Take a seat at the cozy tables of the Cesarine to savor forgotten recipes that have been treasured and handed down for generations.
During this cooking class at my home, the Cesarina Rosa in downtown Bologna, you will learn to prepare 3 typical Bolognese fresh pasta recipes.
Under my guidance, you will learn how to make the dough, roll out the pastry and prepare fresh pasta following my family's recipes.
Each participant will have his or her own station and will work actively, will be provided with a handout where the recipes will be explained, with ingredients and steps.
At the end of the class we will taste what we have prepared together, with local wines.

- Taking a cooking class with Rosa felt like being invited into your mom’s best friends house. We had a blast, and it instantly felt comfortable and at home. The food was amazing, and I already bought the few tools I need to make them again at my house! Cannot recommend Rosa enough!
- I am visiting Italy for the first time and barely speak Italian. Even so, Rosa was extremely welcoming and made me feel at home. She helped me learn different pasta shapes and fillings in a constructive way. In the end, the pasta was amazing and this class was the highlight of the trip. If you are looking for a homely meal with an extremely kind person to guide your lesson, Rosa is the person for you.
- My son and I did a pasta and Tiramisu class with Rosa. She was a wonderful teacher and we had so much fun. She was very friendly, knowledgeable, and patient. I highly recommend this activity.
- Really authentic cooking class with a very friendly host! Rosa made us feel at home and made sure that we didn't leave hungry. We also really appreciated thst she only spoke Italian with us even though our Italian wasn't perfect. We would definitely book this course again!
- We had a wonderful time cooking at Rosa’s. My friend and I learned how to make three kinds of pasta, and Rosa walked us through every step. She is so warm and helpful, a terrific teacher and host. Her kitchen was large and well equipped. While the pasta “rested” before being rolled out, she opened wine and made us a snack of mini pizzas. Delightful! Our final results were delicious as well. Tagliatelle with ragu, tortoloni with ricotta and parsley, and small button pasta filled with shrimp. Delicious and fun! I suggest having your class early in your trip, as Rosa has lots of great restaurants and sites to recommend. The class with her was really special.

Cesarina from 2018Location: Bologna (BO) Languages: Italian and EnglishI live on the outskirts of Bologna, surrounded by greenery, together with my two cats, Tony and Gino, whose playful personalities always keep the house full of life. I am a lawyer by profession, but I have always loved cooking and the culinary traditions of Bologna, which are an important part of my life. In my free time, I enjoy preparing the classic dishes of our cuisine, sometimes adding a personal touch, and sharing these moments with friends and guests in a warm and authentic atmosphere.
