Description

Forget your "standard" food tour. This is a deep dive into the soul of Bologna, a mouth-watering journey through hidden alleys, historic shops, and the rhythmic sound of the rolling pin.

Your adventure begins in the majestic Piazza Maggiore, the beating heart of the city, where you’ll meet your local expert guide. From here, you’ll weave through golden porticos and secret shortcuts where the scents of the city tell stories of ancient traditions.

Caffeine and Heritage We kick things off the Italian way—with a perfect espresso. Follow the aroma to a tiny, beloved café to enjoy your coffee "al banco" (standing at the counter) like a true local. Just a few steps away, an ancient bakery awaits. You’ll taste the legendary Torta di Riso (Rice Cake), a tender, melt-in-your-mouth dessert made according to a secret Bolognese recipe.

Next, we dive into the Quadrilatero, the medieval market district. In this labyrinth of flavors, you’ll tuck into warm, fluffy Tigelle (traditional flatbreads) stuffed with world-class Mortadella, Parma ham, and Salame Felino. It’s savory, irresistible, and pure Emilian comfort.

Mercato delle Erbe We’ll NEXT head to the Mercato delle Erbe, the city’s vibrant indoor market. Inside a historic cheese shop, time stands still. You’ll enjoy a vertical tasting of Parmigiano Reggiano—from buttery and fresh to intense and nutty—drizzled with authentic Balsamic Vinegar and paired with a surprising sip of bergamot liqueur. A quick refresh with seasonal fruit from the colorful stalls, and we’re ready for the grand finale.

Master the Tortellino This is where the magic happens. You’ll enter an authentic pasta laboratory to meet the sfoglina—the guardian of Bologna’s pasta secrets. The wooden board, the rolling pin, the silky dough: everything here speaks of ancient rituals. Watch her hands dance with the rolling pin in a slow, precise sequence of movements—a true culinary ballet.

Then, it’s your turn! Under her expert guidance, you’ll learn the precise twist and fold that makes the Tortellino unique. It’s fun, engaging, and surprisingly rewarding to see your creation take shape. Finally, sit down to enjoy the fruits of this tradition: a Bolognese Lunch featuring steaming Tagliatelle al Ragù and Tortellini in Brodo, accompanied by a crisp glass of local Pignoletto wine. It’s warm, seductive, and absolutely unforgettable

We came away delighted. The Tigelle stuffed with premium local cold cuts arrived exactly when we needed it. I have already recommended it to two friends travelling next month.

Altamente recomendable

Vale muchísimo más de lo que cuesta. La caminata hasta Parma Ham valió cada paso. Ya lo recomendé a dos amigos que viajan el mes que viene.

Boa opção para conhecer Bolonia. Saiu no horário, sem sustos. O grupo era pequeno e isso deixou tudo mais tranquilo. O wifi que prometiam não funcionava. Recomendo mesmo assim.

Cumple y sobra

Lo volvería a hacer sin dudarlo. Me quedé con las ganas de más tiempo en Salame. La coordinación fue puntual y todo estuvo organizado. Lo único mejorable fue la espera al inicio, arrancamos unos veinte minutos tarde. Muy recomendable para cualquier edad.

Es de esas cosas que uno recuerda años después. La reserva fue simple y llegó la confirmación al toque. Aprovechamos almuerzo boloñés: Tagliatelle al ragú, tortellini en brodo y una copa de vino Pignoletto más de lo que pensábamos. Cinco estrellas bien merecidas.

Buena experiencia

Está muy bien, aunque le falta poco para ser excelente. El chofer nos fue contando qué era cada cosa hasta Quadrilatero y el Mercato. No es lo más barato, pero se justifica. El auto era más chico de lo que imaginaba para tanto equipaje. Buena experiencia dentro de todo.
