Cooking class: learn how to cook traditional & innovative Italian recipes from a local Cesarina
Shared Experience
Your experience
Discover the authentic flavors of Emilia with homemade tigelle and tagliatelle! We will knead traditional tigelle and prepare Modenese pesto. Then we will taste the tigelle with local cured meats, cheeses, sauces and jams. We will make fresh pasta together: we will roll out the dough with a rolling pin and cut tagliatelle with a knife, according to tradition. After cooking, we will enjoy the prepared dishes accompanied by excellent wines such as Lambrusco or Prosecco. We will end with a tiramisu made by us and a good coffee. I am waiting for you in my house in the hills of Bologna, surrounded by nature, for a typical, genuine and even vegetarian dining experience upon request!

- I can’t say enough wonderful things about our this experience. It was truly the highlight of our trip. Roberta was so warm and welcoming. We got to choose the type of pasta we wanted to learn how to make and we learned her mother’s recipe for tiramisu. She even placed a candle in the tiramisu to celebrate my son’s birthday. One of my favorite pics is when she gave a kiss to his head. We really felt like we were in Nona’s kitchen. We had so much fun learning all the details of making, kneading, and rolling out the pasta. We also enjoyed delicious wine and espresso over conversations. The food, the company, the culture, the conversation, the whole experience is something we will forever remember. Roberta also shared the recipes with us so we can continue to enjoy this experience even after we arrive back home. 10/10 I would recommend this to anyone visiting Bologna. My son and I have not stopped talking about this all day! ——- Non posso che descrivere questa esperienza meravigliosa. È stata davvero il momento clou del nostro viaggio. Roberta è stata così calorosa e accogliente. Abbiamo potuto scegliere il tipo di pasta che volevamo imparare a fare e abbiamo imparato la ricetta del tiramisù di sua madre. Ha persino messo una candelina nel tiramisù per festeggiare il compleanno di mio figlio. Una delle mie foto preferite è quella in cui gli ha dato un bacio sulla testa. Ci siamo sentiti davvero come nella cucina della nonna. Ci siamo divertiti tantissimo a imparare tutti i dettagli su come preparare, impastare e stendere la pasta. Abbiamo anche gustato un delizioso vino e un espresso chiacchierando. Il cibo, la compagnia, la cultura, le conversazioni, l'intera esperienza è qualcosa che ricorderemo per sempre. Roberta ha anche condiviso le ricette con noi, così possiamo continuare a goderci questa esperienza anche una volta tornati a casa. 10/10 Lo consiglierei a chiunque visiti Bologna. Io e mio figlio non abbiamo smesso di parlarne per tutto il giorno!

- Roberta was very welcoming! Her home and location of the cooking class was very beautiful. Everything was set up in her kitchen which was a culinary dream! My daughter (14yr) my aunt and I enjoyed learning to make tortelloni and ravioli and tiramisu. Roberta spoke English very well and was easy to follow with the cooking. All parts of the dish were hands on from pasta to filling of pasta and all dessert ingredients. The food was simple, yet incredible flavorful! We absolutely enjoyed our experience and would highly recommend Roberta’s class to anyone interested in traditional Italian pasta!
- Roberta was an amazing host! She was so patient with my 2 girls. The gelato was so delicious and the whole process was easy to understand. She had fresh fruit, a delicious sparkling wine, and refreshments ready for us. Definitely recommend booking a lesson with Roberta!

Where
Roberta
Cesarina from 2023Location: Bologna Languages: Italian, English, FrenchI love my kitchen both as a space and as a working environment. I enjoy getting my hands in the dough to make pasta, including thin sheets and shortcrust pastry. Being Tuscan, my cuisine is a blend of Tuscan and Emiliana traditions. From the typical lasagna and tagliatelle to the classic Tuscan pappa al pomodoro, my kitchen represents a fusion of these regional influences. The journey through traditional flavors continues with favorites like tiramisu and the iconic Prato biscuits, perfect for dipping into Vin Santo. My kitchen reflects my passion for tradition and the joy of sharing these gastronomic pleasures with others.
