Shared Experience
Your experience

    I propose a slightly different experience, deviating from the classic Bolognese recipes: today's menu features an appetizer and first course based on fish. My guests will become acquainted with bluefish, tasting a stuffed anchovy appetizer. It's a delicious dish, suitable for pescetarians. Alternatively, I offer cuttlefish tagliatelle, cooked with apples and chard.

    For the first course, I present an Italian classic: spaghetti alle vongole, but I'll replace the spaghetti with handmade tagliolini. To conclude, I'll delight my guests with tiramisu. Instead of soaking the ladyfingers in coffee, they'll be dipped in lemon syrup, more fitting for a fish-based menu. If the season permits, the experience will be held outdoors, on my patio.

    We had a great time with the pasta and pizza workshop! Paola explained everything really well, and let us do as much as possible. We could eat our result in her nice garden, with a delicious wine. We would recommend it to everyone!

    Dear Paola, Thank you so much for creating such a wonderful evening for us, even though we arrived late. The pasta-making class was absolutely fantastic and very educational. The atmosphere was truly beautiful, and your amazing kitchen made the whole pasta experience even more special. We got along with Paola so well and had some amazing conversations throughout the evening. This is truly a must-do experience when visiting Italy — and if you’re in Bologna, definitely with Paola! P.S. Thank you for the great bar recommendation and for all your support and helpful information. You really made our short stay in Bologna extra special with your pasta class.

    Amazing Pasta-Class - September 2025

    Sono stata da Paola, ad imparare a fare tortelloni e tortellini. Non credevo di vivere una esperienza cosi' bella e trascorrere una giornata cosi' piacevole! Paola professionale, chiarissima nelle spiegazioni, empatica, simpatica, che mette a proprio agio gli ospiti, fin dall'inizio! Paola generosa di consigli e trucchetti, ti fa vivere e trascorrere ore piacevolissime e molto "appetitose". Consiglio a tutti una esperienza cosi', che non vedo l'ora di rivivere, con altre prelibatezze e insegnamenti di Paola!

    We had the great fortune of having a private cooking session with Paola and had an amazing time. She is very kind and welcoming and shared so much knowledge and experiences with us. The food and wine were both incredible! An added bonus is the opportunity to spend time in her beautiful home and get a sense of what life in Bologna is like. Worth every penny!
