Itinerary
Small Group Bologna Cooking Class with Pasta and Tiramisu
Learn traditional recipes in a cozy restaurant kitchen with Prosecco and wine
Arrive at Casa Altabella in central Bologna
Meet your chef at Casa Altabella, a cozy restaurant tucked into Via Altabella in Bologna's historic center. You'll spend the next three hours here learning to make fresh pasta and tiramisu, two dishes that define Italian home cooking.
Toast with Prosecco before you cook
Your chef hands you a glass of chilled Prosecco as you slip on your apron. It's a fizzy, festive start to an afternoon spent elbow-deep in flour, eggs, and mascarpone, working side by side with fellow food lovers.
Whip up a creamy tiramisu
Start with the dessert so it has time to set. You'll layer espresso-soaked ladyfingers with sweet mascarpone cream, learning why this iconic Italian treat tastes so much better when made from scratch with fresh ingredients.
Learn the secrets of fresh pasta dough
Your chef explains the difference between soft and semolina flours as you knead smooth, elastic dough. You'll feel the texture shift under your hands, a tactile lesson in how Italians have made pasta for generations.
Roll and cut tagliatelle and ravioli
Using a rolling pin or pasta machine, you'll stretch your dough thin and cut it into ribbons of tagliatelle. Then fold and pinch little pockets of ravioli, the signature shapes of Emilia-Romagna that locals grew up eating.
Sit down to enjoy your homemade feast
Once the pasta is cooked, take a seat and dig into the dishes you've just made. A glass of Italian wine accompanies your meal, and you'll taste the difference fresh ingredients and traditional methods make.
Leave with recipes and new skills
Your class wraps up at Casa Altabella with a full belly and the confidence to recreate these recipes at home. You'll walk away knowing how to roll pasta and whip tiramisu like a true Italian cook.

Hands On Learning

This hands-on pasta-making lesson was exactly what I was looking for in Bologna. You really learn the secrets of fresh pasta dough and the difference between soft and semolina flours. Rolling and cutting tagliatelle by hand is harder than it looks but the chef's guidance was excellent. The meal featuring your creations was the best pasta I have ever eaten.
Great Fun
