Overview

Guidekin summary

You roll tagliatelle by hand and mix a local herb spritz, after an aperitif of mortadella, crescenta and Pignoletto; the ragù itself is made in advance rather than cooked with you. Vegetarians are fine, severe allergies are not, and arriving half an hour late means no entry. 4.97 from 1,118 reviews at €57 per person.

From the guide

Embark on a unique culinary adventure in the Capital Food City. Join fellow participants in mastering the art of crafting Tagliatelle pasta with authentic ragù, all under the guidance of a skilled local teacher. Start with a welcoming aperitif of Mortadella, Crescenta, and Pignoletto, a perfect icebreaker to get to know each other and discover Italian gastronomy in a traditional Bolognese kitchen.

Next, you'll prepare a Casoni spritz, a unique cocktail made with local herbs, setting it apart from international brands.

Then, we'll begin making the pasta dough by hand, no machines here; you are the engine that will bring energy to the rolling pin!

Using locally sourced ingredients, you'll shape and cook your pasta, which will be perfectly paired with our house made ragù. Once the pasta is dry, we'll cook it together and combine it with the ragù and all accompanied by local red wine! To finish, enjoy local coffee and amaro!

Don’t hesitate, dive into the world of culinary delights!

Additional Information

  • Public transportation options are available nearby
  • The ragù preparation is not included in the class due to limited time; however, the ragù is 100% homemade.
  • This experience can accommodate vegetarians, but it may not be suitable for people with severe allergies or strict dietary restrictions
  • To ensure the best experience for everyone in the class, guests arriving more than 30 minutes after the scheduled start time will not be able to join the cooking class. Late arrivals miss an important part of the introduction and preparation, and joining the class at that stage would disrupt the experience for the rest of the group.
  • The experience can accommodate vegetarians, but may not be suitable for people with severe allergies or strict dietary requirements.
  • Please inform us in advance of any dietary restrictions so we can advise if the experience is suitable for you.
