- Pink gnocchi (with mortadella)
- Dietrich-style omelette
Marlene Dietrich, with her sensual and deep voice, left an indelible mark on the history of film, music, fashion, style and the way femininity was conceived. Although her androgynous charm and ease in wearing masculine clothes, she was a strong, seductive, beautiful and talented woman who defied male laws. Famous are her portraits with a cigarette in her hand, which for those years were an expression of female emancipation.
In an environment of absolute intellectual freedom, we pay homage to the strong femininity of this woman through a coocking class pink: pink (bologna) dumplings and her famous "Dietrich omelet."

- Maurizio was a lovely host. He made us very welcome in his home. The class was very relaxed and he got you on board cooking. He gave us some great tips on how best to make pasta dough. Layer the lasagne and use butter on the top to get a crunch. I would definitely text a class with Maurizio
- What can I say, a fantastic experience. Maurizio is a wonderful person, from the beginning he made us feel at home, welcoming us into his marvelous home! Between laughs and a few anecdotes here and there, he revealed and showed us the secrets to making proper homemade pasta; the sauces he prepared were DIVINE! My sister Giulia, my mother Paola, and I thank him very much again for the fantastic experience he gave us!
- We had such a fun evening cooking with Maurizio! He and Marco were lovely hosts who made us feel welcome and comfortable in their beautiful home. And we learned so much about making pasta by hand! I highly recommend this cooking experience with Maurizio.
- It was a fantastic experience! We asked to organize a small cooking challenge between coworkers. Maurizio welcomed us into his delightful home, immediately made us feel comfortable, the atmosphere was fun and familiar… and after a generous aperitivo (all homemade) accompanied by excellent sparkling wine, we “got our hands dirty.” Maurizio guided us through this experience, telling us about the origins and giving us tips for rolling out the pasta perfectly… and once finished, we cooked and savored our creations, continuing to toast. The winner was declared (awarded with a very original gadget) and we also tasted a cake whose secret recipe is part of Maurizio’s family heritage – we can only say that it was truly amazing. The day was truly enjoyable. It was exactly what we needed: hospitality, sharing, and fun. An experience to recommend and repeat!
- Maurizio and Marco were absolutely delightful guides and hosts — they were warm, kind, and most importantly, made sure to complete my Bologna experience with the best food in town. Maurizio's tagliatelle is exquisite — but what I'll remember are a lovely pair of tour guides who made my solo trip through Italy just a little more memorable. Highly recommended for other LGBTQ+ travelers looking for a sense of community as they make their way through Bologna.
