Mediocre experience; not worth the money
This class was a disappointment. "Chef Fred", our host, has no culinary credentials. He was a golfer at an American college. Give him an "A" for entrepreneurship; he figured out how to charge tourists over $100.00 a head for a pasta making class. A four-course meal? Only if you count the tiny slice of pizza he passed out at the beginning. Wine pairings? Uh, he had two bottles of red and one bottle of white open on the table when the 10 of us arrived. When those ran low, he set out a bottle of wine he had already opened. Three hours? We were being gently shooed out the door after two hours. The lesson takes place in his apartment, so his overhead is low and his profit is high. In fairness, the pasta making part of the lesson was enjoyable. But we had no role in the preparation of the Bolognese sauce which was disappointing. And the tiramisu? My wife politely pushed it aside after one bite. The tiramisu was vastly inferior to the delicious version we had at a casual pizza place in Milan a few nights before. I signed us up for this class because we'd had a lot of fun making paella at a class in Bologna several years ago. Key differences: the lessons in Barcelona were in a commercial kitchen, so everyone had a cooking station. Second, our host in the Barcelona class was jovial and engaging. We stayed a little longer than the specified time in the Barcelona class, and the food we prepared was absolutely delicious. Clearly, this cooking classes range from the ridiculous to the sublime across the continent. Chef Fred's class was decidedly closed to the former than the latter.

Making pasta and then enjoying lunch
Pleasant and casual atmosphere, nice reception. Especially learned to make your own pasta and clear explanations. Then had a nice dinner together

Class full, told late and not able to get rescheduled
I registered for a class several days before traveling to Italy. After I arrived, I received a text stating that the class was actually full and offered two other tomes the next day. I registered for the morning class, and then later received another text stating that that class was also full. We were not able to reschedule the class as our flight was that evening, so we completely missed out on one of the experiences I wanted in Italy. I tried to book with other companies, but it all others were booked due to the late notice.

Tortelloni and Tagliatelle Cooking Class in Bologna + Wine: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bologna.
How much does Tortelloni and Tagliatelle Cooking Class in Bologna + Wine cost?
+
Prices start at $140 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 Tortelloni and Tagliatelle Cooking Class in Bologna + Wine 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 Tortelloni and Tagliatelle Cooking Class in Bologna + Wine worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 3 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 Tortelloni and Tagliatelle Cooking Class in Bologna + Wine?
+
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 Tortelloni and Tagliatelle Cooking Class in Bologna + Wine 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 Tortelloni and Tagliatelle Cooking Class in Bologna + Wine?
+
Around 1 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 Tortelloni and Tagliatelle Cooking Class in Bologna + Wine 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.
