Shared Experience
Your experience
I will welcome you to my elegant ground-floor flat, complete with a relaxing garden, for an authentic Bolognese experience. We’ll start with a small welcome aperitif to get us straight into a convivial atmosphere.
Together we’ll prepare both the ricotta-filled pappardelle from scratch, rolling out the pasta by hand, and the traditional Bolognese ravioli with plum jam.
After cooking, we’ll enjoy everything together: the pappardelle with a fragrant fresh tomato sauce, accompanied by local wine, and the ravioli as a dessert. We’ll finish with a good coffee.
An intimate, elegant and authentic experience at the heart of tradition.

- We stayed in Bologna for a couple of nights and this experience with Olga was the most memorable. I’m not the best cook and with her warm personality I was able to make my own pasta! Recommend her class 100%.
- The experience with Olga was amazing. From the moment we arrived until the time we left, we felt welcomed by Olga in her home. Her expertise, friendly-ness and patience with us making pasta for the first time was absolutely lovely. You can tell Olga is passionate about cooking and we felt blessed to be able to learn from such an artist. I would highly recommend taking a class with Olga!
- Olga was phenomenal. This was our 6th trip to Italy, and this cooking class was the most interesting thing we have done so far. Olga was so informative and fun. I cannot recommend her class more.
- We loved cooking with Olga! She is funny, very knowledgeable about food information the region and helped us learn the techniques for making great pasta and tiramisu!

Cesarina from 2026Location: Bologna (BO) Languages: Italian, English, SpanishMy cooking always starts with handmade pasta — that slow, precise gesture of rolling out the dough, choosing the right shape, feeling the mixture come to life between your fingers. Traditional Italian first courses are my greatest love: I prepare them with care, pairing them with rich, fragrant sauces built on simple ingredients and plenty of time. And it never ends without something sweet: from the great classics to my lighter variations, because a meal without a little sweetness at the end isn't really complete.
