Private Experience
Your experience
I am Cristina, Cesarina Bolognese DOC, and I am waiting for you at my home to spend an evening discovering Smeraldini, the ancestors of tortellini. Their history is rooted in the gastronomic traditions of the province of Bologna.
Together, we will discover the secrets and tricks of preparing this ancient dish, handed down from my grandmother, who came from a village in the Apennines of Modena. Instead of the classic tortellino in broth, she prepared a slightly larger one, with a more flavorful filling and topped with Parmesan cream, to introduce us to different flavors.
After the course, we will taste the Smeraldini, accompanying them with a good glass of wine. It will be a unique opportunity to share an evening and meet new people. I look forward to seeing you!

- It was a fantastic experience, one of the highlights of our holiday. Christina and her husband were amazing hosts and we learned so much from them. Highly recommended
- I, my friends and my mother were lucky enough to cook with Cristina in her beautiful home. And on that occasion we discovered that the perfect tortellino isn't just the result of a recipe and skilled hands that prepare it, the perfect tortellino is made of atmosphere, friendliness, warmth and chatter. Thank you Cristina for the wonderful experience and for transmitting to us the forgotten pleasure of DOING... Special mention to Cristina's husband, Enrico, who should always be included in the Cesarine package... funny, lively and always on the ball!
- Cristina was great. She was full of information as we walked through city center and described each of the market venders we made purchases from. Cooking class was so much fun and the food was great. We had a wonderful day.

Cesarina from 2022Location: Bologna (BO) Languages: English, Italian, Japanese, French"I was born and raised in the center of Bologna. My two grandmothers were amazing cooks and I loved being with them and admiring them while preparing their specialties. Slowly I enriched, for my great passion, my menus becoming the reference for my large family at every dinner of great occasions."
