• P.za Giuseppe Verdi, 4 - This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. In your 2-hour hands-on Bologna cooking class, learn to make pasta from scratch. Margherita will guide you through the step-by-step process of making the dough, shaping it, cooking it, and preparing the accompanying sauce. You can choose from various pasta options: tortellini burro e salvia, strichetti al sugo di tonno, pasta e fagioli, or spaghetti alla Bolognese. After cooking, sit down to enjoy the dish you helped prepare along with a few pre-prepared dishes.

If you opt for the market tour, meet Margherita in Piazza Giuseppe Verdi and walk to the ancient market of Quadrilatero. The ‘Quadrilateral’ is a lively area in Bologna’s city center with craft and trading traditions dating back to the Middle Ages. Here, you’ll find stalls selling everything from fresh fish to local fruits, vegetables, meats, cheeses, regional wines, homemade tortellini pasta, and fresh Italian breads.
