Hi from Elena!

One perspectives we can have of Bologna is from above, enjoying the view from the city’s towers and monuments, from its hills and terraces of various local places, and from the enchanting terrace in the home of our Cesarina, Elena. From here, we can admire the classic Bolognese rooftops that are tinged to an even more intense red come sunset.Here, we can experience the authentic flavor of Bologna, observing it from above and savoring its delectable cuisine.As we know, Bologna is very famous for its gastronomy. This important notoriety dates back to the Middle Ages, when the city began to welcome students and professors from all over the world to the University. This is how Bolognese cuisine became rich, abundant and very varied, not unlike Elena’s cooking. Elena’s elegant table offers up the classic aromas and flavors of the Bolognese tradition, from passatelli in brodo (fresh egg pasta in a meat broth) to 'polpettone' (meatloaf), from 'crescenta con mortadella' (flat bread with cured ham) to 'torta di risoì (sweet rice and almond cake), all following her mother’s recipes.

My specialities
  •  'Crescenta Bolognese' with mortadella and Parmesan, small fritters with onion scent
  •  Passatelli with meat broth
  •  Meatloaf

Elena and Saverio were the ultimate perfect hosts. They were ten stars👏👏👏From the moment I rang their bell to allow entrance to their amazing and lovely home, we were enthralled with their excitement to meet us and host us for a wonderful and personal Bologna rooftop experience. There was never a time we felt rushed. Once we stepped in their door we were treated like familia. The food, each course was delicious and we could tell was prepared with love and excitement for us to enjoy. The dessert, oh my, melted in our mouths. I love to cook and try new foods. This was a special evening to enjoy a Bologna treat. It would be our pleasure to return again.

Perfecto evening - September 2023
