- Rosa gave me a wonderful experience during my stay in Bologna, and it is now a fond memory. I went empty-handed, but everything was provided for me, even an apron. During the class, I learned not only how to cook, but also local information, recommendations for delicious restaurants, and many other topics, and the conversations were very enjoyable. The teacher was good at giving compliments. She also took lots of photos and videos, which I was very happy to be able to look back on later. At the end, she sent me recipes for the dishes I made, as well as other recipes. Thank you very much.
- Incontrare Rosa è stato come incontrare un'anima gemella, perché è una persona davvero gentile. È un dato di fatto che Adriano e io ci sentiamo a casa. Una chef meravigliosa e una persona molto intelligente. Passeremo un bellissimo pomeriggio nella tua cucina, se conosci la cugina Rosa, verrò a casa tua tutti i giorni per un mese haha.
- Rosa was a great host, very knowledgable and friendly, welcoming us into her home. We had fun making pasta and tiramisu whilst the cat watched. Fabulous experience 💙😀
- Absolutely unforgettable! Our evening with Rosa was the perfect way to celebrate 10 years of marriage. From the moment we arrived, Rosa welcomed us like family. We kicked things off with a glass of champagne and a delicious appetizer, and before we knew it, we were elbow-deep in fresh pasta dough, laughing and learning together. Rosa’s warmth, knowledge, and passion for cooking made us feel completely at home. She embodies the very best of Bolognese hospitality—and her food? Simply extraordinary. This is a memory Emily and I will cherish forever. We can’t wait to bring a bit of Rosa’s kitchen into our own home and start making pasta with our kids. Grazie mille, Rosa! —Nick & Emily P.S. Please send our thanks to Gino and Tony Stark too
- We had an amazing time with Rosa! She was such an amazing host and taught us so much! We were in Bologna as part of my birthday trip and Rosa kindly also prepared some birthday pizzas to celebrate! All the food was absolutely delicious and we can’t wait to make everything at home again!
