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 t...read more

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 t...read more

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.
