Cesarine: aula particular de massas e refeição na casa de um local em Bolonha

It was incredibly special to be welcomed to Laura's home. We truly appreciated the opportunity to get to know her and her son, to learn and ask questions, and engage in a cultural exchange through cooking!

We spent a fabulous, fun and delicious day with our amazing hosts Silvia and Marco Donatini on the outskirts of Bologna and couldn't recommend them more highly! Silvia was endlessly patient with our enthusiastic but fumbled attempts at creating our pasta and Marco was our fabulously ebullient host! Three delicious pastas made lovingly by hand before we sat under an outdoor pergola with wine and sunshine to enjoy the fruits of our labour. Genuinely hard to go past as a fun experience! Our sincere thanks to Silvia and Marco for opening their home to us! A real highlight of our time in Bologna!

Eleonora and Federico were fantastic hosts and incredibly welcoming to their home! My wife and I had an amazing time and learned so much. This was easily one of the best parts of our trip!

We loved this experience! Being invited into our host Roberta’s home was something we haven’t experienced elsewhere. She was a warm host and guided us through making some great pasta which we ate with some beautiful sauces and wine. Would recommend to foodies and beginner cooks alike!

We had a wonderful time at the Pasta Making Course with Rosa. She was only a 20 minute walk from the Old City. Rosa was bubbly, friendly and makes delicious pasta. She also was very caring taking the time to purchase lactose free cheese and guiding us to make dairy free tortellonies and tiramisu. I highly recommend doing this experience.

The listed meeting place on the via tour app was not the meeting place for our booking. In the chaos of travel, managing family, elders and heat I didn’t notice a third “your event is coming up” email had been sent with the actual meeting place. The morning of I checked Viator and screen shotted our meeting place. Unfortunately was not correct and no hint on there that the information was somewhere else - 40 minute walk away and no cars/Ubers available. After messaging with our specific tour guide/cesarine - she had offered to wait up to an hour for us to be late but would have to adjust what we would make. My elevator parents were so hot/tired/frustrated that they canceled. I fully appreciate the cesarine for offering to wait but traveling 40 minutes in the heat was not possible. Viator should change the way they provide this information or BOOK DIRECT, not through Viator.

We had a wonderful time with Rosa. A really lovely experience to round off our time in Bologna

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.

We wanted an authentic Italian cooking lesson, and this exceeded our expectations! The class was very well organized and we learned so much! We made so many different pastas and several sauces.

Lucia was a wonderful host and a very patient instructor! She went above and beyond our expectations! I highly recommend taking her class!
