    Lasagna Bolognese with Laura

    Laura's class was PERFECT! She and Antonio are great teachers, their home is wonderfully inviting, and the meal was spectacular. We can't wait to go home and try it ourselves! We would absolutely take another class with Laura!

    Of course you should book this!

    Fantastic hands on experience making pasta for lasagna. Absolutely recommend for anyone who's ever wanted to try their hand at it. Laura was a lovely host and extremely knowledgeable. Dinner on her terrace was a wonderful end to a fun class.

    We had such a wonderful time with Rosa! I would love to take another class with her. We prepared and enjoyed a delicious lasagna and I’m inspired to try to make it at home. Rosa graciously opened her home to us and shared so many local tips. Rosa’s positive energy made the experience a highlight of our trip!

    Lasagna Masterclass: Learn, Cook & Taste Authentic Bolognese: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Lasagna Masterclass: Learn, Cook & Taste Authentic Bolognese cost?

    +

    Prices start at $97 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 Lasagna Masterclass: Learn, Cook & Taste Authentic Bolognese take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 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 Lasagna Masterclass: Learn, Cook & Taste Authentic Bolognese worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 11 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 Lasagna Masterclass: Learn, Cook & Taste Authentic Bolognese?

    +

    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 Lasagna Masterclass: Learn, Cook & Taste Authentic Bolognese suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Lasagna Masterclass: Learn, Cook & Taste Authentic Bolognese?

    +

    Around 4 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Lasagna Masterclass: Learn, Cook & Taste Authentic Bolognese 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 Lasagna Masterclass: Learn, Cook & Taste Authentic Bolognese?

    +

    Included: Tasting of your freshly made lasagna and a regional appetizer; A glass of regional wine (e.g., Sangiovese or Pignoletto); Hands-on Lasagna alla Bolognese cooking class with a local expert; and Insights into Bologna’s food culture and traditions. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Lasagna Masterclass: Learn, Cook & Taste Authentic Bolognese?

    +

    This experience will be held in one of our Cesarina homes and, for privacy reason, you will receive the full address of your Cesarina host after you have booked. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Lasagna Masterclass: Learn, Cook & Taste Authentic Bolognese offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Italian. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Lasagna Masterclass: Learn, Cook & Taste Authentic Bolognese?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Lasagna Masterclass: Learn, Cook & Taste Authentic Bolognese if the weather is bad?
