Description
More than a lesson: a full immersion into authentic Bolognese tradition. Located just steps from the historic Piazza Maggiore, our experience takes place in a charming and homey studio. This is a professional workspace with a vibrant, "lived-in" atmosphere—a world away from the cold, clinical feel of industrial cooking schools.
From the moment you enter, you’ll sense the authentic vibe of a kitchen where stories are shared and working with flour is a daily ritual. Youll feel like a local as you will dive into the art of the legendary Bolognese Tortellini under the expert guidance of a local professional Chef . This is not a recipe found in a textbook: it is a precious family heritage, a secret passed down through generations. The atmosphere is relaxed and conversational, making it easy to feel "at home" as you work side-by-side with fellow food lovers in an intimate group.
A hands-on journey into the "sfoglia": you will master every step, from kneading the perfect dough preparation to the traditional sfoglia with "mattarello" (rolling pin) technique. You’ll learn the rhythmic art of folding the pasta, while the Chef shares personal anecdotes and cultural insights that explain why tortellini are the beating heart of Bologna’s identity.
The experience culminates in the most authentic way possible. While many worldwide mistakenly pair tortellini with heavy sauces or cream, you will discover the true Bolognese tradition: Tortellini in Brodo.
You’ll savor your handmade creations served in a rich, golden, steaming broth—the only way a local family would ever serve them. Sitting together at a shared table, you’ll enjoy this "golden ritual and soul food" accompanied by 2 glasses of local wine from the Colli Bolognesi and great company. You will leave with a taste of true Bologna and the digital recipes to reMAKE this magic in your own kitchen.
The experience culminates in the most Italian way possible: sitting together at a shared table. You’ll enjoy the pasta you’ve handmade, accompanied by local flavors and great company. You will leave with a taste of true Bologna and the digital recipes to reMAKE this magic in your own kitchen for you and your friends with our wish of "buon appetito!"

Mejor de lo que esperaba
Excelente experiencia de principio a fin. Nos atendieron por WhatsApp para una duda y respondieron en minutos. Nos sirvió para decidir a dónde volver el resto de la semana. Por el precio que pagamos, la verdad que rinde muchísimo. Si están por Bolonia, no se lo pierdan.

Un buen paseo, sin llegar a ser inolvidable. La organización se notó, cero improvisación. La zona de Bolonia de noche es otra cosa. Muy bien que incluyera dos copas de vino local premium Colli Bolognesi incluidas. El paso por Aconchegante Estúdio de Bolonha nos gustó mucho. Por el precio que pagamos, la verdad que rinde muchísimo. Los tragos incluidos eran bastante básicos. Buena experiencia dentro de todo.

Não poderia ter sido melhor. O grupo não era enorme, o que deixou tudo mais confortável. Avisamos que tinha um vegetariano no grupo e resolveram sem problema. Se voltarmos a Bolonia, repetimos.

Vale cada centavo
Reservamos a último momento y fue un acierto total. Si lo comparás con hacerlo por tu cuenta, conviene. El clase de cocina en inglés en grupos pequeños con orientación personalizada vale por sí solo. De lo mejor que contratamos por internet.

Good experience, with one thing worth knowing beforehand. More accessible than it looks, you do not need to be fit. Photos of Bologna do not do it justice. I would have preferred less transfer time and more time on site. I would do it again anyway.

Recomendo muito
Exatamente o que procurávamos. O roteiro é bem pensado, não repete nem dá voltas desnecessárias. Vir com duas taças de vinho Colli Bolognesi premium incluídas muda tudo. Recomendaria a qualquer um que visite Bolonia.
