Shared Experience
Your experience
- Mixed bruschetta
- Fried crescentine
- Tagliatelle
- Local traditional dessert
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.

- Wow. We weren’t entirely sure what to expect, but our time with Paola was exceptional - it absolutely exceeded any ideas we had. The setting, her home, was intimate and welcoming, much the same as her lovely personality. She is intelligent and patient. My husband does little to no cooking and was nervous about this experience. He felt welcomed and confident. Our meal was delicious. We absolutely hope to cross paths with her again.
- Paola è stata molto accogliente e ci ha rivelato i segreti della cucina bolognese tramandati direttamente dalla sua nonna. Il corso è stato molto istruttivo e alla fine abbiamo gustato le eccellenti lasagne che abbiamo preparato sotto la brillante regia di Paola. Un'esperienza fa fare per chi vuole scoprire i segreti delle varie specialità Bolognesi.
- Paola was fantastic! Very welcoming and kind. We were thoroughly impressed by her attention to detail and patience throughout the class. We learned many interesting skills that we will use once we get back home. Next time we visit Bologna, a must visit will be to take another class, perhaps her Grandmothers lasagna? All the best and Grazie Paola! Sincerely Brian McDonough
- Paola was so very pleasant and her instruction was excellent. Her home is the perfect place to learn. We enjoyed our class very much
- Wonderful experience with Paolo! We both learned so much, especially around technique for making pasta dough, rolling, and shaping. Hands on and very useful. Paolo was a wonderful host. We couldn’t have asked for better!
