- We had so much fun meeting Alessandra. She was welcoming and informative. She made learning how to make pasta seem so accessible and simple. We had an opportunity to get to know a bit more about her, learn some history about food in the various regions of Italy, and chat with her delightful father for a few minutes! The people, food, and experience was exactly what we were hoping for. If you enjoy meeting local people when you travel plus learning something new, I highly recommend this experience and Alessandra!
- We did a food walking tour with Alessandra . She was absolutely fantastic. Her English is incredible and she took time to get to know us and design a perfect tour for us balanced with what we had already done. She has incredible knowledge and came up with a great way to cook everything we asked about. We had a wonderful picnic lunch in the footsteps of Stanley Tucci - Amazing Host
- Alessandra and our cooking experience absolute perfection! She was so warm and welcoming and the environment was peaceful and inviting. We even got to briefly meet her cute, funny father! :) Alessandra is so skilled yet was incredibly patient with us as we formed dough and rolled it out. The food was outstanding… we kept thinking “we can’t believe we just made that!” :) She gave us great information about cooking processes and about the food in the region and beyond. We would 100% recommend this experience and Alessandra to anyone looking for a great time while in or near Bologna. It was definitely worth a train ride.
- I had an amazing experience making pasta. Alessandra was very kind, knowledgeable, and patient. I felt right at home in her class. Can’t wait until the next class. Thank you so much for everything !
- Alessandra welcomed us to her home and got us cooking right away. We’re sure she could make tortellini in her sleep yet she was patient with us showing us how to knead and roll properly. She made our experience fun and was always encouraging. She said, “Every family’s tortellini is the best in the world.” We had tortellini twice after that day and we think she’s right. Her filling is perfection. Forming the tortellini is harder than it looks but we feel we can do it on our own🤞. We both believe we wouldn’t have gotten the attention Alessandra showered us with any where else. Grazie!
