Embark on a unique culinary adventure in the Capital Food City. Join fellow participants in mastering the art of crafting Tagliatelle pasta with authentic ragù, all under the guidance of a skilled local 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, 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, 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 all accompanied by local red wine! To finish, enjoy local coffee and amaro!

Don’t hesitate—dive into the world of culinary delights!

Had a wonderful time with Stefy and Beatrice! Absolutely recommend if you find yourself in Bologna. I also had a bit of uncooked pasta left over that I took home with me.

A fun well presented and informative few hours with a nice blend of history, pasta making and social activity. Our guides were very helpful and adapted to me being gluten free with gf pasta for lunch as well as making my 16 year old feel part of the event. Well worth the cost and a great way to spend a few hours.
Became a bit more Italian!
