What you'll do

Join Paola in her 1920s villa, just a 20-minute walk from Piazza Maggiore, for an authentic class in an Italian home
In this 2-hour hands-on cooking experience, you’ll learn to prepare traditional dishes. In Paola’s home kitchen, learn to cook fresh pasta, choose from Bolognese lasagna, tortelloni, tortellini, tagliatelle, or garganelli. Then learn to make a classic tiramisu or cannelloni using a rare family recipe. After cooking, enjoy the meal you helped prepare. After the experience, Paola will send you all the recipes so you can recreate the flavors in your own home. If you've selected the market tour, meet Paola at a restaurant near Piazza Re Enzo and begin your guided tour through 2 of Bologna's most beloved markets: Mercato di Mezzo, located in the heart of the historic center, where you’ll browse fresh produce, regional cheeses, cured meats, and artisanal products; and Mercato delle Erbe, a lively indoor market frequented by locals for its fruit stands, handmade pastas, and gourmet specialties. After exploring the markets, walk to Paola’s home just outside the city walls, for your cooking experience and meal.
