Lauren

Absolutely perfect from start to finish! Our pasta making class with Grazia and her husband was truly a highlight of our time in Italy. We were warmly welcomed into their beautiful home and immediately felt a connection. They were so kind and helpful, and we had a great time learning how to make two different types of pasta! We also worked together to make appetizers and dessert, and enjoyed some delicious wine throughout the afternoon. This was one of the best meals we had on our entire trip! Their apartment is simply stunning: full of light and beautiful tile everywhere. We felt right at home. The terrace where we enjoyed our lunch was absolutely delightful, and we didn’t feel rushed at all during the day. We left with a new appreciation for cuisine from Bologna, as well as a small guidebook from Grazia and a gift! I can’t say enough wonderful things about this experience, we left with huge smiles on our faces and feeling as though we had made some new friends!

Grazia was the very best hostess we have ever had for any experience, EVER. She invites you into her home to teach you her mother’s…

Beth, Mark & Caroline

It was such a beautiful and fun way to spend our morning and afternoon with Grazie and learning how to make pasta and tortellini! I recommend this experience highly! What a joy to be invited into such a beautiful and warm home. After making our past we ate what we made along with Grazie’s special touches of delicious sauces for the pasta and tortellini, wine, appetizers (delicious! Mortadella spread). Grazie went above and beyond to create a beautiful, well laid out and informative environment. We walked away with VERY full bellies and a recipe book so we can try to recreate at our home. We loved our time with her and feel as if we have a new friend. Thank you Grazie! We hope you will visit us in the states and we will see you soon when we return. Beth and Emma

Sylvie

Pasta making with Grazia was the most amazing experience that really rounded off our trip in Bologna. It was lovely hearing all the stories of where different pastas originated from and the Italian way of making their food. Meeting and spending time with Grazia during this experience is highly recommended. You will never want to buy pasta off the shop shelves after learning how to do it yourself! Thank you Grazia.

Rachel

I highly recommend this experience! My mother and I stayed in the city center of Bologna for a week and Grazia’s experience was our final activity before returning home. It was nice to get to walk to her place a see a bit more of the city. Once we got there she was delightful! Everything was set up wonderfully and she was very accommodating to our allergies and dietary restrictions. We learned a lot, had a great time chatting with her, and had a yummy meal. Nothing could be better! 🙂

Matthew

I want to give Grazia 6 Stars. EVERYONE that comes to Bologna should do this experience. My family of 5 had the most heartwarming, wonderful time learning to make pasta with Grazia. If you have a family that are looking to have some fun, learn, and enjoy a great meal, do this! I think you any child above 10 would have a blast.

Jac

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS EXPERIENCE!!!! I had the best time. She taught me how to make two different fresh pastas and the dishes were delicious!!! She has everything you need and is very organized. Her and her husband are great hosts. They truly care about giving a great experience. The time flew by! We cooked and ate together. You will enjoy an appetizer, 2 pasta dishes, wine, tiramisu, coffee. It was a special day! Everything was perfect. We had great conversation and I felt so comfortable. She knows what she is doing! BOOK THIS EXPERIENCE!!! 🙂

Dario

Great experience! We loved learning about the culinary traditions of Italy, and getting to be part of a real Italian home. Grazia clearly enjoys what she does, opening her home and her knowledge.
