Fresh Pasta · Bolognese Tradition · Tortelloni & Tagliatelle · Ragù · Guests from All Over the World ·
Paola has been rolling out pasta dough by hand since she was a girl, as has been done in Bologna for generations: with a rolling pin, on a wooden board, without rushing. In 2018, she opened her home to those who truly wanted to learn, and since then, she has cooked with over 500 guests from more than 30 countries. There's no school with desks and uniforms here: there's a family kitchen, an apron that becomes yours, and a table where, in the end, everyone sits down together to eat what we made with our own hands.

Esperienza di team building di lavoro piacevolissima, con Paola che ci ha accolti e insegnato con naturalezza e spontaneità, come se ci conoscessimo da una vita! Mi sono sentito a mio agio come in poche altre occasioni, e ne esco con una gran voglia di preparare tortellini nel weekend!

It was a wonderful experience in Bologna! My wife and I wanted to learn how to cook authentic Bolognese dishes, and this class was a perfect fit for us. We had such a great time and learned a lot. A big thank you to Paola for the wonderful class! I would definitely take her class again if I visit Bologna in the future.

Un corso fantastico! Paola è l'insegnante paziente e accurata. La sua casa, elegante ed accogliente, è il posto perfetto per imparare la vera cucina bolognese. Avevo portato una coppia di amiche di Dubai e Paola ha spiegato tutto in un inglese perfetto. Siamo uscite tutte con la voglia di tornare non appena ci saranno altri corsi. Grazie grazie grazie
