Alessandro
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!

- We had a lovely evening with Alessandro and we were joined by his two charming sons.we learnt to make pasta, tagliatelle and the local version of ravioli. The results were delicious and we may well repeat the recipes at home. The course is great fun and we highly recommend it
- Short version: It was perfect and we absolutely recommend everyone who wants to understand local handmade italien cuisine and considers doing this class with Alessandro to do it! Long version: The cooking class with Alessandro was amazing! He is a super open-minded and very welcoming person. He has a lot of knowledge of the local cuisine, cooking with him was a lot of fun and the result was delicious! It felt a bit like we knew each other for a longer time than just a few hours, especially when his sons joined, cooked and ate with us. We had a great evening and it was one of the best experiences of our vacation! We are looking forward to cook the receipes at home Thank you once again for this amazing evening.
- Our pasta-making experience at Alessandro’s home was one of the highlights of our trip. From the moment we arrived, Alessandro and his wonderful family made us feel completely at home. It wasn’t just a cooking class, it felt like being welcomed into a family tradition. They generously shared recipes that have been passed down through generations, along with the stories and passion behind them, making the experience truly special. We learned how to make fresh pasta from scratch, enjoyed a delicious meal together, and even received fantastic recommendations for local shops where we could buy authentic salami, cheeses, and other regional specialties to take home. If you’re looking for an authentic Italian experience filled with warmth, great food, and genuine hospitality, we couldn’t recommend this enough. Thank you, Alessandro and your family, for an unforgettable evening!
- Wonderful time with the father and sons. Fantastic engagement with hosts as people. We learned a lot about making local specialty pasta. Plus the food was great and the recipes easy to follow. We have a new favorite summer dessert. Arrive hungry. Experience truly made easy by pickup and drop off. Highly recommend this unique Bergamo 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.
