Shared Experience
Your experience
A cooking class dedicated to the desserts that symbolize Italian Carnival, designed to share a moment of joy, aromas, and tradition. We will start by preparing sfrappole, one of the great classics of the Carnival period: thin strips of dough that we will fry until they are light and crispy, then sprinkle with powdered sugar. We will continue with rice fritters, soft and fragrant desserts made with rice cooked in milk, beloved not only during Carnival but also on Father's Day. We will fry them until they are soft and golden. We will conclude the experience by tasting freshly made sfrappole and fritters together, accompanied by a glass of prosecco and a good coffee, in a convivial and authentic atmosphere.

- It was a wonderful experience. I really appreciated your kindness, availability, openness, and conviviality with which you welcomed me. You can feel all your professionalism and the care you put into even the details, and that is something rare. I was really very well, I laughed a lot and felt completely at ease… so much so that I would do it again immediately! Thank you again for everything, truly. I hope to see you again soon and have another opportunity to share such a pleasant moment together. Warm regards 🌷 Olga
- Thank you so much for the wonderful pasta making class at your beautiful home. Richard and I attended on March 19th. Now that we’re home from our travels we’d like to ask about the recipes you offered. We’d appreciate anything you can send including the pasta, ravioli filling, tomato sauce, appetizer, etc. and anything else! It was all so delicious we’d like to try some at home. Thanks again for making our holiday very special!
- Chef Roberta is a very skilled cook and we had a wonderful time at her home and for the cooking class. I highly recommend Chef Roberta for an authentic Italian food experience!!
- Roberta is truly a special Cesarina. She is a super welcoming and kind person. I prepared tagliatelle, tortelloni, and tiramisu with her, all excellent and plentiful! We chatted a lot, she answered all my questions, guided me in rolling out the pasta, and gave me valuable culinary advice. Highly recommended!
- Roberta was so inviting, warm and fun. Her recipes were top tier delicious and the chance to learn so much and try such a variety of things was a delight. 10/10 would recommend doing this and we would sign up again too. She makes you feel excited to learn and welcome to try new things!

Where
Roberta
Cesarina from 2023Location: Bologna (BO) 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.
