Cesarine: Private Pasta Class & Meal at Local's Home in Bologna

Jody_D, Jun 2026

A Highlight of Our Trip

This was one of the highlights of our two week trip to Italy. We made the best homemade pasta, yes, but really experienced the Bolognese way of life, and felt like part of the family. You will learn from the very best, and Cesarine is an expert at guiding guests of all ages through the process.

My daughter Anna and I...

My daughter Anna and I had a remarkable experience with Grazia in her home cooking authentic pasta in Bologna. This was one of the highlights of our whole 2 week trip. Enjoyed a small group, cozy and intimate experience in her home and the food was excellent. She shares her recipes following the experience we can't wait to try them out back in the US soon.

Bologna on the plate, Cooking Class with Alessia

Jarett_S, Jun 2026

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.

Bolognese Cooking Class with Margherita in the Historic Center

Alyson_M, Jun 2026

Excellent Experience!

Margherita was lovely. She speaks English fluently and took us to the market prior to our cooking began. We learned some interesting facts along the way and very much enjoyed walking the streets, seeing the shops and fresh vegetables. Her home is intimate and inviting and very organized for the food we were to make. We made a frittata, tortelloni and tiramisu. She had the steps timed out well to have a steady flow of activity and food being ready at the proper time without feeling rushed. Nothing was too difficult but did learn some tips, techniques and tricks that I’m grateful for as well as the delicious recipes themselves. We created a wonderful meal and are so glad to have booked this opportunity with Margherita. Time well spent and a great memory we’ll take with us!

Traditional bolognese pasta making with a meal

Andrew_H, Jun 2026

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!!

Bologna: Home Cooking Class & Meal with a Local by Cesarine

Juliene_O, May 2026

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!

Bologna: Authentic Local Pasta & Tiramisu Class by Cesarine

Maureen_L, May 2026

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!

This was a fantastic experience and one of our favorite memories in Italy. Monia was so kind and funny, the workspace was pleasant, spotless, and professionally set up, and the gelato treats we made were delicious! We learned much more than we expected about the interaction of the ingredients and what was important to get the best results. Thank you to Monia for a wonderful time.

Wonderful teacher, spoke good English and the location was nice in a room so it was quiet. She gave thorough details on each step. It was a lot of fun even for my husband and dad that don’t cook! The results were amazing, best lasagna I’ve ever had and really good gelato!

Private Market Tour and Cooking Class in Bologna with Giovanna C

Mike_P, Nov 2025

Dinner with family.

Giovanna, Laura and Francesca gave us the best experience of kindness, friendship and family! The market tour with Giovanna was lovely as she shared her love of Bologna and her knowledge of local fare. As we arrived at her home we were greeted by her daughters like longtime friends. The cooking class was like a lesson from your favorite grandmother and cousins. The food was amazing but the fellowship was the highlight. Definitely an experience I will treasure for years to come.
