Overview

Bologna is home to one of the best cuisines in Italy—where favorites like tortellini and were created—but it can be a challenge for travelers to find down-to-earth meals in the restaurant circuit.  With this tour, a guide takes you to at least half a dozen restaurants and cafes serving dishes away from the tourists. It’s an immersion in local gastronomy with pasta, salumi, pizza, wine, and gelato.
  • A guide takes you to family-run restaurants and cafes away from tourists
  • Value: make up to six stops for food, dessert, and wine
  • Let someone else plan breakfast and lunch for a day
  • This small-group tour is designed to offer a more personal experience

My wife and I have been on a lot of food tours around the globe. This was the best yet. Mattia is fantastic. He has a passion for the city of Bologna, and served the perfect amount of food throughout the tour. We learned about not only the food we were eating, but the whole city of Bologna. Highly Recommended.

We were interested in tasting the most popular Bologna dishes and we weren't disappointed - the Tagliatelle alla Bolognese, Tortellini con Brodo, etc. was excellent. Mattia was an excellent guide.

My brother and I had the most amazing time on this tour with Mattia. We 100% recommend this tour. Not only did we eat our way through the city, Mattia also gave us insights into Bologna and we learned a lot. The food and wine were amazing. The tour to see how the pasta is made was super fun too. The education on the different types of balsamic vinegar and meats was very interesting. We just had such a wonderful time. Anyone coming to Bologna should take this tour. Well worth it!
