About

Welcome to my cozy apartment in Via degli Orti, in the heart of Bologna, for an authentic Tortellini & Tiramisù experience.

After a welcome glass of local wine, we will begin preparing traditional handmade tortellini completely from scratch using flour and eggs, exactly as in the Bolognese tradition. You will learn how to roll fresh pasta by hand and create the famous tortellini shape, filled with a rich and flavorful traditional stuffing.

Since tortellini in Bologna are traditionally served in broth, we will also prepare together a homemade traditional broth, learning the authentic local method step by step.

To finish on a sweet note, we will also prepare a delicious homemade tiramisù together.

After the class, we will enjoy everything together with a bottle of local wine — Pignoletto or Barbera — and a good Italian coffee.

A warm, authentic and unforgettable culinary experience in Bologna, where you can truly feel part of an Italian family tradition.

Meet Your Host

Olga

Hi, I’m Olga. I was born and raised in London, but I have been living in Bologna for over 40 years, surrounded by the traditions of one of Italy’s greatest food capitals and the home of fresh handmade pasta. I started cooking at the age of 12 and, over the years, I attended some of the best cooking schools and culinary academies in Bologna because I have always been passionate about learning authentic techniques and perfecting my skills. My greatest passion is fresh pasta handmade with the traditional wooden rolling pin, following true Bolognese tradition. I have always prepared everything at home with love, care, and authenticity. I already host cooking classes and I love sharing food, culture, stories, and meaningful moments with people from all over the world. My experiences are designed for curious and open-minded guests who want to learn, create, connect, and enjoy authentic Italian cuisine in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
