Your experience

    Join us for an unforgettable experience in Bologna, starting at the historic Cassero, a cultural landmark with deep ties to the Lgbtqia+ community. From there, you'll head to Piazzetta Magnani, where the "Mercato Lumiere," a farmers' market where local producers sell seasonal zero-mile produce at fair prices, is set up. Next, you will begin a food tour of the charming Pratello area, a bohemian neighborhood renowned for its authentic restaurants and quaint streets. The journey culminates at the home of our local Maurizio, where you'll indulge in a generous aperitivo with a selection of exquisite Bolognese products. This experience promises a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere.

    My friend and I took a class with Maurizio in Bologna, Italy. He was wonderful!! Patient, informative, personalbe, funny. He helped us with our cooking and our Italian speaking. It was intimate and so enjoyable. I would really give him 10 stars.

    Our cooking class with Maurizio was just wonderful. We loved his beautiful home and really enjoyed learning how to make raviolis, pasta, and tiramisu. We drank prosecco and dined out on his garden terrace that was in full bloom. It was just lovely!

    We spent a lovely 4 hrs cooking with Maurizio. He is a patient teacher, explains well and loves his craft. Cooking is like making love and Maurizio brings out the best. We had a ton of laughs through out the day. We are so glad we booked his class. You won't be disappointed!

    Maurizio and his partner Marco were the definition of hospitable. They welcomed us into their home with amazing made food and kept us laughing the whole time. They also provided a truly unique food tour around Bologna demonstrating their knowledge of the town's history whilst knowing where to go for the best local cuisine. I highly recommend this experience and cannot wait to see them again one day.

    Maurizio and Marco were the absolute best. We left feeling so full of laughter, food, and wine. I would 100% recommend this experience to anyone & everyone. We chatted about life, told stories. and had the best time ever. It was just me and my best friend and it really felt so special and authentic. The food was DELICIOUS and I can’t wait to share what I’ve learned with my friends and family back home in New York. If you’re looking for a one-of-kind, authentic & RAW Italian experience - look no further. It felt like sharing a meal with new friends or family. Thank you, Maurizio & Marco for such an incredible night. We will never forget it!

    SUCH A GREAT EXPERIENCE!!! - April 2025

    I devote myself with passion to traditional regional cooking, embracing recipes from Emilia, Tuscany, and Lazio, without shying away from culinary innovation and exploration. I pay close attention to the seasonality of ingredients and the origins of raw materials, favoring locally-sourced products. Equipped with excellent communication skills, I place particular emphasis on the story behind every dish, as well as on hospitality and welcoming my guests.
