Tasting of traditional dishes

Shared Experience
Your experience
  • Starter with Pignoletto
  • First course of fresh, handmade pasta
  • Choice of main course
  • A traditional Bolognese dessert

I love tradition and interpret it with respect. You’ll find me very close to the Giardini Margherita, amidst ever-changing colours, especially in autumn. We’ll decide on the culinary journey together, choosing dishes that embody our Bolognese identity.

We’ll start with an antipasto of ‘crescente’, savoury pie, mortadella, ciccioli and pickles, where a glass of Pignoletto is a must. We’ll continue with fresh pasta – tagliatelle, strozzapreti, tagliatelline, tortelloni, lasagne or passatelli – before choosing between guinea fowl, turkey leg, meatloaf, pork loin, roast beef, salama da sugo or smoked meats. To finish, rice cake, pinza or raviole. We’ll choose the wine for the next courses together: what do you say?

We had wonderful night with these beautiful people. So welcoming and warm. The cooking class was definitely a highlight of our time in Bologna!

Kathy and Robert - 

We had a wonderful time in our class! They were wonderful hosts! We got to choose to make certain pasta dishes and then enjoy them on their wonderful back terrace in what is just a most beautiful and quaint neighborhood! We got to experience a piece of Bologna we never would have without them! Can not recommend this enough to anyone who is from beginner to food/cooking enthusiast! It was fun, informative, and delicious!

E and C -

Eleonora e Federico

Cesarina from 2025Location: Bologna (BO)    Languages: Italian, English, Spanish, French
We cook dishes from the Bolognese and Romagnola tradition, but we also love to be inspired by other cuisines, which make our table more lively and flavorful. Tradition is our certainty, imagination the means to reinvent it. In our kitchen, seasonality guides the senses, and the search for harmony on the plate is often a topic of discussion between us, as we have shared a passion for good food for forty years — a passion that started in a restaurant! We inherited our love for cooking from our families: Eleonora from her mother, a painter, and her grandmother, a passionate homemaker; Federico from his grandmother, a master of lasagna and crème caramel, his father in passatelli, and the “dada” in the world’s best roast beef. For ten years we ran a shop-laboratory in the center of Bologna, where tradition and creativity met under the porticoes amid aromas, chatter, and the curiosity of passersby and tourists.
