What a wonderful day full of once in a lifetime experiences and fantastic food. Yes...it's an early start but completely worth it. My wife and I loved every stop.

Amazing Foodie Tour & Guide

We planned a two night one day stop over in Bologna, driving from the Dolomites to Siena. Since Bologna is the culinary heart of Italy, we thought a foodie tour was in order & this particular tour did not disappoint. Our guide, Valentina G. was exceptional. Her warm, friendly personality enabled her to connect with everyone in our 10 person group. We were an English speaking group & English was one of four languages Valentina spoke fluently. She shared the perfect mix of local food-related culture, history & traditions. During what turned out to be nearly a 4 hour tour, she took us to restaurants aomewhat off the beaten path where we dined on a delicious variety of dishes that are native to Bologna & learned about their origins. Most importantly (haha), we learned how to distinguish a great gelato from one that is not. Seriously, I would never have known some of the tips she gave, other than what my palate liked best. Also, my husband had certain dietary needs in which Valentina also did a fabulous job accommodating. Would highly recommend this tour & Valentina G. as your guide.

One of the best day tours we experienced while in Italy for a month.

Our tour guide, Domenico, was fantastic! My wife and I booked this small group food and wine tour at the last minute. Turns out, we were the only ones to tour with Domenico that day. What a great day full of interesting history of Bologna, some really great food including meats and cheeses with honey, a full meal of delicious lasagna, and plenty of wine. Finished it all off with gelato of course. If you are lucky enough to have Domenico as your tour guide, you will be very happy.

Always the best tour in a new city! Food, wine and like minded travellers.

We had such a fun time. Roberta was a fantastic guide and we learned so much about the food of Bologna and Moderna. We had a lovely diverse group of fellow travellers and made some lasting friendships. We got to try all the delicious popular dishes and we had some amazing wines. We all had such a great time that we had an after party at the oldest wine bar in Bologna! Grazie Mille Amy, Kristian, Harry and Carrol.

Pastamama, Preserving the intimacy of Italian domestic cooking

James_T, Jul 2026

The best of Bologna

We usually try to do cooking classes when we travel. None has been better than Pastamamma! Grazia gave us an unparalleled experience in Bologna. We booked a lunchtime class on the Saturday before Easter Sunday. Grazia's place was easy to find and get to and her communications were excellent (as is her English. She also speaks French.) Grazia provided all the ingredients and, of course, the expertise. It wasn't long before we were rolling out dough and creating our own tagliatelle! Ditto for wonderful tortelloni filled spinach and cheese. We had wine, ate soup...oh, and her Bolognese gravy is to die for. We especially loved the stories she was able to tell us about her life in Bologna and other places. She was so warm and we felt like we made a new friend. Don't hesitate to book this wonderful class with this classy, wonderful woman.

Frederica was a fantastic host and we thoroughly enjoyed our tour around the vineyard with her. As she worked at the vineyard making wine herself she had excellent knowledge of the history of the vineyard and surrounding estate and was able to answer any questions we had about the process of how their wine is made according to the owners specific vision. At the end we were invited to sample some of the different wines they produce and even purchase some wine to take away should we wish! Grazie mille Frederica!
