Start with a coffee and a croissant made one of the city's finest baristas. Then walk through Mercato delle Erbe and the Quadrilatero with your guide, shopping for your own lunch at historic family shops: mortadella, prosciutto di Parma, coppa, Parmigiano Reggiano and local cheeses. At a fresh pasta lab, watch the sfogline roll out golden sfoglia by hand, then taste a portion of handmade pasta like lasagne or tagliatelle. Carry your shopping to a historic osteria where locals have brought their own food for centuries, and enjoy it with local wine and aged balsamic vinegar of Modena DOP. We finish with artisanal gelato. With a maximum of 10 guests, there's time for every question, and your guide will share where to eat for the rest of your stay.

Ciao! I’m a local chef, pasta maker, and licensed Guida Enogastronomica, featured in Forbes Magazine and Sydney Morning Herald as one of Bologna’s top culinary experts. I hold a Certificato di Specializzazione IFTS in Gastronomia in IGP and DOP products and study Gastronomy at the Università di Bologna. I’ve cooked in some of Emilia-Romagna’s finest kitchens, including a Michelin-starred restaurant. We’ll begin beneath the arches of Palazzo della Mercanzia with a macchiato and historic torta at a family-run pasticceria, then explore the Quadrilatero as I reveal the secrets of Parmigiano Reggiano DOP, Prosciutto di Parma DOP, Mortadella IGP, and Aceto Balsamico DOP. Taste the region’s best salumi, cheeses, breads, and Pignoletto wine — plus 25-year Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale DOP — inside Italy’s oldest tavern (1465). We’ll proceed with tagliatelle al ragù paired with a glass of Sangiovese di Romagna at a beloved trattoria, and say arrivederci over one of the city’s artisanal gelato.
