Shared Experience
Your experience
- Risotto (with mushrooms or peppers)
- Tiramisu
Risotto is an iconic dish of northern Italian tradition. At my home, just outside Bergamo, I prepare it in two versions: with mushrooms, a classic from my family tradition, or with peppers, creamy and full of flavour.
The risotto will be accompanied by a starter to begin with and a traditional dessert, such as tiramisu, followed by coffee and a digestif.
I look forward to welcoming you to share this experience of flavour and conviviality together!

- Short version: It was perfect and we absolutely recommend everyone who wants to understand local handmade italien cuisine and considers doing this class with Alessandro to do it! Long version: The cooking class with Alessandro was amazing! He is a super open-minded and very welcoming person. He has a lot of knowledge of the local cuisine, cooking with him was a lot of fun and the result was delicious! It felt a bit like we knew each other for a longer time than just a few hours, especially when his sons joined, cooked and ate with us. We had a great evening and it was one of the best experiences of our vacation! We are looking forward to cook the receipes at home Thank you once again for this amazing evening.
- We had a great experience with Alessandro! He welcomed us into his home with open arms and we truly learned so much about pasta & tiramisu! We can’t wait to bring these recipes home and make them for family and friends.
- Alessandro is the definition of Italian hospitality. From the moment he picked us up, we truly felt like he adopted us into his family. Being a long-time resident of Bergamo, Alessandro’s passion, historical expertise, and knowledge of culinary traditions are infectious. He taught us how to make different local pasta shapes along with his family’s Ragu, inspired by Emilia Romagna. My favorite were the casoncelli, the most famous pasta in Bergamo. While the food and lessons were amazing, the highlight was spending the entire afternoon with Alessandro (and his two wonderful, hilarious sons!) We shared an epic feast with his family and drank wine and chatted for hours. The class was supposed to be over at 1, but we ended up staying together until nearly 4pm — all just enjoying our time together too much! It was one of the best experiences we’ve had during our travels. We look forward to staying in touch with Alessandro and his family, and can’t wait to come back to visit!
- We liked the guide Alessandro. He was very interesting to talk to. Also he picked recipes and ingredients iaw with our request.
- What a lovely way to spend the last day of this holiday. Alessandro was absolutely lovely and very knowledgeable about the delicious food we made. I also met his elder son who is a lovely young gentleman. I am learning Italian and this experience was wonderful as Alessandro kindly allowed me to practice speaking Italian with him. I highly recommend this experience.

Where
Alessandro
Cesarina from 2024Location: Bergamo (BG) Languages: Italian and EnglishMy name is Alessandro. I was born in Milan in 1961 to parents from Emilia. I look forward to welcoming you in the kitchen of my home on the outskirts of Bergamo, where we will prepare and enjoy local specialties together (Scarpinocc, typical Bergamasco ravioli, or Polenta Taragna) as well as dishes from my family tradition (Tagliatelle, Rosette Modenesi, Tigelle). Everything will be preceded by a variety of possible appetizers, including Reggio Emilia’s Erbazzone, and followed by a dessert, typically Tiramisu. A wide selection of wines and digestifs will also be available. An authentic, convivial, and relaxing experience, with many simple recipes you can easily recreate at home!
