Don't hesitate and book this workshop!!!
We were immediately welcomed super friendly at Antonio's home! He taught us how to make tagliatelle with ragù and tortelloni "from scratch" and it was delicious! We were allowed to try everything ourselves and immediately received tips on how we could do it better. Antonio was a real gem, he gave a lot of compliments, we were allowed to drink as much and as many as we wanted, he gladly gave us a second portion, ... Later we got the recipes and a personal tip for a restaurant (after I said I'm crazy about eggplant). We could also send him the next day for tips on where to eat and which regional products we definitely had to try. Everything is completely "tailor-made": not only the personal restaurant tips, but also for example the mix between Italian and English because my cousin doesn't speak Italian but I wanted to practice the language. Thanks to our conversations, I learned not only a lot about Italian cuisine, but also about Italy itself and the Italian language. Conclusion: we had a fantastic time with Antonio and learned so much! Don't hesitate and book this workshop!!!

A Memory to Treasure
This was the highlight of our trip to Bologna! A definite must-have experience, and you get to take recipes home to share with family and friends!! Chef Antonio was so kind, welcoming and funny. He taught us patiently and answered all of our questions. He is a wealth of knowledge. We had a magnificent time and we cannot wait to try these recipes at home!!
Total it took us 3 1/2 hours ish, which was absolutely worth the money. Like others said, it is a great view into the apartment living in Bologna. Great for couples, solo, or even a group of 4! A memory to never forget!

Homemade pasta and Ragu sauce with a professional chef
We had a wonderful experience learning to make traditional Bolognese and fresh pasta with our professional chef, Antonio. It was an authentic, hands-on class that gave us a true appreciation for the techniques and traditions behind the recipes for homemade tagliatelle, tortoloni and Ragu sauce. Antonio was friendly, entertaining, and immediately made us feel welcome and at home.
The setting is a private home, so the cooking space is cozy and intimate, which adds to the authenticity of the experience. We appreciated the thorough instruction, personal attention, and the opportunity to enjoy a home-cooked meal together. If you're looking for a genuine taste of Bologna and want to learn from a passionate local, this class is a great choice. Highly recommended!
