Shared Experience
Your experience

    I am Oriana, your Cesarina from Bologna, and I live just a short walk away from one of the city's most evocative and rich historical sites, the Basilica of Santo Stefano. In the cobblestone streets of the historic center, where locals and tourists mingle in a lively daily ballet, I spend most of my time between my family and the kitchen. I invite you to join us for a special lunch or dinner where not only will you be able to savor the delights of Bolognese cuisine, but also have the opportunity to watch a cooking demo on one of the main dishes. I can't wait to share with you the warmth of my kitchen and the secrets of my recipes. I look forward to seeing you!

    We were invited into a lovely home and had such a wonderful experience. We mainly made tagliatelle, tiramisu, and appetizers for our aperitivo. Thanks to Oriana’s clear, patient, and easy-to-follow instructions, even complete beginners like us were able to make everything successfully. Oriana also served us carrots freshly picked from her own garden. To be honest, I’ve never really liked carrots, but these organic carrots were so sweet and delicious that I ate every last one❣️ It felt incredibly special and luxurious to sit down together and enjoy the dishes we had made ourselves, accompanied by delicious wine. I’d love to try making them again when I get home! Thank you so much for such an amazing and memorable experience.

    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!

    Oriana

    Cesarina from 2018Location: Bologna (BO)    Languages: Italian and English
    Oriana, 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.
