  • 5great experience (though frustrating we couldn't cancel the person from our group who was sick).

    fantastic experience -- Paolo was so fun, and we learned so much. two minor things: sure would be good to have wine offered upon arrival (rather than waiting two hours until we ate). and -- my wife was sick and couldn't join us. I started trying to make a modification 24 hours out, but the app was not cooperating. at 22 hours out I called back to the US to speak to customer service. no exception was made, and we had to pay for someone who wasn't able to attend, even though we made our best attempt to process the change (yes, I understand that the rules say it's fully refundable until 24 hours out). Sure doesn't seem that Cesarine would want us to have a sick person spend three hours in their host's home.

  • 5Maurizio was incredibly...

    Maurizio was incredibly welcoming, informative, and entertaining. We had a great time learning how to make 3 kinds of pasta which Maurizio then expertly cooked and served us alongside homemade sauces - delicious! He was very accommodating with dietary requirements. We enjoyed hearing his family stories about pasta making, and being accompanied by his cat and dog!

  • 5Luca was a great host!...

    Luca was a great host! Made pasta making easy and fun. Also did an incredible job bringing the pasta to life with distinct dishes for each of the pastas we made. Highly recommend.

  • 5Great hosts!

    Mauricio and his partner (their pup and cat too) were extremely welcoming in their beautiful home. They were very informative and thoughtful. We loved learning about how their family recipes differ. We also loved the wine selection. Importantly, Mauricio took care to accommodate my food allergy and all the food was amazing. We highly recommend for couples, friends and groups.

About Bologna

Bologna, capital of Emilia-Romagna, is a red-roofed university city of arcaded streets, leaning towers and some of Italy's richest food.

Bologna has a university founded in 1088, one of the oldest in Europe, and students fill the medieval centre. Miles of porticoes shelter the streets, and Piazza Maggiore is the main square, with the Basilica of San Petronio and the Fountain of Neptune. Two leaning brick towers, Asinelli and Garisenda, rise from the old crossroads, and the Asinelli can be climbed.

Top-ranked sights in Bologna: San Petronio Basilica (Basilica di San Petronio), Bologna Piazza Maggiore, Two Towers (Due Torri).
