Pasta & Tiramisu Class in Bergamo: Cook at a Cesarina's home

Handcraft classic Bergamo pasta and tiramisu, then enjoy your meal with local wine

A private pasta and tiramisu-making class held in a Cesarina's home in Bergamo, where you learn to prepare two pasta recipes and tiramisu from scratch, then taste them with local wines. The class runs three hours and is taught in English or Italian by your host, a home cook who opens her kitchen to small groups. Families with children of any age are welcome.

The experience

Bergamo's Cesarina opens her home kitchen for a hands-on cooking lesson built around two pasta dishes and tiramisu: the region's most recognizable recipes. You work alongside her for three hours, learning the techniques and family secrets that make these dishes work, then sit down to taste everything you've made, paired with local wines, water and coffee. The class is private, so the pace and the focus stay on what you want to learn.

You'll prepare the pasta dough, shape it by hand, and move through the tiramisu layers while your host talks through the choices that separate a good version from the one people remember. This is not a demonstration: your hands do the work. Families bring children of any age, and the kitchen is set up so everyone can participate. By the end, you leave with an official Le Cesarine apron and the muscle memory to cook these dishes at home.

Le Cesarine is Italy's oldest network of home cooks, operating in more than 120 cities across the country. Each host is selected for both skill and hospitality. The point is to feel like you've been invited into a family kitchen, not enrolled in a course. Public transportation runs near the home, so you don't need a car to get there.
