Family, fun, food! - We booked a cooking class with Grazia for 2 adults and a teenager. We all enjoyed the opportunity to cook in Grazia’s home and share in her warmth and wisdom. This was our first time taking a cooking class together and it was such an enjoyable way to spend a morning and afternoon. Grazia is a kind and gracious host and teacher, sharing her knowledge and life experiences openly. I highly recommend this class for anyone interested in learning traditional techniques in pasta making. We are excited to return home and share our newfound knowledge with our friends and family. Thank you Grazia! Your home and class are beautiful!

My girlfriend and I took... - My girlfriend and I took a pasta course with Maria Grazia in her apartment in Bologna, and it was a wonderful experience. She was very welcoming from the start, and her lovely dog made us feel right at home. Maria Grazia explained everything clearly and was very patient, which made the class relaxed and enjoyable. It was really fun to learn about the different pasta shapes and to make them ourselves. At the end, she cooked our fresh pasta with her homemade ragù, and it was absolutely delicious. It was especially nice to eat something we had made with our own hands. Overall, it was a great and authentic experience that I would definitely recommend.

A day well spent - This is what you’ve been looking for. Being invited into the home of a native Bologna resident that is gracious and a beautiful host. Teaching you to make recipes she was taught from her grandmother. Her home is spacious, inviting, warm and Maria Grazia is the best of hosts. The food we created together was the most delicious I’ve had in Italy. It was a day well spent.

A must do in Bologna - What can I say? My sister, aunt and I thoroughly enjoyed our time at Grace's home! She was so warm, welcoming and patient with us as we attempted to make pasta, an art that she is clearly a master at. Whether or not you are good at cooking, Grace gives you step by step instructions, along with demonstrating herself, on how to make the pasta dough and how to form different pasta shapes. The best part about it is that making pasta is easier than you think. It takes a combination of muscle and fine motor skills but that makes the pasta taste all the more better! Grace paired each of the pastas' with a different sauce; a homemade ragu and a brown butter sage sauce. Absolutely delicious! During the three hours we were there, she left time for us to just sit and enjoy our dinner and dessert while looking out her picture window at Bologna. If you want an authentic Italian experience, look no further!

If you can only do one thing in Bologna, do this - This was one of the best things we did during our 2 week trip to Italy. Maria Grazia was fun and taught us so much. It was so rewarding to each the pasta we made. We can't wait to get home an start making our own pasta.
