- E stato propio come pensavo cioè invitare persone a casa mia e non in un banale ristorante, e con Paola oltre alla delicatezza di essersi introdotta nelle nostre conversazioni, anche il menu' eccellente.
- We had a great time making pasta and tiramisu with Paola. She was extremely patient with our lack of cocking skills, spoke perfect English and told us lots of tricks that we can apply at home. Nonetheless, food was delicious, much better than what we tried in restaurants, so we can fully recommend the experience.
- Paola was an amazing teacher who taught us not only how to make tortellini by hand, but the history behind of food in Bologna. Well worth the trip.
- Ho partecipato al corso di tortellini insieme a mia mamma e l'esperienza è stata davvero speciale. Non possiamo dire di essere rimaste entusiaste, ma di più! Paola ci ha accolte con calore e grande entusiasmo nella sua splendida casa, guidandoci passo dopo passo con molta pazienza e passione. È stata un'esperienza che ci ha coinvolto completamente e che consigliamo assolutamente a chiunque voglia vivere un momento autentico e divertente.
- What a lovely experience learning to make lasagna bolognese with Paola. After 4 weeks of travel, the day was like a breath of fresh air. Spending the day cooking and meeting a new friend. Sitting down in her beautiful table and having a home cooked meal was perfect. I learned a lot about local cuisine. I love how food is a great unifier across the world. We all enjoy the love & traditions conveyed in the kitchen. I intend to make this with my kids when we get home!! Perhaps a new holiday tradition for us now. Grazie Paola❣️
