Additional Information
Welcome to Grazia’s kitchen in Bologna, the perfect place for you if you’re looking to delve deep into the local food culture. I provide a cooking class where we will create two varieties of fresh egg pasta, accompanied by two distinct Bolognese sauces. This cooking class will be both interactive and hands-on. Expect to get your hands dirty with egg and flour while I manage the sauces and serving. If you prefer a vegetarian menu, please let me know ahead of time. I also provide more insight into the history of Italian cuisine.
The classes are conducted in both English and Italian, but don’t let a language barrier deter you! We’ll find common ground as we navigate the art of pasta making together.
Please note, I share my home with my dog who is part of my family. If you have allergies or phobias related to dogs, this class may not be the best fit for you.

Fun with Grazia in Bologna - This cooking class was the highlight of a recent 2 week trip through Italy. My friend and I attended this past April. Grazia limits the class size, which we shared with a couple from England . We had so much fun! She was very welcoming and gracious. We learned a lot and are enjoying her recipes back at home. I would definitely recommend taking a class with Pasta Mama.

A memorable experience - I love to cook but did not know much about how to make pasta. Grazia made the learning experience informative and enjoyable for everyone. It was wonderful to learn about Bologna and its most famous cuisine. I now have a new skill to practice and a fantastic memory of Grazia’s warm and welcoming home.

Authentic Bolognese Pasta Making Session in a real Italian home! - We came to Bologna in search of authentic Bolognese cuisine. Grazia taught us how to make it ourselves in her home. This was much more comfortable and authentic. This was definitely a highlight of our trip!

Terrific pasta cooking class with Pasta Mama! - Graiza welcomed us into her lovely home and shared her stories and recipes about Bolognese cooking. In a small group setting, we made pasta and cut it several ways, and then we shared a delicious lunch with the pasta that we made. She made it look easy! We can't recommend this class highly enough. You will be delighted!
