Gelato x 4 - fun and tasty
We attended the course with our 15 year old, all of us really enjoyed the class. We all took part in weighing out ingredients which were then all combined into one mix for the whole class of 12. There were 4 recipes, all of which were very nice, but the chocolate one was the winner with most people in the class. Would recommend this class to anybody. Wish we had more time in Bologna to experience the pasta making class too

Best experience of the trip.
This was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy!
Grazia welcomed us into her home with incredible warmth and generosity.The class was hands on and fun, we learned traditional techniques for making fresh pasta from scratch while hearing fascinating stories about Bolognese food and culture. The lunch she prepared with the pasta we made was absolutely delicious. My picky daughters absolutely loved the vegetarian sauce she made with courgette for the tagliatelle and want to make it again at home. It was some of the most delicious pasta we've ever had, topped off with a lovely homemade dessert. Grazia's warmth, generosity, and passion for Italian cooking (and her lovely dog!) made this a truly memorable experience. Thank you so much Grazia!
Highly recommended!

Fantastic, fun and well worth the Money
Brilliant. Well worth the money.
Ala, our tutor, was really enthusiastic about his craft and passed on loads of his knowledge to us all.
Our group was a 9 but could have gone up to 12. It's in a side room off the main restaurant. The pasta dishes and the tiramisu was beautiful.
The room is quite how (we went in July when there was a heat wave) so I'd dress loosely.

Lucia and Jaya were our...
Lucia and Jaya were our hosts and instructors. They were very organized, knowledgeable, and patient with our group. We will never buy store bought pasta again. Although we did not make the ragu, they shared the ingredients and plan to send us the recipes.
We loved the company of our classmates from different countries and enjoyed eating our very own homemade pasta.
Highly recommend doing this to anyone visiting Bologna.

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!

Best Cooking Class Experience
AMAZING-MUST DO! This was our best cooking class experience. Falminia and Chef Elizabetta were so lovely and welcomed us into their home like family. This experience includes transportation from Bologna up into the green hills to their beautiful property. The views are breathtaking. Falminia gave us some history of Bologna on the drive. The class is held in their updated personal kitchen. Chef Elizabetta taught us how to make 2 pastas Tortelloni stuffed with cheese and Tagliatelle with tomatoes and onions, from scratch. You can just tell she enjoys teaching her recipes to others. Then, we ate outside on the beautiful grounds. Everything was so delicious! Falminia & Elizabetta are wonderful hosts and make the whole experience special. We would do this experience again. You will not find anything else so personal and enjoyable. Thank you so much for such an amazing time.

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!

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.

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!
