Cooking class: you will learn to prepare a traditional dish with a tasting of the recipe prepared during the course, accompanied by a glass of wine
In a shared experience, other guests may be added, up to the maximum number of people that the host can accommodate. Therefore you may have the opportunity to share your passion for good food and cooking with other people from all over the world!
I am Paola, Cesarina from Bologna, and I await for you at my home to spend an evening discovering balanzoni, a stuffed pasta that is a symbol of our tradition.
Together, we will learn the secrets and tricks to prepare this dish. This fresh pasta stuffed with mortadella takes its name from Balanzone, a mask of Bolognese origin and an official character of the local carnival.
After the course we will taste the balanzoni, pairing them with a good glass of wine. It will be a unique opportunity to share an evening together and meet new people. I look forward to seeing you!

- Best cooking experience on our 2 week food tour of Italy. Paulo was an excellent teacher. Great setting ot her home. I highly recommend.
- Our private pasta making class and dinner with Paola was PERFECTO! She has a lovely and inviting home and personality! Her English was great too and very friendly and easy to communicate with. The entire meal was excellent from start to finish and she did a great job teaching us how to make the pasta. We definitely didn’t walk away hungry! We left with full bellies and big smiles! A great experience from start to finish! BRAVO!
