Excellent Experience!
michelleoV2462MA, Jul 2025
My family and I scheduled this pasta class with high hopes and Paola did not disappoint! We entered her lovely home in the center of Bologna and felt welcomed and comfortable. Paola is learning English and had a translator with her who we also loved (thank you Agnese!). We were immediately put to work making tiramisu, pumpkin gnocchi and tagliatelle ragu. Paola had done quite a bit of preparation so everything was ready for us. She was organized, clean, and kept us all busy. We enjoyed the meal (which was so much food!) at her dining room table and stayed chatting for quite some time, never feeling rushed. It was a wonderful experience that I will not soon forget. We arrived home in the US and my teenagers asked if they could make "Paola's pumpkin gnocchi" this week. Paola was the perfect host and I would love to go back and learn more from her, she has so much knowledge. Paola, we will be back - next time lasagna and pizza dough! Grazie mille!!
Great Experience: Cooking and Dining in Bologna with Paola

Loved this experience! It was intimate and fun. Paola gave great guidance and the food we made together was delicious. Preparing our meal in a real Italian home kitchen/setting sets this experience apart from the other pasta making classes. We were treated like good friends but left as family. #WarmandElegantdiningexperience #Highlyrecommend #Wonderful #TwoPastasand Tiramisu #Fantastico
Memorable Holiday Meal!

We thoroughly enjoyed both our meal and visit with Cesarine Margherita! We traveled to Italy to visit our college-aged daughter completing her semester studying abroad in nearby Florence. Bologna is a scenic town convenietly located nearby (40-minute train commute), and our Cesarine's lovely home was conveniently located in the heart of Bologna. We enjoyed an excellent four-course meal with tradional Bolognaise recipes (including the famous, delcious sauce!), and as we prepared and enjoyed our meal together with Margherita, we appreciated learning some fantastic cooking tips for Italian cuisine while learning more about Bologna and Italian traditions. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone, especially families, as our family will always cherish this very special and memorable Thanksgiving meal we celebated together with lovely Cesarine Margherita. Thank you & grazie!
