Overview

Embark on a unique culinary adventure in the Capital Food City. Join fellow participants in mastering the art of crafting Tagliatelle pasta with authentic ragù, all under the guidance of a skilled local teacher. Start with a welcoming aperitif of Mortadella, Crescenta, and Pignoletto, a perfect icebreaker to get to know each other and discover Italian gastronomy in a traditional Bolognese kitchen.

Next, you'll prepare a Casoni spritz, a unique cocktail made with local herbs, setting it apart from international brands.

Then, we'll begin making the pasta dough by hand, no machines here; you are the engine that will bring energy to the rolling pin!

Using locally sourced ingredients, you'll shape and cook your pasta, which will be perfectly paired with our house made ragù. Once the pasta is dry, we'll cook it together and combine it with the ragù and all accompanied by local red wine! To finish, enjoy local coffee and amaro!

Don’t hesitate, dive into the world of culinary delights!
