Trade-off: Cats live in the house.
Last checked: September 15, 2026. Commissions never affect our verdicts.
In a family home you hand-roll tortelloni, tagliatelle and ravioli, shapes that shift with the season, and cook the ragù to the original recipe, then sit down to a three course lunch with wine and take the recipes home. Cats live in the house, and there is no hotel pickup. 4.61 at €75 per person for 3h 30m.
Step into a warm, traditional Bolognese home and experience the authentic flavors of Bologna. In this hands-on cooking class, you’ll learn to craft three classic pasta dishes by hand: tortelloni, tagliatelle, and ravioli. Seasonally, ravioli may be substituted with tortellini or “strichetti” for a fresh, authentic experience.
Under expert guidance, you’ll also master the art of Bologna’s renowned ragù sauce, following the original recipe step-by-step for truly authentic results.
Your Experience Includes: After preparing your dishes, sit down to a complete meal featuring the three pastas from your class, paired with water, wine, coffee, and your choice of dessert or fresh fruit.
Join us for an unforgettable taste of Bologna's culinary heritage!
