Have you ever dreamed of tasting the iconic dishes of one of the world's most celebrated cuisines, just a stone's throw from the historic center of Bologna? The dream can become a reality: all you need to do is visit my little corner of paradise, located near Porta San Felice, not far from the city's ancient walls.

In the tranquility of this refined location, enriched by a charming garden with outdoor seating that I prepare specifically for the summer months, I will guide you in discovering the authentic flavors of our tradition. Cooking is my passion, a passion rooted in family tradition, and I love sharing it with those who, like you, choose to sit at my table!

What a lovely experience learning to make lasagna bolognese with Paola. After 4 weeks of travel, the day was like a breath of fresh air. Spending the day cooking and meeting a new friend. Sitting down in her beautiful table and having a home cooked meal was perfect. I learned a lot about local cuisine. I love how food is a great unifier across the world. We all enjoy the love & traditions conveyed in the kitchen. I intend to make this with my kids when we get home!! Perhaps a new holiday tradition for us now. Grazie Paola❣️

Paola was such a great host and cook. She was so patient with us and taught us the right technique. She was also very nice to chat with and prepared a great meal for us after our lesson. Paola is a gem and I’d highly recommend her cooking class to anyone visiting Bologna!

Paola è un'ottima cuoca e riesce a insegnare benissimo come cucinare, anche a me che non sono molto dotata! E anche un ottima padrona di casa. E stata la mia prima esperienza con le Cesarine e trovo l'idea sia fantastica. Abbiamo inoltre mangiato benissimo!

Our Bologna cooking class with Paola was fantastic! My wife and I were warmly welcomed and immediately felt like we were reconnecting with a long-time friend. All cooking ingredients, utensils, and recipes were ready upon our arrival, which allowed ample time for learning the cooking techniques while asking plenty of questions. To our delight, Paolo arranged for us to eat our cooking results on her beautiful patio, where we enjoyed a bottle of Chianti Classico wine from our travels. Our memorable time with Paola and our cooking experience was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. Grazie mille!

Our Cesarine was amazing. Her home was lovely and she gave a true immersion into an Italian home. We learned to make tagliatelle and tiramisu (her nonna’s recipe). thank you Paola for sharing your evening. We recommend her to anyone who wants to learn from a local.
