3パスタ、ラグ'、ティラミス、無制限ワインテイスティング

We arrived 5 minutes early and were told to “wait outside.” The event was so crowded that we were pushed into a corner and could barely see what was happening. Both sauces and parts of desert were prepared on arrival so we didn’t participate in making anything except to roll a handful of macaroni.The event is advertised as participant’s actually making the dinner when all we did was watch others and do one part of the process. Dinner was rushed and the host made continuous remarks about tourists- not very welcoming. Having been to another Tortalloni making class earlier that week, the contrast was stark. Fortunately, we learned how to make Tortalloni somewhere else because although it is in the ad- there was no mention of it at this event. In addition, appetizers that were advertised never appeared either. The good thing was the unlimited wine which is probably why people don’t complain more. We left so quick that I forgot my phone there. When I called the host, he said he was leaving for dinner and we had to plead with him to wait for us. Look for better options than this tour. They are surely out there and make sure to book through a reliable third party so you can get a refund for services promised and not rendered.

Suuuuuch a fraud!!! Emphasis on the ‘stay hungry ’ - indeed I did stay hungry. Creepy man in his small apartment. Kept on coming back to promoting his dear old grandmother’s pasta maker and breadboard that have been apparently handed down generations etc (however are both completely spotless.. thus seeking this false ‘family oriented’ narrative). Nothing else to say than just such a fraud. Further, he tries to sell you his wines. So weird, just like a business endeavour to customers that have already paid a lot for such poor service. There are so many more qualified courses I’m sure, save yourself the trouble… I’ll expect I’ll get met with an overly aggressive response that’s all confused in it’s phrasing and misspelt haha. Sorry pal good luck Ps: there are a few of this specific tour out there, look carefully, for example this one and “Pasta Making Class with Tiramisu and Unlimited Wine Tasting” is also his.

So much fun at the stayhungrystaybologna cooking class with Federico. Matty and I and a bunch of great people all enjoyed the wine, the company and the fun, relaxed way to learn how to make traditional pasta and dessert. Chef Fred made us all feel at home, allowing us to get involved and went through all the steps with ease! We were sent home with full bellies, all the recipes and smiles on our faces. Great way to spend your time in Bologna, would highly recommend and do it all again next time we are in Italy. Ragu the cat 🐈, a pleasure meeting you too!

Chef Frederico was absolutely fantastic and incredibly accommodating. From the moment we booked, he was responsive, helpful, and flexible, even managing to host a larger group than he normally would. The class itself was brilliant. Everyone was fully involved, and we learned so much about making pasta in a fun, relaxed way. Chef Frederico is warm, funny, and a truly wonderful host, and his cat Ragù was an added highlight! Thank you for such a flawless 10/10 experience. I would highly recommend booking this class if you’re visiting Bologna.

We were fortunate in that we only had the 4 of us in the class. We all got plenty of hands on experience with the pasta. The sauces can’t be made in an hour and we appreciated that we could enjoy our homemade pasta right away. The tiramisu was fun and different. We all enjoyed it and what we learned.

We arrived shortly before the cooking class started. A few participants came a little late, but the Host began right away without them. The appetizers that were promised in the description were not served. The portions were far too small to be anywhere near enough — Federico said it was all for us, even though twelve of us had to share a single pan!!!! (Picture!) The host was wearing sweatpants and worked in such a way that we participants basically had nothing to do but watch. The promised wine tasting also didn’t take place; instead, he served €3 wine ( from Lidl) and told us it was organic wine. Absolutely not recommended!!!!! Way too expensive!!!!

This is a scam. We had booked a course for 4 and a few days before; the host cancelled saying there was a power cut and asked us to pay in cash. We had booked a 3h course and after 2h we were asked several times to leave. The stew was with mold and the host assured us that it was made the same day. Two people were sick that night. No aperitivo and no sommelier. The host was in his pajamas and his wife was watching TV on the sofa For the price, avoid!!!!

I came to Bologna to learn to make homemade tortellini. Yes I’ve been making pasta since I was 10, as it’s a right of passage in our family. But I wanted to learn this pasta shape from people who do it everyday! I made tortelloni, maccheroni, and tagliatelle along with travelers I met from all over the world. It was SUCH a fun experience and now I feel confident in making it! I went through @stayhungrystaybologna with Frederico who opened up his beautiful home and had a well organized class for us in the kitchen, and we all ate the fruits of our labor in the dining room together. And of course the wine was flowing! He gave us recipes, especially for his ragù (bolognese sauce) and tiramisu! I highly recommend! 🤌🏼🇮🇹🥰 He also gave us some suggestions about town including an enoteca and about half the class went there after for more wine! I've seen some of these reviews that are negative on here, and I want to address those... When traveling you have to be flexible. Yes, my original class was canceled (bc no one else signed up) so he kindly fit me into a different one the night before. Were there 5 bottles of different wine with a tasting? No, but we had plenty of wine throughout and it was really delicious! I'm sure we drank at least 5 bottles! He kept the class moving yes, but does anyone really want him to lallygag around while people are waiting for something to do? I loved the pacing of the class. Also when someone opens their own home it's important to be respectful that it's their home. There's only a certain amount of space, and I thought this kitchen was rather large for an Italian apartment! So, one may not do the tiramisu or something else, but that's on the attendee for not volunteering. Everyone in my class had the best time, and those of us that went for wine later talked about how we really enjoyed it!

Good Food and fun pasta making process, and enough wine; at 1930 the host ask if he should order a taxi for us
