About This Experience

Escape the hustle and bustle of sightseeing and immerse yourself in the flavours of Italian cuisine on this hands-on cooking class in central Bologna. Held in a beloved local restaurant, the experience begins with a refreshing welcome glass of Prosecco, setting the tone for a fun and interactive afternoon or evening. You will step behind the curtain to discover how a genuine Italian restaurant operates, where passion for food meets tradition.

Once you have washed your hands and put on your apron, your first task is to whip up a classic tiramisu, learning about its origins and the techniques that make it truly special. From there you will move to your workstation for the pasta making, where expert guidance leads you through preparing the perfect dough. Along the way you will learn about different types of flour and the distinction between pasta fresca and pasta secca as you roll, cut and shape your pasta with care.
