1.Traditional Bolognese Pasta Making with Meal

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 97 reviews · 2h 30m · from $88Our pick

Learn Bologna’s pasta traditions with Irene, make three fresh pasta dishes, then enjoy a family-style meal, wine, and local hospitality.

“Oh, Irene, where do I even begin? If you're seeking a truly authentic experience, look no further than Irene's. When I first booked this cooking class, I expected a generic, run-of-the-mill experience that could be replicated anywhere in the world. However, upon arriving with my husband, we were met with a delightful surprise - an Italian woman in her own home, graciously teaching us the art of crafting authentic Italian pasta. This unforgettable experience became a highlight of our trip to Italy, sparking countless conversations and memories. Thank you, Irene, for opening up your beautiful home, heart, and family to us.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 21 reviews · 1.5 hours · from $62Best value

Make tortellini, tagliatelle, and farfalle with Alessia in Bologna, then enjoy your pasta with wine, sauces, and local hospitality.

“As someone who doesn't cook at home, and has a partner who does, this was an excellent way to not only learn something about Bolognese traditions, but about cooking in general for both of us. The host is extremely welcoming, educational, and honest. If you're not making the pasta correctly, you'll know - which is exactly why you know it's the real thing. While our time ran long, as an American in Italy you'll find that punctuality is not a super high priority here; most places value your joy over your time. That said, we absolutely enjoyed every minute and were sad to go. If you're trying to make plans…”
