Itinerary
Embark on a unique three hour culinary adventure in the Capital Food City. Join fellow participants in mastering the art of crafting Tagliatelle pasta with authentic house-made ragù, all under the guidance of a skilled local sfoglina (teacher). Start with a welcoming aperitif of Mortadella, Crescenta, and Pignoletto, a perfect icebreaker to get to know each other and discover Italian gastronomy in a traditional Bolognese kitchen. Next, you'll prepare a Casoni spritz, a unique cocktail made with local herbs and recipes, setting it apart from international brands. Then, we'll begin making the pasta dough by hand, no machines here; you are the engine that will bring energy to the rolling pin! Using locally sourced ingredients, eggs & flour, you'll shape and cook your pasta, which will be perfectly paired with our house-made ragù. Once the pasta is dry, we'll cook it together and combine it with the ragù and parmigiano reggiano 24 months aged, all accompanied by local red wine, San Giovese! To finish, as every Italian meal requires, enjoy local coffee and amaro and our mystery gelato! **Recipes will be sent in PDF format via the Viator chat 1h after the class has started.

The two guides were adorable and nice.. Yet, I believe the activity is a bit too expensive for what it is. I would have included the making of a dessert while waiting for the pasta to simmer.
Cooking a traditional dish in Bologna was a highlight of our visit. The staff was wonderful and witty. The instructions clear and patient. We absolutely loved the class and meeting other travelers. It was like a big family gathering. Highly recommend this experience.
Francesca und Steph are Great teachers!!!
A GREAT lesson on pasta making! I’ve done cooking classes with pasta before, but Kate and Claudia had amazing technique and they took the time to teach us EXACTLY how to create fabulous pasta. Highly recommend! And their teaching style was so much fun! They kept us laughing the whole time.
Claudia and Paolo were wonderful hosts and knew what they were doing! Would recommend this class to anyone.

Great experience! A lot of fun and now able to make pasta (hopefully!). Super hosts too.
This cooking class was absolutely incredible! Making fresh pasta from scratch was such an amazing experience. The pasta, the sauce, the drinks and everything else tasted so so good. The atmosphere was so friendly and fun, our teachers Kate and Emma were beyond amazing, so friendly, funny and helpful. I came with my family but it is also perfect with friends or even by yourself. Great for all ages, five stars.

We had an amazing time at the pasta-making course in Bologna! The three hours flew by thanks to the great atmosphere, lovely company, and our fantastic hosts, F and Lu, who were super professional and made the experience so much fun. Making our own pasta and getting to eat it afterwards was such a great experience, and it turned out delicious! The Bolognese ragù, gelato, and spritzes were wonderful too. It was also lovely to meet new people. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Bologna!
Amazing experience! Luca and Kate were great hosts: very informative, entertaining and fun. And the food and drinks were top-notch. Well done!
Kate and Jaya were wonderful and engaging instructors. I had a great time making pasta by hand and learning about the food in Bologna. The whole experience was a perfect last day of my trip. Thank you!
We had a fantastic time at the pasta-making class with Kate and Jaya 🍝 They were so welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable, making the whole experience fun and enjoyable.

This was an awesome class, the instructors were top notch, funny and very knowledgable. our first stop in Bologna.

We had a great time learning how to cook pasta and drink some good wine. I would really recommend this class. A highlight of our trip
What a fantastic cooking class this was! Francesca and Valentina were fun, entertaining, easy to follow demonstration of creating pasta Tagliatelle Ragu. We were a small class of 10 people - two couples from Washington State USA, one couple from England, a couple from Australia, and a mother and daughter from Spain. What a great group of people to enjoy this experience with. There were all the needed equipment, ingredients, instruction, and help for each of us. Oh, and there was a little bit of different types of local alcoholic beverages at hand, too! To top it off, we had gelato with a delicious secret topping. Francesca and Valentina - thank you so very much for your delightful class and hospitality. I highly recommend this adventure!
We had an amazing time on our cooking course with Francesca and Valentina. They were really friendly and supportive in the pursuit of perfect pasta. We laughed and made friends from around the world and left with full bellies. We would recommend this experience for everyone!
Really enjoyable pasta and spritz making class with Kate and Lucia. Highly recommend!
Super fun cooking class with Kate and Clara! They made the ragu for us, but Kate taught us how to make the tagliatelle from scratch and Clara taught us how to make the spritz. Great energy and overall a very enjoyable and yummy experience! Highly recommend if you’re ever in Bologna!
Everyone has to walk down a flight of stairs so mobility should be considered when booking this event but if that’s not a problem it’s totally worth it!
Great experience. Enjoyed learning technique to make pasta & spritz. Nice to chat with other travellers sharing the experience. Food, drinks, desert & coffee were amazing.
It was truly a good moment, and a good experience and I’m happy i’ve been able to participate ! The two people who hosted us, Jaya and Filippo ( sorry if i misspell their names !! ) were actually so kind and patient, and made of this moment one I’ll always remember. So thankyouu ❤️
Very friendly and knowledgeable guides who made our experience fun. The class was easy to follow. Will definitely recommend.
Valentina and Francesca were amazing. Expert guides- very knowledgeable and great fun. Thank you both for a fabulous afternoon
Very nice experience! From the explanations to the actual food.
Enjoy talking with others who are sharing the experience. It’s so fun to hear where everyone is from and the experiences they’ve had in their travels.
It was a ton of fun and got to meet a lot of nice people. Making pasta is way harder than I thought. So I was lucky to have Kate and Clara there to help.
We had a phenomenal time! They were great!
It was a wonderful time with the instructors and the guest.
This was a fantastic experience. Clara and Jaya were absolutely wonderful. They make a good team. It was very well organized, explanations were clear, and the end results were delicious. We highly recommend joining this cooking class.
Clara and Jaya were great! The class started on time and it was a more authentic experience than most pasta making classes. We used rolling pins the whole time rather than switching to a crank machine. Lots of wine, coffee, amore, and Gelato!
Clara and Jaia were wonderful teachers. Highly recommended!
Wonderful eating making pasta, learning details of Italian cooking methods, also learned how to make spritz, great conversations with the rest of the group (total of 12), would highly recommend, delicious meal at the end of the night.
The sociableness of the class was a true highlight! We had a great group of attendees and were able to swap travel tips and suggestions throughout the class. The instructors, Katarina and Felipe, were so friendly and helpful and the pasta we made was delicious!
Lovely class! Very fun experience and amazing instructors! We learned how to make ragu tagliatelle and spritz
Fabulous experience! The two young ladies leading the group were outstanding! They made the experience a lot of fun and it was interesting meeting other participants.
Martina and Paulo were great!
