    It serves as a good introduction to Bologna and its local culture, and, of course, it’s wonderful food.

    Plenty of yummy food, a charming guide in Mattia, lots of interesting information about the food culture of Bologna. We visited a cafe that roasts their own coffee, we saw pasta being handmade, we visited a salumeria that I wish I could take home to my neighborhood, we had aperitif in a 15th century osteria, a gorgeous pasta lunch, we tasted balsamics and learned what’s what, and ended the day with some excellent gelato.

  • Fantasticly delicious tour

    What a fun day with Mattia, owner, and small group of 7. We really enjoyed this awesome food tour of Bologna and its specialties. Learned some history and interesting facts along the way, tasted at least 20 items, including very tasty and typical lunch dishes (lasagna, tartollini soup). The highlights were tasting meats and cheeses at oldest osteria, eating real gelato with unique flavours, and tasting modena balsamic vinegar. Definately recommend this tour to anyone who loves food, great company and getting some history and stories from a local.
