Highlights

Trade crowded restaurants for an intimate, homey cooking studio in the heart of Bologna. This professional yet cozy space is where the soul of Bolognese hospitality meets expert culinary craft. Under the wing of a local Chef, you’ll learn to create authentic handmade tortellini using a secret family recipe passed down through generations. Master the rhythmic art of the "sfoglia" (pasta dough) and the traditional wooden rolling pin (mattarello) in a relaxed, conversational atmosphere. The highlight? Discovering the "Golden Ritual": tasting your handmade tortellini served in a traditional steaming broth—the authentic way every Bolognese family enjoys them on Sundays. Forget industrial classes; here you are a guest in a "lived-in" studio that feels like a friend's kitchen. Finish your experience by sharing stories at a communal table, enjoying your creation paired with 2 glasses of premium Colli Bolognesi wine. You'll leave with new skills and a digital recipe kit!

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).
