This was a warm and welcoming cooking class! Hosts spoke English very well, we had great instruction on how to make pasta. I will need to practice for sure! Then eating our creations at the end with great wine, and each of the three pastas cooked differently was amazing! And we made new friends! Def recommend!

Very enjoyable! Very good teacher, made me feel special like I was her first student ever. So patient and encouraging while also discussing Italian family philosophy’s of cooking. I’m no great cook but with Irene’s guidance I made 3 different types of pasta with ease. Was very pleased with myself and even more so when I tasted it all. Thank you Irene you were wonderful and I had a great time. Really good value for money.

This was a wonderful experience. We took the class with our 11 year old son and had a great time making three different versions of pasta from a single recipe. The class was in a fairly small apartment and there were a total of 8 people in the class. We made the pasta dough then divided it into thirds. We made tortellini, tagliatelle, and farfalle. Afterward we sat around as a group and enjoyed the fruits of our labors and some wine. The hostess and her family were very warm and inviting. Getting to and from the location was a bit of a challenge but we paid some extra for them to pick us up and drop us off afterwards (60 euros round trip).
Yum!

What a wonderful experience this was!! There are lots of cooking classes in Bologna and we found the BEST ONE! It was intimate, friendly, welcoming, full of great information! As well as clean, fun, and a great instructor and host who spoke English well and was an excellent teacher. I booked this with my three tween/teen children and it was absolutely perfect. They learned how to make pasta! And also felt comfortable with the host and in her home- which the class is in. Getting the full Italian experience was so special. Not to mention we met another visitor who was also in the class and connected over our Bolognaise lunch! It was the highlight of our weekend in Bologna.
Worth the money!

The hosts, Marco and , were so wonderful and sweet! She even really went out of her way to find recipes to accommodate our daughter, who has a gluten intolerance, and she was able to make gluten free pasta right along with the rest of us. It was lovely experience, including getting to meet others in the class. Lunch was delicious and of course there was wine! My only complaint would be the availability of more clean hand towels, but otherwise, a delightful and memorable experience!
So fun!!
