About Bologna Pasta Making Classs
Bologna is the food capital of Italy and the homeland of fresh egg pasta — tagliatelle al ragù (never “bolognese” here) and hand-pinched tortellini. A class in Bologna teaches the technique at its source: the sfoglia rolled paper-thin by hand, the ragù simmered for hours, the tortellini folded one by one.
What sets Bologna apart is authenticity over volume: smaller, more intimate classes — often in a local’s home or a historic kitchen — where you learn the Emilian way and finish with spritz, wine, and gelato. It’s the pasta heartland, and it shows on the plate.

"Very nice. Different, professional, genuine. Fun way to spend an evening."
"The pasta cooking class was amazing. Valentina is an incredible teacher and getting to try everything at the end was the cherry on top. Definetly recommend if you want to taste the authentic ragu sauce and gelato with a little twist!"
"Did a couple cooking classes with GYG in travels throughout Italy and eaxh was worthwhile; however, this class in Bologna was exceptional. lovely spacious setting, engaging and patient instructor plus a gem of an assistant. Added bonus of the extras being donated to the church. Lots of good options and this one was a super pick!"
