Cookery class in Bologna - a must do

Absolutely brilliant cookery class. Highly recommend, we made lasagne, and had gelato, wine, and aperitif. Great value for money and friendly fun evening.

Amazing Experience

I absolutely loved this ice‑cream making class. Mania, our instructor, was fantastic, clear, patient, and genuinely passionate about what she teaches. She explained every step in a way that made even the tricky parts feel easy and fun. The kitchen itself is a highlight: spotless, bright, and inspiring, the kind of place where you instantly feel creative. I learned how to make gelato amaretto, chocolate gelato, frozen yoghurt, and sorbet, and left feeling confident I could recreate them at home. It was such an enjoyable experience,hands‑on, well organised, and full of little tips you won’t find online. Highly recommended for anyone who loves gelato or wants a memorable, delicious activity in the city.
