Hi from Oriana!

Oriana, our Cesarina, lives within walking distance of one of the most historically rich and picturesque places in Bologna, the Basilica di Santo Stefano. Here, in one of the most beloved areas of the historic town, by both Bolognese and tourists, Oriana introduces us to her family: Salvatore, her husband, and their four children that they love to pamper by cooking them healthy meals, while passing on the family recipes.Oriana is originally from Naples, but living in Bologna, she has learned how to make sfoglia, the typical local pasta, and ragù alla Bolognese. She delights in choosing the best cuts of meat to prepare her excellent bollito, or boiled meat, and for the smallest of her daughters, a lover of tortellini, she cooks this local pasta strictly in meat broth.

We were very lucky having Oriana as a very hospitable and warm person. My daughter enjoyed so much to cook pasta with Oriana, even she is only 3 years old. She felt like home, as Oriana shared the finest recipe of tagliatelle, shared secrets, tricks and tips, but also gave presents to her(toys and Jackets from her daughters). We also exchanged stories about Romania and Italy, enjoyed tasty wine, homemade pastry and parmezano. We had a fantastic 4 hour class in Oriana s house. We highly recommend this cooking experience with Oriana. A truly and whole harty recommenation. We all had a great and memorable time in Bologna.

We had an amazing day with Oriana and would highly recommend the experience! We stated the day off with touring some local food markets, and then were welcomed into Oriana’s beautiful home. Our cooking lesson included making mortadella mouse, pasta and tiramisu. Oriana was lovely and we would definitely sign up for this experience again!

Oriana è una donna miracolosa e una cuoca perfetta. Per quanto riguarda il cibo, la lezione più importante che ho imparato è che non è il sale a dare gusto al cibo, ma gli ingredienti freschi e di buona qualità, ma anche cucinare con piacere e gioia! Oriana, sono così felice di averti incontrata, sei meravigliosa! Propongo di fare il tiramisù nei prossimi giorni! Ho ancora un po' paura dell'impasto, ma prometto che farò anche la pasta! Ti abbraccio teneramente, Marina!💓🤗

I booked this class with Oriana as part of a father-son Italy trip. Oriana gave us such a warm welcome into her home. We spent some time talking before diving into the pasta making class. Oriana is a very positive person and always wanted to make sure we were enjoying the experience. She also served us wine and appetizers while the dough was resting. We learned so much from Oriana and had an amazing experience. We made tagliatelle, pappardelle, and tortelloni, which we enjoyed for luch. Oriana made different sauces for each type of pasta, and everything was so delicious. This is a great way to spend a few hours to gain a deeper understanding of local Bologna food and culture, all while having a great time together and a lot of laughs. I highly recommend Oriana and look forward to taking another class with her during our next trip!
