Shared Experience

Your experience

Starting from our meeting point, we will take a short scenic walk through the center of Bergamo and then reach the Mercato Rionale in Piazza Pontida. Here we will purchase local cheeses, cold cuts, vegetables and wine. After the market, we will return to the meeting point and, by car, head to my house, located on the outskirts of the city. Here, we will savor these delicacies accompanied by tigelle, a type of round bread that I will teach you how to make and we will bake together. We will start with mouthwatering frittatas and crispy bacon as an appetizer, followed by dessert, coffee and digestifs. An authentic and convivial dining experience!

: We had a great experience with Alessandro! He welcomed us into his home with open arms and we truly learned so much about pasta & tiramisu! We can’t wait to bring these recipes home and make them for family and friends.
: Alessandro is the definition of Italian hospitality. From the moment he picked us up, we truly felt like he adopted us into his family. Being a long-time resident of Bergamo, Alessandro’s passion, historical expertise, and knowledge of culinary traditions are infectious. He taught us how to make different local pasta shapes along with his family’s Ragu, inspired by Emilia Romagna. My favorite were the casoncelli, the most famous pasta in Bergamo. While the food and lessons were amazing, the highlight was spending the entire afternoon with Alessandro (and his two wonderful, hilarious sons!) We shared an epic feast with his family and drank wine and chatted for hours. The class was supposed to be over at 1, but we ended up staying together until nearly 4pm — all just enjoying our time together too much! It was one of the best experiences we’ve had during our travels. We look forward to staying in touch with Alessandro and his family, and can’t wait to come back to visit!
: We liked the guide Alessandro. He was very interesting to talk to. Also he picked recipes and ingredients iaw with our request.
: What a lovely way to spend the last day of this holiday. Alessandro was absolutely lovely and very knowledgeable about the delicious food we made. I also met his elder son who is a lovely young gentleman. I am learning Italian and this experience was wonderful as Alessandro kindly allowed me to practice speaking Italian with him. I highly recommend this experience.
: I had a great evening with Alessandro and his family. It was very interesting to see the food prepared and then eat it along with a delicious wine. I learned a lot about the food of the region and life in Italy. It was also great fun discussing our shared interests. I would do this again without hesitation.

Alessandro

Cesarina from 2024Location: Bergamo (BG) Languages: Italian and English

My name is Alessandro. I was born in Milan in 1961 to parents from Emilia. I look forward to welcoming you in the kitchen of my home on the outskirts of Bergamo, where we will prepare and enjoy local specialties together (Scarpinocc, typical Bergamasco ravioli, or Polenta Taragna) as well as dishes from my family tradition (Tagliatelle, Rosette Modenesi, Tigelle). Everything will be preceded by a variety of possible appetizers, including Reggio Emilia’s Erbazzone, and followed by a dessert, typically Tiramisu. A wide selection of wines and digestifs will also be available. An authentic, convivial, and relaxing experience, with many simple recipes you can easily recreate at home!
