Shared Experience
Your experience
Welcome to my home in Bologna! I’ll be delighted to welcome you with warmth and hospitality to my bright fifth-floor flat, overlooking greenery and boasting a splendid panoramic view of the park. Together we’ll prepare some of the most beloved traditional Emilian recipes from scratch: handmade tortelloni, fresh tagliatelle rolled out with a rolling pin, and classic Italian tiramisu. I’ll welcome you with a little aperitif and, after the cooking class, we’ll enjoy what we’ve created together, accompanied by a good bottle of local wine and an authentic Italian coffee. A genuine, relaxed experience, rich in flavours.

- Olga was so kind and knowledgeable! Learning from her felt like cooking with a friend. I’ve left my lesson with an improved understanding of the mechanics of pasta making, some Bologna recommendations, a full stomach, and light spirits from friendly conversation. I highly recommend Olga to anyone looking for a Bolognese cooking class, I had so much fun!
- Olga was an amazing host and an even better teacher. Her class was the highlight of our trip to Bologna, and we would definitely recommend her as a passionate and knowledgeable chef. She even continued with our class despite a recent injury, and we really appreciated her dedication.
- Olga’s private pasta making class was one of my favorite experiences in Bologna. The setting in a real local home made it feel so authentic and gave the whole experience a very different feel from a typical cooking class. We made three different pasta shapes, and Olga was such a patient and knowledgeable teacher. She really paid attention to my technique and taught me all the little details that make a difference. The best part, of course, was eating the fresh pasta we had made! We had such a nice time chatting about Italy, Bologna, food, traditions, and life. Such a warm, fun, and memorable experience. Olga definitely made me want to cook! ❤️
- Olga is unbelievably knowledgeable, skillful, warm and hospitable. I will practice and treasure the recipes and techniques she gave.
- Olga was amazing!! So knowledgeable and helpful. My friend and I went and had the best time. Olga is not just an amazing chef but also a great person. Had the best time cooking and talking!

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.
