The host was ultra nice and understanding. We made 2 pastas and one dessert. It was the most memorable thing we could do coming to Italy from USA. We would do it again in every city we go to.

Elena and her husband have a warm welcoming home and it was a wonderful experience to cook together. What a delicious meal!

This was a great way to spend a few hours in Bologna. Elena and Saverio were welcoming in their eclectic home and instructed us well and shared insights in how to get the best flavours out of the excellent local ingredients. It was a delight eating the meal we had prepared.

I booked a cooking class in Bologna for my son and me. Rosa was amazing! We felt so welcome in her home....like part of her family. Her cooking instructions were perfect and we produced a three course meal (plus piadina) in our three hours. This included the best pasta I've ever eaten...and made it! The best experience of my Italian adventure. If I could give more than five stars I would. Thank you Rosa!

We had the most incredible time cooking with Rosa in the "Emilia Romagna: the queen of good food cooking" Cesarine course. A definite highlight of our three week Italian holiday! We did the class with our two daughters age 4 and 1.5. Rosa was so great with the girls! She got them both involved in every step even giving them their own workspace, aprons and rolling pins. In addition to the delicious food, we enjoyed spending the afternoon/evening talking with Rosa. We learned not only about Bolognese cuisine but also the Italian lifestyle and culture. I highly recommend Rosa's class to anyone looking for an intimate local experience.

My husband and I were lucky enough to book a one of a kind in-home cooking class for our honeymoon with Rosa. Rosa had each dish expertly timed, and patiently encouraged and educated us as we made a three course meal together. Everything was delicious and “re-creatable” without purchasing a pasta machine back home! We loved that Rosa took time to get to know us, the conversation, wine, and food flowed freely. Rosa welcomed us into her home and her life in such a way that we left feeling as though we’d visited a dear friend in their home for lunch. Rosa kindly took photos to share with us after the class and will be sending us the recipes via email. We even left with her gelato and dinner/ live music recommendations for the evening! This is a “must do” experience for any food lovers in search of an authentic local experience when in Bologna.

Martina was a great host! We had a great time getting to know her and about her family and their recipes. It was very hands on, which we prefer, and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience with her!

Emma_G

A wonderful way to spend a night in Bologna. Cesarine was incredibly warm, welcoming and personable. The class was more than an opportunity to learn how cook. It was also an excellent way to learn how locals live through good conversation and dinner together at the end of the night. I highly recommend this activity for anyone interested in upskilling in the kitchen, learning more about the Italians and anyone missing a home cooked meal.
