    A truly special experience

    I wanted a true Italian cooking experience for my family when we travelled to Bologna. The decision to choose Felsina Culinaria was the best one I could have made. There may be less expensive options within the city of Bologna, but the cooking class provided by Bianca and Antonio is first rate all the way; I highly recommend it. From the beautiful country setting (easily reached from Bologna) to the delicious quality and amount of the food cooked (and happily consumed), the day was an absolute treat for all involved. Bianca has such a passion for food and pride in her recipes. She teaches and guides students through the process with care so that each participant feels comfortable in the experience. There are lots of laughs and genuine interaction with Bianca and Antonio. My entire family is grateful to Bianca and Antonio for providing a lifetime memory for us that we will talk about for years.

    Pasta cooking class in Bologna

    We had an absolutely fantastic cooking class and can highly recommend it! From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect. Antonio kindly picked us up from the train station, and we received such a warm and welcoming greeting. Bianca is an amazing teacher. She explained every step clearly, shared great tips, and made the whole experience both fun and inspiring. We learned so much and enjoyed every minute. The food was absolutely heavenly—without a doubt some of the best we had during our trip. The setting was beautiful and created the perfect atmosphere for an authentic Italian cooking experience.

    Amazing Class

    Felsina Cucina was the highlight of our trip to Bologna. Bianca and Antonio were gracious and friendly hosts in an incredible home and their instruction was marvelous. The tagliatelle and ravioli dishes they helped us make were delicious. The wine they served was also wonderful. Highly recommend!!!

    Great cooking class!!

    All I can say is WOW! This was the best cooking class, made even better by the wonderful company and great wine. We prepared tagliatelle pasta with Bianca's family ragu sauce, enjoyed bruschetta and Antonio's incredible venison carpaccio upon arrival, and finished with a delicious tiramisu. Thank you for such an amazing experience.

    Felsina Culinaria - Personalised Private Cooking Course: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bologna.

    How much does Felsina Culinaria - Personalised Private Cooking Course cost?

    +

    Prices start at $320 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bologna usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Felsina Culinaria - Personalised Private Cooking Course take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bologna is not rushed.

    Is Felsina Culinaria - Personalised Private Cooking Course worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 52 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bologna, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Felsina Culinaria - Personalised Private Cooking Course?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Felsina Culinaria - Personalised Private Cooking Course suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Felsina Culinaria - Personalised Private Cooking Course?

    +

    Around 18 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bologna can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bologna and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Felsina Culinaria - Personalised Private Cooking Course start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bologna within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Bologna?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Bologna experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Bologna Local Pasta Cooking Class, Ragu, Spritz, Wine & Gelato, Bologna Food Experience: Factory tours & Lunch By Italian Days, Small Group Bologna Food Tour – Local Food & Market Experience. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Bologna?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Bologna?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Felsina Culinaria - Personalised Private Cooking Course?

    +

    Included: Dinner; Languages: English, Italian, or French; Bottled water; and Lunch. Not included: Alcoholic beverages; Access to the swimming pool (€20 per person); Private transportation; and Snacks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Felsina Culinaria - Personalised Private Cooking Course include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 44 listed pickup locations in and around Bologna. Be ready about 5 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Felsina Culinaria - Personalised Private Cooking Course offered in?

    +

If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
