Highly Recommend - What a wonderful experience this was!! There are lots of cooking classes in Bologna and we found the BEST ONE! It was intimate, friendly, welcoming, full of great information! As well as clean, fun, and a great instructor and host who spoke English well and was an excellent teacher. I booked this with my three tween/teen children and it was absolutely perfect. They learned how to make pasta! And also felt comfortable with the host and in her home- which the class is in. Getting the full Italian experience was so special. Not to mention we met another visitor who was also in the class and connected over our Bolognaise lunch! It was the highlight of our weekend in Bologna.

Worth the money! - The hosts, Marco and , were so wonderful and sweet! She even really went out of her way to find recipes to accommodate our daughter, who has a gluten intolerance, and she was able to make gluten free pasta right along with the rest of us. It was lovely experience, including getting to meet others in the class. Lunch was delicious and of course there was wine! My only complaint would be the availability of more clean hand towels, but otherwise, a delightful and memorable experience!
