An amazing evening with Oriana! We were in a small group with five people in total and all learned first hand from her amazing expertise. The atmosphere was lovely, everything felt so authentic. The meal that we helped to make was fantastic and wine was flowing through the night. Would highly recommend while in Bologna!

What a wonderful way to spend the morning! Rosa was energetic, funny and fun. We made tagliatelle, tortellini and tiramisu. Rosa also made us fresh pizza and we had wine. I’ve never made pasta from scratch. It was fun and informative. Will definitely do this in my own home.
Fun cooking morning

Paola is Italian speaking and we had an interpreter who was delightful to help us translate. We were required to wear shoe coverings in the home. We began the cooking process right away but limited information on the plan for the evening. Additionally, we were hoping for some historical context or significance of the dishes chosen. I love learning through food but this wasn’t as expected. I loved the fact we were in a home, listened to Italian music, and engaged in conversation about Italian life. Also our note for dietary restrictions was not given to the host. The advertisement on Viator was not the food we made, it was connected through a third party.
