An aperitif of local wine, cheese and cured meats and an apron to keep are included; children under fourteen cannot join and there is no hotel pickup. 4.92 from 37 reviews at €110 per person for 3h. ## Overview A small-group experience in a cozy Bologna kitchen, where a local pasta master guides you through the secrets of real Bolognese lasagna and homemade gelato. More than just a class, this is a chance to cook, taste and connect around the table while discovering the recipes and traditions that make Bologna Italy’s food capital. You’ll prepare authentic green pasta from scratch using fresh spinach, just like in a Bolognese kitchen. You will learn how to roll the pasta by hand with a rolling pin and create your own homemade lasagna, layering it with creamy béchamel sauce and rich slow-cooked ragù. You’ll also discover the art of authentic Italian gelato, preparing fresh artisanal gelato and tasting different homemade flavors created during the class. Before sitting down to enjoy everything you’ve made, we’ll start with a relaxed Italian aperitivo featuring local wine and regional specialties, the perfect way to share the experience in a warm and friendly atmosphere. ## Before you book - Meeting point: The Chef will be waiting for you inside… - Starts 09:30, 17:30: 2 departures a day - Food included: Wine and Beverages throughout the class - Children from €110: ages 14 to 17 ## Key facts - Price: from €110 per person - Duration: 3h - Rating: 4.92/5 from 37 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Recommended by 97% of travellers (share of four- and five-star reviews) - Operator: Ways ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | Shared Cooking Class - 9:30 AM | €110 / person | English | Duration: 3 hours | | Shared Cooking Class - 5:30 PM | €110 / person | English | Duration: 3 hours | ## What's included - Apron as souvenir - All Equipment Provided - Aperitif: local wine, cheeses and cured meats - Prepare your own Gelato from Scratch - Wine and Beverages throughout the class - Make your own Lasagna: Pasta, béchamel, Ragù - Pasta workshop with a professional Bologna pasta master - Cookbook: your recipes + classic Italian dishes ## Not included - Hotel pickup and drop-off ## Schedule - Runs: Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat - Departures: 09:30, 17:30 - Schedule last checked: 2026-09-29 - These are published departures, not a live seat count; availability is confirmed at checkout. ## Cancellation For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. ## Meeting point The Chef will be waiting for you inside the Cooking School "La Soffritta".
