They were able to tailor to cater for vegetarian requirements, and shared their family recipes. We will take these recipes home to our families. We cannot wait to make the recipes for ourselves at home. Thank you again, will recommend to all our family and friends who visit!We had the best time with Margherita. She was a very generous host.

Fun-filled learning afternoon! Vanessa (our adult daughter) and her boyfriend Cristian experienced Rosa’s cooking class during their short stay with us in Bologna, which was special for them. Rosa is a consummate hostess who invited us (the cooks and us, Vanessa’s parents) to her sunny apartment in Bologna's historic center to start with appetizers and prosecco. Vanessa and Cristian learned to prepare vegetarian spinach “meatballs” (their request), traditional tagliatelle with ragout (typical meat sauce), and tiramisù. The two learned to prepare fresh pasta using egg and flour, rolling out sheets of dough that they cut into narrow strips to cook, and topping the pasta with a ragout they also made. Rosa is an experienced cook and patient teacher who encouraged the cooks during each step of their process. Tiramisu was a big hit to make and taste for dessert…and Vanessa and Cristian now have an Italian treat to prepare for the November Thanksgiving feast that they will host! Thank you Rosa for taking photos of each step of the cooking class process…our family now has a unique photo album to renew our Bolognese experience memories! What a treat to be invited to share in tasting the cooks’ preparations around a family kitchen table while Rosa talked with us about Italy’s cooking methods and history, as well as changing cultural life. Rosa is sociable and enthusiastic about both cooking traditional dishes and sharing Bolognese culture and lifestyle as only a native can be. We are grateful for Rosa’s memorable cooking expertise shared through Cesarine. We now have a better understanding of typical Italian cooking and life...and an Italian friend in Rosa! We highly recommend Rosa and the Cesarine experience to anyone visiting Bologna.We booked a cooking class via Cesarine for our stay in Bologna. And we are so happy we did!

We booked a cooking class via Cesarine for our stay in Bologna. And we are so happy we did! Me and my husband really recommend the cooking class with Rosa. She is an amazingly inviting person, you will feel at home immediately. And of course you’ll have to meet Tony, her cat. You can tell that she is very passionate about food and she will tell you everything you would like to know about making the best fresh pasta, tiramisu and her special meatballs. We shared some good conversations over good food and had the best time with her. If you don’t take this class you’re really missing out on an amazing experience.I had a wonderful experience. Christina was amazing and so kind. I felt completely at ease in her home. We drank Prosecco and made pasta. Then we sat down and enjoyed the meal together. It was an unforgettable evening.

Barbara and Paola were great teachers in making 2 types of pasta and tiramisu. We started by getting to know each other with champagne and appetizers out on the patio. During our time there, we were so lucky to meet Barbara’s family: Antonella, Sara, Mattia, Maya and Minou. We love nothing more than cooking with friends and family so it made our cooking experience amazing! We learned to make totelloni with zucchini ricotta filling and a mascarpone, tomato sauce and tagliatelle the traditional way and with a pasta press with a ragu. The tiramisu was the best we’ve ever had. We had the food we prepared with sparkling water and red wine. After making and eating fresh pasta, we understand the time and love that goes into each dish. Thanks for the cooking class but what makes this so special are all the wonderful people we spent time with! Grazie
