- Some friends invited us to lunch at a Cesarina’s home. As true Bolognese people, we liked the idea of having a new experience, because we had only ever heard of Cesarine. Martina immediately proved to be a kind and accommodating hostess, able to make you feel comfortable with a warm welcome. As a Bolognese native and of a certain age, I consider myself particularly demanding and was favorably impressed by how Martina proved to be a true Bolognese cook, with attention to recipes, raw materials, wine selection and, above all, execution, fully respecting tradition. The tagliatelle pasta sheet rolled out with a rolling pin to perfection. Balanzoni and gourmet tiramisu. We returned home full, happy and satisfied with the experience. Thank you Martina!
- Martina hosted us for a wonderful class. She spent much time with us to shop and then to prepare a delicious lunch! We enjoyed every aspect of our culinary experience with her. Our tagliatelle and tiramisu were so good. We had a delightful day with her!
- My family loves to cook and we wanted to learn to make pasta. I’m so glad we got paired with Martina. Taking the tour through the market and learning history about Bologna from a local was awesome. The whole lesson of making pasta, eating, and having great conversation was an amazing experience that everyone should have.
- Don’t walk. Run. Martina is an amazing host. She is authentic, She is extremely knowledgeable and has a warm approach. We made and shared a delicious meal together. Our family loved her. I highly recommend and can’t wait to return.
- Martina was a lovely host and very patient with us novices at making pasta and Tiramisu. Her English is excellent, for which we were very grateful.

Martina
Cesarina from 2022Location: Bologna (BO) Languages: Italian, English, French"It all started in kindergarten, I just wanted to be in the kitchen helping the cook and never in class. I grew up in a small town on the Bolognese Apennines, at my grandparents' house. From Nonna Giuliana I learned what it means to show your love for the family through the kitchen, gathering for the Sunday lunch ritual. From Rina, a special woman who I describe as 'everything I have not', I learned to welcome and take care of people naturally, at any time. When I was a child I was enchanted to observe their movements, their hands and I tried to imitate them. Knead, mix, wait and see the results. I open the doors of my home to convey what I have learned, accompanying my guests on a journey between past, present and future."
