Hi from 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!

This cooking class was an absolute delight! Learning from a local Cesarina made the experience feel authentic and intimate. The highlight was discovering the true spaghetti Bolognese—not the ragù version most people expect, but the traditional recipe with tuna. It was fascinating to learn the history behind the dish and the special techniques passed down through generations. The class was hands-on and well-structured, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in Italian culinary traditions. Making homemade gelato without an ice cream maker was a fun and rewarding challenge, and the final tasting on the terrace, accompanied by prosecco, was the perfect way to end the experience. The host was knowledgeable, warm, and passionate about sharing her family recipes. Whether you’re a food lover or just looking for a unique activity in Italy, this class is a must! Highly recommended!
