Learn and taste the best bolognese ragu and pasta making

About this tour

Spend three hours in an Italian kitchen learning to make authentic Bolognese ragù and fresh pasta by hand. You'll follow traditional family recipes passed down through generations, shape three different pasta styles using a rolling pin and hand tools, then sit down to eat everything you've made alongside a homemade dessert. This isn't a staged performance—it's the way Italian nonnas have cooked for decades, and you'll leave understanding why.

Highlights

• Slow-cooked ragù using original Bolognese family methods
• Hand-roll and shape three distinct pasta varieties
• Cook, then eat what you've prepared together
• Homemade dolce surprise included with dinner
• Wheelchair accessible kitchen and all work surfaces
• Public transport nearby, no private car needed

What to expect

You'll start by building the ragù from scratch, learning which cuts of meat and aromatics matter and why patience is non-negotiable. While that simmers, your hands move to the pasta—rolling, cutting, shaping—using the same techniques that require no fancy equipment. There's real flour dust and a bit of mess. After a few hours, the kitchen smells extraordinary and your pasta is ready. You'll sit down to taste the ragù you've made, dressed over your fresh pasta, finished with Marco's prepared dessert and a proper meal.
