Shared Experience
Your experience
Italian cuisine is renowned worldwide for its richness of flavor, tradition and conviviality. Preparing Italian dishes is an experience that combines fun and passion for food. We have chosen two classic dishes that best represent this: ravioli and fettuccine.
We will prepare two vegetarian versions together, paying attention to what the season offers us. You will have two worktops to create your dishes with comfort, and we will see together what tricks and secrets lie behind a simple-looking dish.

- What can I say, a fantastic experience. Maurizio is a wonderful person, from the beginning he made us feel at home, welcoming us into his marvelous home! Between laughs and a few anecdotes here and there, he revealed and showed us the secrets to making proper homemade pasta; the sauces he prepared were DIVINE! My sister Giulia, my mother Paola, and I thank him very much again for the fantastic experience he gave us!
- We had such a fun evening cooking with Maurizio! He and Marco were lovely hosts who made us feel welcome and comfortable in their beautiful home. And we learned so much about making pasta by hand! I highly recommend this cooking experience with Maurizio.
- It was a fantastic experience! We asked to organize a small cooking challenge between coworkers. Maurizio welcomed us into his delightful home, immediately made us feel comfortable, the atmosphere was fun and familiar… and after a generous aperitivo (all homemade) accompanied by excellent sparkling wine, we “got our hands dirty.” Maurizio guided us through this experience, telling us about the origins and giving us tips for rolling out the pasta perfectly… and once finished, we cooked and savored our creations, continuing to toast. The winner was declared (awarded with a very original gadget) and we also tasted a cake whose secret recipe is part of Maurizio’s family heritage – we can only say that it was truly amazing. The day was truly enjoyable. It was exactly what we needed: hospitality, sharing, and fun. An experience to recommend and repeat!
- Maurizio and Marco were absolutely delightful guides and hosts — they were warm, kind, and most importantly, made sure to complete my Bologna experience with the best food in town. Maurizio's tagliatelle is exquisite — but what I'll remember are a lovely pair of tour guides who made my solo trip through Italy just a little more memorable. Highly recommended for other LGBTQ+ travelers looking for a sense of community as they make their way through Bologna.
- Perfect host! This was our favorite cooking experience we have ever done. A lot of it is because of Maurizio. He was very knowledgable, charismatic and welcoming. He made us feel at home from the moment we walked into his home. The day really flew by. The food was sensational. We highly recommend this experience but make sure you request Maurizio! OH, he also asked about our trip and made recommendations on places to see and where we can go based on what we had planned. We took his suggestions and were really happy we did. Thank you for an incredible day!
