Shared Experience
Your experience
A warm welcome to my home in the hills of Bologna, where you can enjoy a unique culinary experience! In three hours, you will learn how to make tagliatelle with Bolognese ragù like a real sfoglina. You will discover the secrets of fresh pasta making, working the pasta sheet with a rolling pin, a symbol of Bolognese tradition. We will begin with a welcome appetizer, followed by the preparation of the ragout and noodles. After cooking the dish, we will taste it together, accompanied by selected local wines. We will end with a homemade dessert and a good coffee! My home, elegant and welcoming, is also accessible to people with reduced mobility. A perfect opportunity to discover Bolognese cuisine in an environment with attention to detail!

- Roberta's pasta-making class was truly exceptional! From the moment we arrived, she created a warm, welcoming atmosphere that made everyone feel instantly at home. The experience began with delicious appetizers and perfectly paired wines that set the tone for an authentic Italian culinary adventure. What made this class special was Roberta's genuine passion for pasta-making, which shone through in her detailed demonstrations. As she prepared a mouthwatering ragù, she shared family secrets and techniques passed down through generations. The rich aromas filling the room were simply intoxicating! The hands-on portion was where Roberta truly excelled. She patiently guided each of us through the pasta-making process, offering personalized attention and gentle corrections. Her encouraging approach made even first-timers feel accomplished as we transformed simple ingredients into beautiful pasta. Roberta's expertise was matched only by her kindness and hospitality. She answered every question thoughtfully and shared stories that connected us to the cultural significance of the dishes we created. This class was more than a cooking lesson—it was an immersive cultural experience that left us with both delicious memories and practical skills to recreate the magic at home. Grazie mille, Roberta!

- My daughter and I had the most incredible experience in all of our travels! The cooking class with Roberta was like a fairytale. She welcomed us into her home to teach us how to make pasta, tiramisu, and gelato. She even shared other phenomenal dishes she made like her mortadella mouse and ragu! All the food was SPECTACULAR! Her passion for cooking is second to none. Roberta was very warm and personable and made this experience one that we will never forget!
- We had a wonderful experience with Roberta! She was incredibly attentive, making sure everyone felt supported and engaged throughout. The welcome food and drinks were a lovely touch and set a warm, inviting tone for the class. The dishes we prepared turned out fantastic—delicious, beautifully presented, and fun to make. It was a perfect blend of learning, hospitality, and enjoyment. Highly recommended!

Where
Roberta
Cesarina from 2023Location: Bologna Languages: Italian, English, FrenchI love my kitchen both as a space and as a working environment. I enjoy getting my hands in the dough to make pasta, including thin sheets and shortcrust pastry. Being Tuscan, my cuisine is a blend of Tuscan and Emiliana traditions. From the typical lasagna and tagliatelle to the classic Tuscan pappa al pomodoro, my kitchen represents a fusion of these regional influences. The journey through traditional flavors continues with favorites like tiramisu and the iconic Prato biscuits, perfect for dipping into Vin Santo. My kitchen reflects my passion for tradition and the joy of sharing these gastronomic pleasures with others.
