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!

- Alessandro was the perfect host. He picked us up from a square in the city and took us to his home. He started by offering us appetizers and drinks before moving on to the pasta-making and tiramisu class. We enjoyed a lovely dinner with him and his son, during which he shared the history behind the recipes and gave us printed copies to take home. I highly recommend this experience and Alessandro!
- I found the host to be knowledgeable and easy to conveatrse with. He and his family were warm and welcoming too. I felt that I learned what I needed to be comfortable to make pasta:) Over all it was a very pleasant experience.
- Our cooking class with Alessandro, focused on pasta and tiramisu, was fantastic! Alessandro was an incredibly kind and welcoming host, and he was very knowledgeable about teaching us how to make two types of pasta and tiramisu! We had so much fun! Thank you, Alessandro!!! What an amazing experience!!! Kathy and Mike Allman
- We had an amazing time cooking local dishes and learning how to cook and about the Italian culture from our chef. There was appetizers there for us to eat off of as we cooked. We cooked three separate dishes, drank wine and ate together. He picked our group of four up at a local hotel and drove us to his house to cook and dropped us off back in Bergamo. We also got to keep copies of his family recipes and we will be making them at home in the States.
- What an incredible experience we had during our private cooking lessons, and our Bergamo walking tour. We learned the history & culture of the city & Alessandro's family recipes. The food was amazing! What a treat! One of the kindest people with two wonderful sons. Alessandro's home was neat and very clean. It was easy to follow his direction and we enjoyed good conversation, wine, and food. We will definitely book againif we are in Bergamo. We left a bag at Alessandro's home anf had to go back to retrieve it. Not only was he gracious enough to travel back and forth, but he even shared his own music & kept us in good spirits. A huge thank you! Gratzie Millie!

Alessandro
Cesarina from 2024Location: Bergamo (BG) Languages: Italian and EnglishMy 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!
