Fun and informative
The cooking class was very informative and fun. Kate and Martina met us at the entrance and were great in leading us through the class with detailed instructions. In the end, we received the recipes for everything we made. It was clear that they were very experienced and were able to support everyone with different levels of cooking experience, and also they made effort to get to know each of us.

Super Fun Pasta & Tiramisu Class!
Class started a little later than the original time, but the restaurant was very communicative and informed me ahead of time. It was genuinely a great experience, and Ala was a very fun, engaging, and clear instructor. He was patient to answer any questions and repeat demonstrations for everyone in the group. I had a wonderful time, and our pastas and tiramisu were incredibly delicious! The sauces they made definitely increased the tastiness of the pastas. I would do this experience again, hopefully with my family next time!

Fun, informative and delicious!
Thank you Grazia, aka Pasta Mama, for a wonderful pasta making experience! This was a semi private class (4 people) that took place in Grazia’s home. It was an intimate, informative hands on instruction suitable for novices and experienced cooks. The finished product, our meal of tagliatelle with ragu and cheese tortelloni with butter and sage was absolutely delicious! Wine and dessert was an added surprise. Best of all, Grazia sends us multiple “authentic Bolognese” recipes for us to try at home!
Highly recommend this experience!

Exceptional
Claudia was a wonderful host, and exceptional teacher. She made sure I understood the value of measuring, the type of flour and eggs that are best to use. I learned what dough should look and feel like when preparing and rolling it out. That is what makes the difference in the success of your pasta. We made two different fillings, but the fun part was filling and shaping the tortellini, tortelli and more. She made time to show me the different instruments and how they effect the shape a texture of the pasta. It was so fun!

A Delicious Meal in a Garden Oasis
We had fantastic time cooking and eating in Paula's garden oasis. Paula was welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable about anything food-related in Bologna. It was one of the best meals of our two-week trip. We also very much enjoyed touring the Quadrilatero market area with Paula.

Fun and Fantastic!!
Our instructor was patient (I don’t cook) and very knowledgeable about foods in various regions. He was funny and invited questions and conversation amongst our group. Food was fantastic and I believe we can do this at home! =) We would recommend to everyone and would do it again!

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.

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!

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!

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.
