Shared Experience
Your experience
- Tortellini (homemade pasta) in meat broth
- Tortellini (homemade pasta) with Parmesan cream
- Tenerina (traditional chocolate cake) with mascarpone cream
It is said that tortellini were inspired by Venus's navel, a symbol of perfection and harmony. In this masterclass, you will enter the heart of Emilian tradition, in a typical Bolognese house just a few steps from the historic centre of Bologna and the charming Sanctuary of San Luca.
Guided step by step, you will learn how to roll out the dough by hand and fill the tortellini according to the ancient technique, then season them according to two great classic variations: in broth and in Parmigiano cream. We will conclude on a sweet note by preparing a delicious and soft torta tenerina served with mascarpone cream. An authentic, convivial and flavourful experience, allowing you to take home not only a recipe, but a piece of authentic Bolognese cuisine.

- We had such a wonderful time at this cooking class! The home was beautiful, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and it truly felt like being welcomed into someone’s home rather than attending a formal class. We learned how to make two types of pasta and an absolutely delicious tiramisu. My husband normally does not like tiramisu, but this was the first time he truly enjoyed it! Our hosts (Laura and Antonio) were incredibly friendly and very accommodating with our 20-month-old grandson. It was a lovely, memorable experience, and we would happily recommend this class to anyone visiting Bologna.
- Laura's class was PERFECT! She and Antonio are great teachers, their home is wonderfully inviting, and the meal was spectacular. We can't wait to go home and try it ourselves! We would absolutely take another class with Laura!
- Laura's cooking class was one of the highlights of our trip to Bologna! From the moment we arrived, Laura made us feel so welcome. She was incredibly friendly, patient, and kind, making us feel comfortable even though our English isn't very good. Her son, Antonio, was also very friendly and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. We loved learning how to make three different kinds of fresh pasta completely from scratch. It was an authentic, hands-on experience that we'll never forget. The pasta we made tasted amazing and paired perfectly with the delicious wine. We also received the recipes, so we're definitely going to recreate these dishes when we get home. Thank you, Laura and Antonio, for your wonderful hospitality and for sharing your passion for Italian cooking with us. We highly recommend Laura's cooking class to anyone visiting Bologna!
- We had a great experience with Laura! She is a great teacher, cook, and hostess. We are grateful to have been welcomed into her home for such a genuine (and fun!) experience. For anyone looking for a impactful Bolognese experience, I would recommend it!
- I was having a great pasta-making-experience with Laura and Antonio. It was a lot of fun to make the pasta and Laura and Antonio was great teatchers. They are so sweet and openminded people and the pasta was very good. I will recomend this experience to everbody who visits Bologna in the future. Thanks!!!

Cesarina from 2025Location: Bologna (BO) Languages: Italian and EnglishI love cooking risottos, tagliatelle with ragù, carbonara, seafood pastas, as well as meat and fish prepared in different ways, and of course gratin vegetables and various desserts. I’m originally from Veneto, so I can also make baccalà, sweet gnocchi, and other delicacies typical of my region. I also enjoy “borrowing” recipes from other parts of Italy, especially Milanese risotto.
