Shared Experience
Your experience
- Traditional mix appetizers
- Green tagliatelle with ragù
- Tiramisu
I’ll welcome you into my home in the heart of Bologna, where we’ll start with an appetizer that embodies Emilia’s soul: authentic mortadella, perfectly aged Parmigiano Reggiano, and true balsamic vinegar, all paired with a glass of local wine. Then, between smiles and family stories, I’ll share with you the secret of my Grandma Luisa’s green tagliatelle with ragù. We’ll roll up our sleeves to knead fresh pasta dough while the sauce simmers slowly, filling the house with irresistible aromas. Finally, we’ll sit down together to enjoy the fruits of our work, raising a toast to life. Small groups only, because Emilian hospitality is generous, but we love to truly connect with our guests.

- We (family of 5) spent an absolutely lovely late morning/early afternoon with Veronica learning how to make Tortolani and Tagliatelle. She was a great teacher and in addition to learning to make pasta she shared a lot about Bologna and its cuisine and culture. The meal was delicious and lively - the wine was (even for a Californian wine snob) delicious and a perfect pairing. If you are in Bologna I strongly recommend!!!
- Amazing memories with family over Thanksgiving! Veronica is a warm, patient instructor, knowledgeable and friendly. One of the best cooking classes we have taken. Pasta was delicious! Thank you Veronica!
- Such an amazing experience. I came to Italy to learn how to make pasta and the 1 on 1 class really made it possible. I was able to ask questions and take notes on the process: plus we made different types of pastas and eat them with wine. I learned so much and feel confident about my ability to replicate. Making pasta from scratch is a lot more work than I expected and required attention to detail: I would not have felt satisfied in a big group class. Highly recommend.
- I had an amazing time at the group lasagna-making class! The entire evening was filled with great energy, lots of laughter, and a wonderfully welcoming atmosphere. Veronica was an exceptional host—warm, attentive, and truly passionate about sharing her love for cooking. The class was fun, well-organized, and perfect for all skill levels. We learned useful tips, cooked together as a team, and enjoyed a delicious meal at the end. The lasagna turned out fantastic, and the whole experience felt both relaxing and inspiring. I’d highly recommend this course to anyone looking for a memorable culinary experience. Thank you, Veronica, for a fantastic evening!
- Nothing makes me happier on a trip than getting to connect with a local, learning about their traditions, and getting to exchange worldviews. Our time with Veronica checked all those boxes, plus some pasta-making skills to take home. It was easily the most meaningful experience on our trip so far. I can't recommend it enough!

Cesarina from 2025Location: Bologna Languages: Italian and EnglishI learned the dishes of the Bolognese tradition from my grandmothers: from nettle tagliatelle (hand-rolled with a rolling pin) to lasagna, tortelloni, cannelloni, and tortellini, passing through stuffed zucchini, meatballs, Cotoletta alla Petroniana, hunter-style rabbit, and crescentine, all the way to rice cake, raviole, and the Christmas pinza. I also love experimenting with other cuisines: from the Sardinian tradition (my husband is Sardinian) to all the regional specialties of our beautiful Italy. For me, the key is always to use top-quality ingredients and pair every dish with a good wine to bring out its full flavor!
