Get ready to experience authentic Bolognese flavours and more! Join us on a 3-hour food adventure, from medieval markets to the vibrant University District, where Bologna’s best-kept culinary secrets are waiting to be discovered.
You’ll dig into fresh, handmade pasta slathered in rich ragù, melt-in-your-mouth tortellini, and cured meats that’ll make you rethink lunch forever. We’ll also treat you to Parmigiano Reggiano aged for 18, 24, and 36 months, drizzled with balsamic vinegar that’s been perfected over generations.
Sip on local sparkling wines as you stroll through the vibrant Mercato di Mezzo and Quadrilatero, sampling traditional tigella, prosciutto, and mortadella sandwiches, plus Bologna’s famous rice cake. Along the way, we’ll pass the Two Towers and Piazza Maggiore, diving into the fascinating stories behind this city’s food culture.
Your experience takes a different turn depending on when you set off. Morning tours roll up their sleeves at a local pasta workshop, learning to shape tortellini by hand. Afternoon tours settle in at a tavern that has been pouring drinks for over 600 years, the oldest of its kind in the city, for a round of drinks and a proper bite to eat.
Come hungry, because Bologna is about to show you what real food is all about!
