Bologna: Traditionelle Bologneser Pasta-Herstellung mit Mahlzeit

Our host , Irene, was very welcoming into her home and involved her family in the whole process. She is a very good teacher and has a great sense of fun as well. We learnt how to make 3 different pastas whilst she told us knowledge about each and then sat around the table with everyone else eating our efforts. Very relaxing and she provided all the ingredients and sauces as well as wine and soft drinks. A great experience all round. Suggest if travelling from centre of Bologna, to get a taxi(can use B taxi app) as is in suburbs. Would definitely recommend.

Hands on and fun! Host was warm, friendly and very accommodating to all food preferences/tolerances, and cooking abilities. We were part of a 13-person class so it was a bit squeezed but met a great variety of people from around the world aged 10-75! It was wonderful to be a real home and treated like family. Lunch was fantastic! Highly recommend to anyone coming to Bologna!

This class was taught by a true Italian Nonna in her own apartment. Irinia was charming and so very proud of her culture. She taught us why food in Italy is so good- simplicity! One egg and some 00 flour and we made 3 types of pasta including tortellini with cheese. She had everything ready for us and taught how easy it was to make your own pasta. We then ate each type, tortellini and tagliatelle with classic Bolognese, and butterfly with tomato/mascarpone sauce. A little wine and almond cake for dessert and it was one of the best meals we ate while in Italy.

Absolutely lovely experience. We made three shapes of pasta which our host then cooked perfectly with three different sauces. The pasta-making itself was enough to feel accomplished without being too challenging. Our host was fantastic too. She would talk and demonstrate and offer tips as we were going along. Of course the company was great too. There were 11 of us in total and the conversation never stopped. The time flew! I did it with my 15 year old daughter and we are definitely looking forward to doing this at home!

Out of 24 activities through Italy this was our favorite! Wonderful hostess, Irene (Americanized name) Had a great group of people with us. Had great fun! The experience is in Irene’s home, but it is set up for this. An apartment across the street from a park. If you are a ways away from the address check out the 25 bus. We paid a taxi $26 for 3 people. We went back by bus for $7.50 total.

Non ci sono i parametri minimi indispensabili delle norme igienico sanitarie. La famiglia che ci ha accolto ha manifestato importanti difficoltà di gestione, litigavano continuamente tra di loro, sbattevano gli utensili, urlavano. Avevano stracci, e grembiuli sporchi... professionalità assente, ci sono state alcune situazioni davvero imbarazzanti legate alle dinamiche familiari che si sono create.
