Fantastic experience to cook at Maurizio! - Had a very nice experience at Maurizio and Marco. The chef was very kind and patient. Clean kitchen. The dog Dante is great with his ball. We made three fresh pastas with all three different seasonings. Very flexible too, because a person does not eat pork. That wasn't a problem. Together on the lovely terrace we ate the made dishes. Maurizio is also a good talker about the food he makes. After 3.5 hours we left satisfied. We would love to come back again!

rarely write reviews;... - rarely write reviews; however, in this case I feel compelled to do so. Oriana was outstanding!!! Foremost, she is an amazing instructor with great patience and attention to detail. I was completely relaxed in her company and home (you cannot be nervous making pasta). Additionally, she is an amazing person, taking the time to get to know you and making the most helpful suggestions to enrich your time in Bologna. It is with complete confidence that I highly recommend Oriana to others.

Best experience - This experience has been the highlight of our trip to Italy. Marco, Silvia, and Andrea were such great hosts and made us feel like we were at a friend's house for dinner. We had a great food, had great conversations, and it was an experience that my wife and I will never forget.

Great Experience! - Beautiful experience. We were received by Federica who from the beginning was very patient with usand taught us alot about the art of making Pasta. First we had a wine tasting with an appetizer on the balcony overlooking the city. Next we learned how to prepare three types of pasta (tagliatelle, tortellini and garganella). To top it all off we enjoyed pasta with three variations of sauce always in the open air on the balcony of her beautiful apartment. The result was fabulous! I absolutely recommend!

Great fun, cultural experience - Maurizio was the star of the show. A great host who welcomed us into his home and shared his knowledge and experience as well as some great Italian culture. My son and I had a blast and we’ll definitely use the skills we learned at home.

Cesarine Bologna - Roberta - excellent - We chose Roberta in the Cesarine group. We hit full. Careful woman, nice... We were very well received at your house. Our menu: mousse of mortadela; tagliatele al sugo with sausage sauce, rosemary and various spices; tiramisu. All done on time. Homemade pasta, best quality ingredients. The tiramisu was "Il vero". We still tasted a homemade limoncello. Excellent experience. I recommend and would return.

A fabulous way to spend a morning in Bologna - Rosa was so lovely and a very warm and welcoming host. We made 3 types of pastas and while we cooked she gave us a run down of Bolognas best food recommendations from a local. Would highly recommend Rosa to everyone!

Bologna Pasta Experience - You need to park outside the historic center. We were not told this beforehand a received a ticket for driving through the historic center to find parking. This was too bad! Also, we were not able to text through the Viator app with the host. Otherwise, the experience was well done! The host was friendly and so was the interpreter. We are English speaking. We made 3 pastas which were very good! The time slated for the experience was 10:00-1:00 and we did not leave until 3:15. So, prepare for a longer time for this experience.
