Federica

The restoration of paintings and frescoes is my profession, but my true passion is cooking. The attention to detail required in my work is the same precision I bring to my handmade pasta—tagliatelle, lasagne, tortellini, and tortelloni—all rigorously prepared with fresh dough rolled by hand using a rolling pin.My specialty is ragù alla Bolognese, while for main courses, I love preparing traditional dishes from my region, Emilia-Romagna, such as roasts and meatballs. Vegetables are always present on my table, often with a touch of Neapolitan influence, which also inspires me to prepare some delicious seafood dishes.The view from my home, just outside the center of Bologna and near the Portico di San Luca, is simply breathtaking—I look forward to welcoming you to admire it together!

Wonderful experience. Federica welcomed us into her home, guiding us with her expertise and simplicity to discover typical Bolognese dishes. Her lasagna was so good that even our one-year-old daughter ate it. Federica was very accommodating in welcoming us into her home along with her little one.

Federica is a kind and experienced teacher and chef. I took my 2 children ages 18 and 12 and by far this was our favorite activity on our adventure in Italy. Federica has a beautiful and comfortable home. We learned how to make 4 different types of gnocchi and tagliatelle and enjoyed eating them as well. The instruction and recipes are both fun and easy to follow. We look forward to making these dishes at home for our friends and family.

A very positive experience in many ways. Federica was very welcoming and with simplicity, she managed to convey to me the pleasure of cooking with all its aspects. I am happy and also proud of the result achieved. I will definitely repeat the experience…

Federica is an excellent cook with good recipes that she happily shares. It was a clear and interesting lesson. We were all able to make some good fresh pasta. Thanks to Federica's preparations, lunch afterwards was delicious. An activity in Bologna that I recommend!
