Perfect pasta day - Fred was such a great host…charming, funny, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel welcomed. He also had great recommendations for where to eat in the city.

One of the best experiences we’ve ever done! - My boyfriend and I were visiting Bologna from London in February and wanted to do a cooking class, and thankfully we stumbled upon this one with Fred! What an AMAZING class this was - we learnt so much about pasta, especially tortellini which we’ve now made at home multiple times since being back. The mixture of sauces, pasta styles and a dessert was great. There was such variety and so much to learn. Fred was an excellent teacher who got everyone involved, making sure no one was left out. He guided us through each step carefully and sent us the recipes after which was so helpful. It was so authentic to have done this experience at Fred’s flat, one that has been so memorable. We would recommend this experience to absolutely EVERYONE!!! Thank you so much Fred, we hope to be back one day!!

Everything was so much fun! - We booked this experience based on a friend’s recommendation but we did not have any clue of what was waiting for us. We had so much fun and we learned great cooking skills. We met very cool people from different parts of the globe and continued our trip together afterwards. Whole experience was beyond our expectations and the tiramisu was so GOOD

A nice activity for those who like to cook and eat well. - I really like to cook. I thought it would be fun to make pasta with my family in the city of pasta. I have 3 girls, 8 years, 7 years and 4 years. They also enjoyed doing it very much. They were sufficiently involved by the host. He even had special wooden boards for them to make macaroni. They loved that. A nice family activity. And very tasty. Pretty expensive though (with kids eating less). But he also had very nice wines on offer, more than enough.

Some positives and Improvements needed for this Experience - The experience is very interesting, we learned a lot but were more watching than cooking. We were a family of 5 supposed to have a private course and found out that we actually joined another group of 4. On the positives, you can learn how to make pasta and Tiramisu, the chef is very welcoming and knowledgeable. On the improvements: The experience is in a small kitchen with one Pasta making machine and one wooden board for everyone, so you will relay on making pastas. The more you are the less you will handle/cook. Something to note; The experience is technically about 2hours including lunch. I rated 3 stars as the chef means well but the experience wasn’t good value for money. Specially when you compare it with other activities in the area.

Disappointing attitude but taught us to make excellent tiramisu. - We arrived approximately 10 minutes early for the lesson, having walked from our hotel. However, we were advised to return later. When we did return, we were approximately 5 minutes late. Upon entering the fourth-floor flat, I immediately realized there was a cat present, triggering my phobia and allergy. The host's response was rather curt, stating that they couldn't remove the cat as it might scratch their door. They offered little assistance. I retreated to the small kitchen as the cat remained in the living room throughout the evening, fortunately. It's worth noting that our Viator booking ticket made no mention of a cat. Despite this, the host demonstrated good cooking skills, and their simple tiramisu was excellent. However, I wish they had shown more consideration for us as clients. Additionally, other participants in the class received wine and we were not offered untill much later. I would ask you look at other sites before you book.

BEWARE OF LAST MINUTE CANCELLATIONS - STAY AWAY from this company. We booked this class back in April (class was to be held on May 29) and were told 48 hours before that the host found a bigger party and they could no longer accommodate us. We built our itinerary around this class and could not find another one on such short notice. Very disappointing.

Do not buy wine. - Dinner experience was great. Fred was very hospitable and friendly. He even made reservations for us at a local restaurant for another day. The dinner was great, but DO NOT buy wine from him. As others have mentioned https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g187801-d17781690-r824582133-Stay_Hungry_Stay_Bologna-Bologna_Province_of_Bologna_Emilia_Romagna.html, you are VERY unlikely to get the wine, your money back, or any help from Fred.
