The tour gave us an excellent insight into the city of Bologna and its cuisine. Antonio was friendly, informative and an amazing chef - the food tasted fantastic. Looking forward to trying out the recipes at home.

Great time!

Diba_A, Jul 2023

Great time cooking A bit crowded as it was in an apartment but lots of fun. Made 2 types of pasta and ragù.

Shame on you Viator!!!

Alexandra_M, Jun 2023

The home is not suitable for guests to be cooking in her home. We shared a family bathroom to wash our hands and it was not appropriate for guests, it did not feel sanitary nor did the kitchen. The wine offered was cheap and tasted like vinegar and the food was not good, pasta was tough and did not have a lot of flavor. Loud music was being blasted by her son and did not make for a nice cooking experience. We were disappointed that the 4 cooking classes that we booked through Viator were all cancelled over a week period and I had to scramble to find other classes and then this one was suggested to us by Viator and we wanted to do a cooking class while we were there so we decided to do it but it didn't have any reviews. The host was nice and I feel bad submitting a negative review but I want to be honest about the very disappointing experience. Viator needs to properly interview and vet its hosts before posting cooking classes and they also should be liable for cancelling us from all of the classes I had booked. Ironically friends we met on our trip had the same bad experience with the same host. I would not recommend booking through Viator/Trip Advisor after this terrible experience. They obviously are not paying their hosts enough because the quality of this cooking class was BAD.

A Night to Remember!

Lot of fun and deliciously simple ! Had lots of laughs and pasta! Simple in theory but will need more practice at home! Teacher was very warm and friendly. Wine was great too! A night to remember !

Must-do experience!

Must do experience in Bologna

Jessie_F, Aug 2020

The tour and cooking experience in Bologna has been one of my highlights during our holiday in Italy. Antonio was fantastic; was more than just a food tour, they were so informative about the city. Afterwards the cooking experience I enjoyed so much. We got to eat our creations with a lovely bottle of wine. Even dessert too!

This was an amazing experience! Irene was incredibly knowledgeable about Bologna and obviously loves her city! It was very interesting walking around and learning about the city. Making the pasta was incredible! We got to make three different types and enjoyed them with her family. Highly recommend!

This was the most amazing thing I did while on vacation!!!! Irene was a wonderful tour guide and showed me some amazing hidden sights in Bologna, which was a fantastic city! Then she welcomed me into her home, where with her family, we prepared 3 types of pasta an sauces. To say it was delicious is an understatement!!!! The best meal I had in Italy!!! Absolutely fantastic and highly highly recommend!!!

Another great tour in Italy! Our guide Michol, a former teacher, loves her city and was proud to share her knowledge with us. We walked around the city center for a couple of hours with Michol showing us many out-of-the-way points of interest. We then went to a beautiful apartment where we met a lovely woman named Lucia who opened her home to us. We sat at her kitchen table and learned to make tortellini the old fashioned way. Michol translated for us and we felt right at home. We then stopped at a great lunch spot where we had a delicious pasta meal. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a true Italian food experience.

My girlfrend and I enjoyed a lovely morning touring round Bologna's foodie sites with our knowledgeable guide Micol. Learning how to make homemade tortollini after was the highlight, a very unique experience.

Lara B, Jun 2016

Our guide, Nicol was so nice and informative. I highly recommend this tour if you are looking to learn about Bologna's history and a bit of the history of the food culture. I am also giving four stars because I really thought I would be learning how to make pasta, or at least watching the process. But we really, really loved Nicol and her mother, and it was really awesome to be in the kitchen with an Italian mother and daughter we were a mother and daughter, too and connect over our similarities despite speaking different languages.

Got a great walking tour around...

Elizabeth B, Feb 2016

Got a great walking tour around Bologna for a little while before heading to the home of a local to learn how to roll tortellini. Then walked across the street to a restaurant to try tortellini in broth--it was fabulous. We had a great time and the guide was fantastic. However, this is not a cooking class and all you do as far as cooking goes is 20 minutes folding pasta. Not exactly what we were looking for which is why I gave it 4 stars. But, if you are looking for just a taste of the local culture, this was fantastic.

Divertida experiencia

Fue muy interesante aprender a hacer pasta y diferentes tipos de pasta. La familia muy amable y atenta a todo detalle. Muy recomendable

Kurset svarede ikke til det beskrevne

Pernille_G, May 2023

Vi købte et 3,5 timers madlavningskursus, men vi lavede kun mad i 1,5 time. Resten af tiden sad vi ved bordet stuen, men vores vært tilberedte maden i køkkenet, så vi så ikke engang hvordan retterne blev lavet. Dette er også en reklamation (umuligt at gøre gennem support). Det var inkluderet, at vi skulle spise maden, men den del bør ikke vare 2 ud af 3,5 time. Jeg hører gerne hvilke andre muligheder der er for at reklamere over kurset, hvis dette ikke er tilstrækkeligt.
