Shared Experience
Your experience
- Gnocchi with Bolognese sauce
- Gnocchi alla veneta (potato gnocchi with melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon)
- Tiramisu
Just a stone’s throw from the portico leading to the Sanctuary of San Luca, in a bright apartment with a usable terrace, I invite you to a cooking class dedicated to gnocchi. Together, we will prepare potato gnocchi, served both with the classic Bolognese ragù and with a surprising sweet topping, as is traditional in Veneto, my homeland. We will end on a sweet note with the classic tiramisu. Simple, convivial recipes, all ready to enjoy. Laurina, the Cesarina, is waiting for you to cook and eat together!

- Laura nous a super bien accueilli. Nous avons beaucoup appris et elle a répondu à toutes nos questions. Le vin offert, le dessert et le café de la fin étaient fabuleux. Nous avons échanger sur nos cultures à travers la préparation et le souper. Nous recommandons fortement l’expérience.
- Laura and her family were an absolute joy to spend an evening with. We had so much fun learning how to make 3 types of pasta, and Laura was a true expert. It was also great getting to share a meal with her family, all of whom are warm, inviting people who are absolute pleasures to be around. We highly recommend this class and will definitely do it again if we ever are lucky enough to come back to Bologna. Don’t hesitate, book this class if she has availability. Laura e la sua famiglia sono stati una vera gioia con cui trascorrere la serata. Ci siamo divertiti moltissimo imparando a preparare tre tipi di pasta, e Laura è stata una vera esperta. È stato anche bellissimo condividere il pasto con la sua famiglia, tutti calorosi, accoglienti e davvero piacevoli da frequentare. Consigliamo vivamente questa esperienza e la rifaremmo sicuramente se dovessimo essere abbastanza fortunati da tornare a Bologna.
- J’ai adoré ce cours ! Laura et son mari m’ont accueilli avec une gentillesse et une hospitalité vraiment italiennes. Le programme — 3 recettes — est excellent et j’ai beaucoup appris sur la fabrication des pâtes. Laura transmet de façon concrète, avec passion et beaucoup de pédagogie, son savoir-faire. Sans doute la plus belle expérience de mon séjour d’une semaine à Bologne. I loved this class! Laura and her husband welcomed me with true Italian kindness and hospitality. The program—three recipes—was excellent, and I learned a great deal about pasta making. Laura shares her expertise in a practical, passionate, and highly instructive way. Without a doubt, the highlight of my week-long stay in Bologna. このクラスは本当に素晴らしかったです！Lauraさんとご主人は、イタリアらしい優しさとおもてなしで迎えてくれました。3種類のレシピを使ったプログラムは素晴らしく、パスタ作りについて多くのことを学ぶことができました。Lauraさんは専門知識を、実践的で情熱的、そして非常に分かりやすく教えてくれました。間違いなく、ボローニャでの1週間の滞在のハイライトでした。
- Highly recommend, an experience you will not forget. Laura welcomes you into her home as if you have known each other before. It was like going to a friend’s home in order to learn how to cook a dish along with a good discussion about Italian cuisine. Home away from home. So, happy i decided on this experience to welcome me to Bologna.
- We had a wonderful evening at Lauras apartment. We were welcomed with a snack and a drink. After that we started right away to make the dough for pasta and in between we prepared the best tiramisu we ever ate. Everything was best organized! She even prepared some dough for the tagliatelle in advance because it need some rest. Our highlight was to make the tortelloni. It was well explained and we had a lot of fun doing it. After all that we had a super nice dinner with the stuff we made, some coffee and great conversations! The whole experience was the highlight of our trip to Bologna and we can just recommend Laura as a host! Thank you and we hope to see someday again! :)

Where
Laura
Cesarina from 2025Location: Bologna (BO) Languages: Italian and EnglishI love cooking risottos, tagliatelle with ragù, carbonara, seafood pastas, as well as meat and fish prepared in different ways, and of course gratin vegetables and various desserts. I’m originally from Veneto, so I can also make baccalà, sweet gnocchi, and other delicacies typical of my region. I also enjoy “borrowing” recipes from other parts of Italy, especially Milanese risotto.
