• Via Montello - Experience the charm of the 1920s by joining Paola in her villa, just a 20-minute stroll from Piazza Maggiore, for an authentic Italian cooking class. This 2-hour interactive session allows you to master the art of traditional Italian cuisine. In Paola’s cozy kitchen, learn to craft fresh pasta and choose from dishes like Bolognese lasagna, tortelloni, tortellini, tagliatelle, or garganelli. Additionally, discover how to make a classic tiramisu or cannelloni using a cherished family recipe. After cooking, savor the meal you helped create. Paola will also provide you with all the recipes so you can recreate these delightful flavors at home.

If you opt for the market tour, meet Paola at a restaurant near Piazza Re Enzo to start your guided exploration of two of Bologna’s favorite markets: Mercato di Mezzo, nestled in the historic center, where you can peruse fresh produce, regional cheeses, cured meats, and artisanal goods; and Mercato delle Erbe, a bustling indoor market popular with locals for its fruit stalls, handmade pastas, and gourmet treats. Following the market tour, head to Paola’s home just outside the city walls for your cooking session and meal.
