How lucky of us to find Paola. It was the Saturday before Buona Pasqua and there on https://cesarine.com/en was the perfect menu that we were seeking for our Bologna cooking experience! What made it perfect? The chef, her menu, the location, the environment, the instruction, and the history of each item we prepared together. What a beautiful day we had with Paola in her lovely kitchen learning how to make “real” Bolognese sauce and creating beautiful pasta to serve it on. We had so much fun getting to know each other. All was capped off with a lovely lunch served in her beautiful home. We now have both the knowledge and understanding of what it takes to create what Bologna is so famous for. Paolo, thank you again for such a delightful day.

My partner and I did a private cooking class with Paola, and it honestly exceeded all our expectations! Paola was super friendly, spoke great English, and was such a great teacher. We had so much fun making Piadina, Tortelloni, and Tiramisu, and we learned a ton, not just about the cooking process but also the history behind the dishes. The atmosphere was really cozy and welcoming, and Paola had even prepared some delicious appetizers for us ahead of time, which was such a nice surprise. When it came time to eat, the table was beautifully set, and everything tasted amazing! This class definitely inspired me to keep practicing these classic Italian dishes at home. Thank you so much, Paola, for such a fun and memorable experience!

Abbiamo seguito un meraviglioso corso di cucina con una padrona di casa meravigliosa. Ci siamo divertiti moltissimo a cucinare con Paola e sicuramente torneremo per seguire un altro corso. Grazie mille.

It was an amazing experience. Paola was a wonderful host and was great at teaching us how to make the pasta and also shared the recipes. In addition, the tiramisu was really delicious. I would definitely recommed taking a class with Paola.

Questo è stato il mio miglior corso di cucina in assoluto. Non ho solo imparato a cucinare (farina, pasta, tagliatelle o ragù alla bolognese). Ho imparato a cucinare come le nostre nonne. In altre parole, ho imparato a cucinare con il cuore e con l'anima! Sembra esagerato, ma è vero! Grazie mille Paola Tassi !!!
