5.0
Hands-on cooking class with bruschetta, 3 recipes (starter, pasta and dessert)
Private Experience
Your experience
- Fried crescentine
- Tagliatelle
- Tiramisù with coffee and cocoa
I look forward to hosting you for a unique and authentic experience immersed in the tradition of homemade pasta. Our culinary journey will begin with preparing bruschettas, with seasonal products, and the dough for crescentine and tagliatelle. As the dough rests, we'll focus on crafting the dessert. Next, we'll roll out the dough for the Crescentine and the egg pasta for the Tagliatelle. The Crescentine will be instantly dunked into boiling oil, ready to be savored as an appetizer along with a selection of cured meats and cheeses. Depending on your chosen menu, traditional or vegetarian, the Tagliatelle will be enriched with either a hearty ragù or a vegetable sauce. I invite you to seize this opportunity to live an authentic gastronomic experience, rich in flavors and history.

- The most amazing cooking class ever. We highly recommend.
- A Truly Unforgettable Cooking Experience with Paola in Bologna Taking a cooking class with Paola was one of the absolute highlights of our time in Bologna. From the moment we stepped into her beautiful home, we were welcomed not only as guests, but as friends. Paola opened her kitchen and her heart to us, guiding us through a hands-on cooking experience that was as joyful as it was delicious. We learned how to make a delicate squash soufflé, a perfectly crispy and tender cotoletta, and a indulgent, creamy tiramisu - each dish full of flavor, tradition, and love. Cooking with Paola felt like being part of a true Italian family. We laughed, shared stories, and sat down afterwards to enjoy the meal we made together - which was truly one of the best we had in Italy. This was more than just a cooking class; it was a cultural exchange and the beginning of a new friendship. I wholeheartedly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Bologna. If you're looking for something genuine, personal, and deeply satisfying — both for your palate and your heart — don't miss cooking with Paola.
- Ottima esperienza. Paola è un'ottima hostess
- An intriguing person with a unique and elegant apartment, Paola gently guided us through the pasta-making process—and showed us how to make the BEST tiramisu we have ever had.
- We had such a fun night learning pasta making techniques and how to create light and perfectly sweet tiramisu from our warm and welcoming hostess Paola! She created an unforgettable experience for us and we would highly recommend adding a stop at her beautiful home to your Bologna itinerary!
