Hands-on cooking class with starter, pasta and dessert
Shared Experience
Your experience
- Piadina with pickles, cheeses, and jams
- Tortelloni
- Tiramisù
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.

- I attended the cooking class with my 13yo daughter, because we were both curious how the proper ragú al bolognese is prepared. With Paola not only we learnt two types of ragú but also two types of pasta. In her lovely house and beautiful kitchen she led us through the process with love and patience. She also prepared some delicious antipasto. Paola is a great cook, perfect teacher and really good companion for a chat, too. I hope, Paola had great time with us as we had with her. Thank you very much! Hope to be back soon for other delicious recipes. P.S. I have already cooked your ragú and tried the mortadella mousse. Marvelous! ❤️
- How lucky of us to find Paola. It was the Saturday before Buona Pasqua and there on https://cesarine.com/en was the perfect menu that we were seeking for our Bologna cooking experience! What made it perfect? The chef, her menu, the location, the environment, the instruction, and the history of each item we prepared together. What a beautiful day we had with Paola in her lovely kitchen learning how to make “real” Bolognese sauce and creating beautiful pasta to serve it on. We had so much fun getting to know each other. All was capped off with a lovely lunch served in her beautiful home. We now have both the knowledge and understanding of what it takes to create what Bologna is so famous for. Paolo, thank you again for such a delightful day.
- My partner and I did a private cooking class with Paola, and it honestly exceeded all our expectations! Paola was super friendly, spoke great English, and was such a great teacher. We had so much fun making Piadina, Tortelloni, and Tiramisu, and we learned a ton, not just about the cooking process but also the history behind the dishes. The atmosphere was really cozy and welcoming, and Paola had even prepared some delicious appetizers for us ahead of time, which was such a nice surprise. When it came time to eat, the table was beautifully set, and everything tasted amazing! This class definitely inspired me to keep practicing these classic Italian dishes at home. Thank you so much, Paola, for such a fun and memorable experience!
- Abbiamo seguito un meraviglioso corso di cucina con una padrona di casa meravigliosa. Ci siamo divertiti moltissimo a cucinare con Paola e sicuramente torneremo per seguire un altro corso. Grazie mille.
- It was an amazing experience. Paola was a wonderful host and was great at teaching us how to make the pasta and also shared the recipes. In addition, the tiramisu was really delicious. I would definitely recommed taking a class with Paola.
