Safeguarding the Intimacy of Italian Tradition In a city celebrated as the gastronomic capital of Italy, pasta has become an experience for many. In Grace's kitchen, it remains a sacred rite. I welcome you to the privacy of my home in Bologna: not in an aseptic studio, nor in an industrial laboratory nor in an exhibition space. Here, time follows a different rhythm. We work slowly. Strictly by hand. We use only pure flour and eggs from ancient breeds of hens, natural and authentic colors .. Vegetarian menu available. Celiac menu not available. My dog is my family and lives in the house with me.If you are allergic or afraid of dogs, maybe this pasta lesson is not for you.

A Wonderful Family Experience with Grazia!

What a wonderful experience! We joined Grazia for a pasta-making class in her lovely home, and it was truly one of the highlights of our family trip to Italy! Grazia made us feel so welcome, and we all had an amazing time learning from her knowledge and passion for Italian cooking. Thank you, Grazia, for your warmth, kindness, and hospitality. We’ll treasure these beautiful family memories for years to come! ❤️

Delicious Pasta Making Lunch

We had a fun morning learning how to make different types of pasta. in the warmth of PastaMama's home. The apartment was easy to find. She is a patient and engaging teacher. We learned about the traditions in addition to learning how to shape the pasta. she prepared the appropriate sauces for each of the pastas. we then sat down to a delicious lunch of our pasta and wine and water in her lovely dining room.

Like cooking with family in Bologna

Our PastaMama experience was one of the highlights of our time in Bologna. From the moment we stepped into Maria's apartment, we felt at home. Her hospitality was warm and genuine, and she made the whole group feel like welcome guests rather than tourists on a class. The hands-on pasta making was fantastic. We made two classics: tagliatelle with a rich, slow-cooked ragù, and tortelloni filled with cheese, served in an amazing butter and sage sauce with a secret ingredient that took it to anothe...read more
