Your experience
I can't wait to welcome you on a truly special itinerary through the streets of Bologna's ancient market, the Quadrilatero. In Via Pescherie Vecchie, we will explore the colorful fruit and vegetable stalls, where you will also find some of the best delicatessens in the city. The experience will then continue with a cooking class: we will start with a selection of cold cuts, Parmigiano Reggiano, and roasted polenta to introduce you to the excellence of Emilia; we will continue with tagliatelle al ragù, where you will get your hands dirty preparing the pasta, and we will conclude with Caprese cake, linked to my origins.
I look forward to seeing you in my kitchen, where we will have the pleasure of cooking together!

- Everything was so nice, we learned to do pasta, and tiramisu There were lots of laughs and joy! We had so much fun with Oriana! And we recommend her to everybody !!
- I had the most wonderful experience at Oriana’s cooking class! From the moment we arrived, Oriana made us feel completely at home warm and welcoming. She guided us step by step through the art of making fresh tortellini from scratch, Every step was very fun, and Oriana shared so many helpful tips about ingredients and techniques. After the tortellini, we moved on to tiramisu. Oriana’s version was rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced, and she taught us how to layer it perfectly . We got to enjoy everything we made together. It wasn’t just a cooking class it was a great experience. I left feeling inspired, full, and excited to try everything again at home. Thank you, Oriana, for such a memorable day. I’d recommend this class to anyone who loves Italian food and authentic local experiences!
- We had had a lot of fun and the food was amazing. Everyone enjoyed the evening very much.
- I booked a pasta making experience for my partner and I. This was an amazing class and something I would highly recommend for anyone visiting Bologna. Our host Oriana was wonderful, she has a great humour and teaching skills that made the class pass very quickly. In the time we had we learned how to make 3 different pasta shapes tagliatelle, tagliolini and a riccota tortellini. While the dough was proving, we shared glasses of wine as well as stories. The meals we enjoyed while waiting on the prooving where flavourful and light. After the pasta proved, Oriana made 3 brillant meals that accommodated a mix of a vegetarian and meat eater. It was delicious!! Couldn't of asked for a better host.
- My family’s experience cooking with Oriana was truly amazing. She was so welcoming and made us feel right at home and part of her family. No other experience we had on our Italian vacation was able to top this. She is a truly beautiful person and if you ever get the chance to book an evening cooking with Oriana, I would absolutely do it. Cesarine is lucky to have someone like Oriana representing them. Thank you again Oriana for a once in a lifetime experience!!

Where
Oriana
Cesarina from 2018Location: Bologna Languages: Italian and EnglishOriana, our Cesarina, lives within walking distance of one of the most historically rich and picturesque places in Bologna, the Basilica di Santo Stefano. Here, in one of the most beloved areas of the historic town, by both Bolognese and tourists, Oriana introduces us to her family: Salvatore, her husband, and their four children that they love to pamper by cooking them healthy meals, while passing on the family recipes. Oriana is originally from Naples, but living in Bologna, she has learned how to make sfoglia, the typical local pasta, and ragù alla Bolognese. She delights in choosing the best cuts of meat to prepare her excellent bollito, or boiled meat, and for the smallest of her daughters, a lover of tortellini, she cooks this local pasta strictly in meat broth.
