What are people saying about Bologna

Great experience!
I would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Bologna. First of all, we were so grateful to be in the air-conditioned kitchen on a brutally hot day when air conditioning is not easy to come by in Italy. I read other reviews that said it was less of a hands-on class and more of a demonstration and I would agree. It was a lesson/demonstration during which, each participant got to do 2 tasks to help make the gelato. It was a group effort and at the end we were able to taste 4 different flavors with delectable toppings. The instructors were great teachers and the kitchen was bright and clean. Just a tip, the mall (which seemed empty at the time) is across from the parking garage in case you have trouble finding it like we did. Oh and you can have a meal at "Trattoria da me nella torre" before the class because it's only a few minutes walk away. Thank you ladies for a lovely afternoon!

Best pasta you will ever eat! And you made it yourself!!!
We spent a fabulous, fun and delicious day with our amazing hosts Silvia and Marco Donatini on the outskirts of Bologna and couldn't recommend them more highly!
Silvia was endlessly patient with our enthusiastic but fumbled attempts at creating our pasta and Marco was our fabulously ebullient host!
Three delicious pastas made lovingly by hand before we sat under an outdoor pergola with wine and sunshine to enjoy the fruits of our labour. Genuinely hard to go past as a fun experience!
Our sincere thanks to Silvia and Marco for opening their home to us! A real highlight of our time in Bologna!

This cooking class was...
This cooking class was the highlight of my trip to Bologna. Grazia was so warm and welcoming. I felt very comfortable in her beautiful home. She taught us how to make tortelloni and tagliatelle pasta. Her passion for teaching others about the food of her city was so evident. I’m so thankful for this experience and would recommend it to anyone!

Wonderful cooking experience with a local!
We are a family of 4, two adults and 2 kids and we had a wonderful experience with Paola. It was so nice to spend time with a local host in a genuine local experience (as opposed to generic tourist trap experience). Our meal was lovely and Paola's home is beautiful (a 30 min walk from the market for tour meeting spot or a shorter bus ride). 12 days in Italy and Paola's cooking experience has been their #1 favorite!

Fun pasta making & Bolognese experience
Had a fun experience with Kate and Bea. Both were friendly, courteous and knowledgeable about pasta making... and mixing drinks! Had a good group of people in the 3 hour, 3:00 class. The pasta was really good, as was the bolognese sauce that was prepared beforehand. So happy that after several trips to Italia that my friend and I final took a class, was worthwhile! And we got to take our extra tagliatelle with us to enjoy on our next stop! Thanks to Kate & Bea

5/5 ⭐️ super fun and delicious for all ages!
This was such a fun class! The kids absolutely loved the process of making the dough, rolling it and shaping the various pasta. tiramisu Was amazing. A little different technique to the dish and it was better than I thought! My kids don’t like coffee but they loved this so much. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone with or without kids. It was fantastic.

Wonderful experience in a genuine home kitchen!
Wow!! This is exactly the experience we were seeking. Pasta making class in a local home in Bologna. This is not a fancy class in a commercial kitchen - rather, it is a down to earth home kitchen with an expert pasta maker who does this for her family every day. She shared stories of how she learned to make pasta as a child, while showing our 2 & 6 year old children how to make their first pastas (tortellini, bowtie, and tagliatelle).
Our son has a severe allergy to pistachio and cashew, and our host made sure every ingredient was confirmed safe. Made us feel very comfortable!!
The pasta was delicious, and we shared the experience with some cool fellow travelers. It was fun to be in her home while her family went about their day. Her husband was our waiter, serving us local wine, along with still and sparkling water, while replacing our dishes and utensils with each meal. It was a better experience than some of the restaurants we visited.
We highly recommend!!

Entertaining and delicious pasta class!
This was such a fun and DELICIOUS experience! Our chef was so personable, patient and engaging with both adults and children. Was also really nice to meet fun people from other countries and chat while we prepared our dinner and dessert. Absolutely recommend this activity!

The most amazing cooking experience!!
Veronica provided one of the best highlights of our multi-city tour in Italy. She invested so much time in sharing her knowledge of both cooking and the city of Bologna. There were four of us and she made us feel like we were all dear friends by the end of our time together. Also, she was very patient with us and our meal turned out perfect! I learned new techniques from Veronica and we ate every last crumb of the meal we all made. 5 stars and would highly recommend!

We booked a pasta and...
We booked a pasta and tiramisu class through your company, however when we arrived our hostess instructed us that we were making lasagne. 2 other travellers also joining the group were also expecting the pasta and tiramisu class. On contacting Cesarine we were told that we had signed up for the lasagne class - it was worded in small print under the Pasta and Tiramisu heading. Very misleading!
We have nothing but praise for our hostess Olga, who was patient and kind with us. Thank you for a lovely lunch!

Fantastic Class for Lasagna and Gelato
Our cooking class making lasagna and gelato with Monia was fantastic. She explained each step very well, and was happy to assist when we needed assistance or had any questions. We were only in Bologna for one day, but we would definitely take another class with her. Also, we are excited to take the recipes home to make the again.

Absolutely the Best!!!
My wife and I cannot recommend this experience highly enough. If we could give it more than 5 stars, we would!! Irene was absolutely fabulous as a host and teacher. Her patience and encouragement of our efforts made the experience so much fun and the lunch that followed was absolutely delicious as we ate the fruits of our labours. The bolognese sauce we had with tagaliatelle was absolutely delicious, far better than what we had the previous evening at a restaurant. We cannot recommend this tour highly enough if you want an authentic experience on your visit to this beautiful city! Thank you, Irene, we can’t wait to try out our new pasta making skills once we get home!
