From my Kitchen: Home cooking lessons at Grazia's house

Very warm welcome and very professional , got all tips and details to become an excellent tortellini maker ! 😊

Great cooking class!!! Gratzia is very personable, friendly and a great teacher. We had a great time making pasta!

I had an amazing and fun time making homemade tagliatelle and tortellini with my new friend Grazia! Her joyful personality shines into the beautiful dishes she teaches. She makes you feel so welcome in her home and offered us bruschetta, wine and sparkling water. She is true Bolognese! If ever in Bologna, you must take her class!

Learning authentic Bolognese pasta making with Grazia was a real highlight of our family trip to Northern Italy. After cathedrals, monuments and museums, it was a wonderful break to spend time with Grazia in her home learning about local cuisine, cooking and customs. Grazia welcomed our family with open arms, and showed me, my wife and our two teenage sons how to make authentic Bolognese tagliatelle and tortelloni. Everything done with great care and genuine love. As she instructed us, we learned a lot about regional differences in cooking and day in and day out customs of the Bolognese. Grazia showed us not only how to make the pasta, but how to serve it with authentic Bolognese sauce (the tagliatelle) and a wonderful sage butter sauce (the tortelloni). Together we enjoyed a terrific homemade lunch, with local wine, our own pasta creations, and great conversation. After lunch, Grazia served a refreshing marscapone and peach dessert with limoncello. A marvelous way to take a break and get a real taste of Bolognese hospitality cooking and culture. Highly recommended!!

Great experience, extremely welcoming host and a real joy to learn from. Would highly recommend to anyone interested in learning about pasta making.Great experience, extremely welcoming host and a real joy to learn from. Would highly recommend to anyone interested in learning about pasta making.

I met a wonderful host in Bologna and we were both allowed to do what we love: pasta. Standing together in the kitchen, cooking, learning and chatting is so wonderful. I am so incredibly grateful that Grazia has given me this opportunity in the current situation. (For the photo without a mask). Get to know a country and the people in which you cook and eat with them. Don‘t fear alone. Try now, it is safe and you will be amazed. Grazia is a warm welcoming person. There was spinach tagliatelle with ragù alla bolognese and ricotta tortellini with family recipe pesto for my. Grazia offers variations like your taste. And on top you get Brudchetta, Dolci and Vino 😁

I strongly recommend you to book a class with Grazia if you are going to expand some time in Bologna and want to fancy a local experience. I had an one-to-one class with her and she made me feel comfortable since the first second I was in her place. I could not even see the time passing by. Looking forward to impressing some friends now with my pasta skills :)

What a wonderful day we spent with Grazia in her lovely home. We learned so much about Italian (and Bolognese) food and lifestyles. Highly recommended - in fact not to be missed if you are in Bologna!

One of the best experiences I had ,Grazia is very welcoming and warm person with massive knowledge ,highly recommend-you will not regret it!

I really didn't know what to expect with this experience. We ventured into a residential apartment block, up several flights of stairs, and were then welcomed with Grazia's smile. Grazia had all of the ingredients and tools ready for us to start learning. Her charisma and energy was so warming and lovely, we felt at home straight away. She's very patient and good at teaching us through the steps at our own pace. The apartment surroundings were old skool Italian, which just added to the charm of the experience. We made two types of pasta and drank wine and ate fresh bruschetta while we waited for the pasta to set. After making the second pasta, we relaxed with more wine whilst Grazia prepared lunch for us using the pasta we just made. OMG - best pasta I've had, ever. Take this experience, you won't regret it.
