly welcomed to his/her property. The experience was very pleasant, we highly recommend it.
- Thank you Paola for a wonderful cooking class! We were a group of 9 people from 2 families, with those who cook a little to those who cook a lot, and Paola was very kind and encouraging and able to teach us all many things. The details are improrant, and she was able to give many tips to improve our pasta and tirimisu making. Many thanks Paola!
- Paola was fantastic! Very welcoming and kind. We are so appreciative that she adjusted her schedule to fit us in at the last minute. She gave us so many insights and helpful tips for making incredible pasta. She was very patient in helping us learn and refine the techniques that we will be able to take home and use for trying to make it on our own. She said we passed but have to come back for a follow-up next time we are in Bologna and possibly learn some more recipes 😀
- Wow. We weren’t entirely sure what to expect, but our time with Paola was exceptional - it absolutely exceeded any ideas we had. The setting, her home, was intimate and welcoming, much the same as her lovely personality. She is intelligent and patient. My husband does little to no cooking and was nervous about this experience. He felt welcomed and confident. Our meal was delicious. We absolutely hope to cross paths with her again.
