Overview

During the class, get one-to-one tuition and learn home to make 2-3 traditional Italian family recipes—including pasta, a sauce, a side dish, or a dessert. No need to worry about getting hungry, as after the class there's time to sit down and enjoy the dishes you've made with alcoholic drinks to accompany them.

Words can’t describe how incredible an experience this was! Giovanna is truly a master of her craft! She and her family were warm and welcoming, her instructions were clear, and the food turned out perfect!! If you have the opportunity to cook with Giovanna , don’t hesitate! It will be the experience of a lifetime! She is now my friend on Facebook, and I’m excited for the opportunity to stay in touch with her, and her delightful daughters!

This was such a fabulous experience. Giovanna and her daughter were very inviting and taught us traditional recipes. The lunch was so good that I have to try to recreate it! Awesome job ladies.

An absolute joy!

My husband and I had the most wonderful time at Giovanna’s lovely home with her two daughters. We were immediately welcomed and put to work cooking our dinner. Giovanna, Lara and Francesca taught us how to cook bolognese, two different pastas, a vegetable salad, and a second course all while also teaching us about Bologna and their specific family history. We felt like part of the family, and are so excited to keep in touch! We would HIGHLY recommend.

Cooking up tons of Fun!

Heather_B, Nov 2022

This is by far and away the best experience we have had traveling. I wish I could give this 10 stars. We cooked, we laughed and we drank wine! Giovanna was amazing and my husband and I learned so much and are excited to make this at home! I recommend you book as soon as possible!

An experience not to miss in Bologna if you love food

It was wonderful to meet Giovanna and to learn her recipes that she learned from her grandmother. To learn how to make fresh noodles and bolognase sauce
