Overview

Discover the authentic soul of Bologna on a journey through hidden alleys and historic shops. This isn't just a food tour; it's a "behind-the-scenes" look at the city's culinary heritage. Start in Piazza Maggiore and dive into the medieval Quadrilatero market. Taste local icons: a perfect espresso, traditional Rice Cake, and warm Tigelle stuffed with premium cold cuts. At Mercato delle Erbe, enjoy Parmigiano Reggiano with authentic Balsamic vinegar. The highlight? An exclusive "pasta show" where a master sfoglina reveals ancient secrets of the rolling pin. You'll get hands-on to learn the unique twist and fold of the Tortellino—a skill to boast about! Conclude your experience with a classic Bolognese lunch of Tagliatelle al Ragù and Tortellini in Brodo, paired with local Pignoletto wine. A delicious, immersive journey into the heart of the world's food capital.
