Amazing and Delicious - Highly recommend, couldn’t ask for a better host to teach us traditional pasta making. Paola is amazing. The result of our pasta and tiramisu was delicious. It was our first time ever doing something like this and the outcome surprised us. The Tiramisu was so good I forgot to take a picture.

Best Italian cooking class - Paola was warm and welcoming to us, and explained how authentic Italian pasta and dessert is made. We had great hands-on experiences preparing great food. The created meal was delicious to enjoy. A Cesarine cooking class is highly recommended as part of an Italian holiday, thank you!

Hands on, welcoming, delicious - Adriana was a fabulous host. During our visit we welcomed into her house walking distance from our hotel in the heart of Bologna. She was very accommodating as we wanted to make the traditional tortellini in the both, as this is a winter dish, she was still able to accept our request. During our time, we enjoyed some aperitivo . We made two types of pasta as well as some delicious tiramisu. Not only was the food and company great, her backyard where we ate was beautiful!

Pasta making with Paola was PERFECTO!! - Our private pasta making class and dinner with Paola was PERFECTO! She has a lovely and inviting home and personality! Her English was great too and very friendly and easy to communicate with. The entire meal was excellent from start to finish and she did a great job teaching us how to make the pasta. We definitely didn’t walk away hungry! We left with full bellies and big smiles! A great experience from start to finish! BRAVO!

Great local experience you wont get anywhere else! - 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.
