How lucky of us to find Paola. It was the Saturday before Buona Pasqua and there on https://cesarine.com/en was the perfect menu that we were seeking for our Bologna cooking experience! What made it perfect? The chef, her menu, the location, the environment, the instruction, and the history of each item we prepared together. What a beautiful day we had with Paola in her lovely kitchen learning how to make “real” Bolognese sauce and creating beautiful pasta to serve it on. We had so much fun getting to know each other. All was capped off with a lovely lunch served in her beautiful home. We now have both the knowledge and understanding of what it takes to create what Bologna is so famous for. Paolo, thank you again for such a delightful day.

Abbiamo seguito un meraviglioso corso di cucina con una padrona di casa meravigliosa. Ci siamo divertiti moltissimo a cucinare con Paola e sicuramente torneremo per seguire un altro corso. Grazie mille.

It was an amazing experience. Paola was a wonderful host and was great at teaching us how to make the pasta and also shared the recipes. In addition, the tiramisu was really delicious. I would definitely recommed taking a class with Paola.

Paola was a great host. She welcomed us in her cozy and charming house to teach me and my partner how to make tortelone, tagliatelle, and tiramisu. She was very patient and explained all the steps in a perfect English. The food was delicious. She made us some appetisers such as bruschetta and focaccia with ricotta and olives. The experience was delightful and it was a pleasure to meet Paola. We super recommend it, it was a 10/10.

Bella Esperienza, utile e piacevole. Paola ci ha accolti calorosamente e ci ha guidato con pazienza nella realizzazione dei nostri tortellini che poi abbiamo gustato felici per essere riusciti così rapidamente ad imparare a farli. Esperienza eccezionale da consigliare e ripetere.
