Experience Bologna like a local with this unforgettable culinary adventure!
Discover hidden gems known only to locals and immerse yourself in the authentic rhythm of Bolognese life. This experience recreates the classic outings we enjoy with friends and family, offering over 15 tastings of the finest local food and wine.
We’ll begin with Tigella, a versatile and iconic dish served as a pre-aperitivo, followed by a variety of cold cuts, cheeses, and bread from the Bologna area, paired with local wines at the city’s oldest osteria. Strolling through the historic center, you’ll enjoy two beloved homemade pastas—Tortellini and Tagliatelle—at a traditional Osteria Bolognese, perfectly complemented by more local wine.
To conclude, we’ll visit the best gelateria in town for an unforgettable gelato. This is your chance to eat, drink, and experience Bologna’s culinary traditions like a true local!

5.00Eugenio was a great host on this tour, very knowledgeable of the area, outgoing, and excited to share the real highlights around central Bologna. He was also great at tying in the local history and stories with the tour. We had a ton of fun and it served as a great way to get oriented with central Bologna at the beginning of our stay! Highly recommended!
