Irene was great! Recommend this class! - Irene was great! Very accommodating to a mistake I made while booking and helping us with a taxi at the end. Great company, she was very funny as well as professional. Great Bolognese teaching of three pastas and serving of our dishes at the end server with wine in her very own home. Coffee and dessert as well.

Good experience! - This involves 1 hour of lessons to make the dough (3 different shapes) in the kitchen of a restaurant with the advice and supervision of a very pleasant and educational chef. Once made, we had lunch on a restaurant table with my friend the different types of pasta, cooked in sauce (we did not participate in making the rest of the recipe which is a shame). Provision of water, carafe of wine, coffee and small dessert. Good experience on a rainy day. Speak English. Vegetarian possible. Located 20 minutes by bus from the city center. Thank you Irene!

The class itself was... - The class itself was nicely done, but the pick up didn't happen as planned. After waiting 20 minutes at the designated address, I called the host. There was much messaging and calling back and forth before she told me her husband would pick me up at another location quite a bit further down the street. Then I waited there for about another 15 minutes before he arrived with the other two in the class.

Mixed Experience - This experience was a mix of very good and some not so good. The couple who hosted us for this cooking class in their home were incredibly hospitable and accommodating for any sort of food preference. For a fee, they picked us up and dropped us off at our accommodations. This ended up being very helpful. However, there wasn’t clear communication from the host about pick up fees and details. Their apartment living room was only big enough to host 7 guests, and it felt a bit unprofessional in presentation in terms of space and ambiance. We learned how to make pasta dough from scratch, and our host was very good at teaching us how to create different kinds of pasta. They’ve lived in Bologna their whole lives and know how to make the Ragu and tortellini filling the traditional way. We had a great time with the other guests, and were given drinks and dessert along with our pasta. Overall, we hoped for a higher quality pasta learning experience and setting. It ended up being more expensive then planned, but we’re grateful to have met a very kind Bologna family and get to know other guests over a good meal
