Private cooking class: bruschetta and fresh pasta
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.

- 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!
- I attended the cooking class with my 13yo daughter, because we were both curious how the proper ragú al bolognese is prepared. With Paola not only we learnt two types of ragú but also two types of pasta. In her lovely house and beautiful kitchen she led us through the process with love and patience. She also prepared some delicious antipasto. Paola is a great cook, perfect teacher and really good companion for a chat, too. I hope, Paola had great time with us as we had with her. Thank you very much! Hope to be back soon for other delicious recipes. P.S. I have already cooked your ragú and tried the mortadella mousse. Marvelous! ❤️
- How lucky of us to find Paola. It was the Saturday before Buona Pasqua and there on https://cesarine.com/en was the perfect menu that we were seeking for our Bologna cooking experience! What made it perfect? The chef, her menu, the location, the environment, the instruction, and the history of each item we prepared together. What a beautiful day we had with Paola in her lovely kitchen learning how to make “real” Bolognese sauce and creating beautiful pasta to serve it on. We had so much fun getting to know each other. All was capped off with a lovely lunch served in her beautiful home. We now have both the knowledge and understanding of what it takes to create what Bologna is so famous for. Paolo, thank you again for such a delightful day.
- Abbiamo seguito un meraviglioso corso di cucina con una padrona di casa meravigliosa. Ci siamo divertiti moltissimo a cucinare con Paola e sicuramente torneremo per seguire un altro corso. Grazie mille.
