Bologna Food Tour and Gastronomia Experience with Local Chef
Overview
Ciao! I’m a local chef, licensed Gastronomy Guide, and proud Bologna resident. Featured in Forbes Magazine as a culinary expert, I’ve trained in some of Emilia Romagna’s best kitchens, including a Michelin-starred restaurant. Join me for an unforgettable taste of Bologna’s rich food heritage. We’ll start at Piazza Maggiore and explore the iconic Quadrilatero. I’ll share the secrets of Parmigiano Reggiano, artisanal salumi, and mortadella while you enjoy torta from a historic bakery. You’ll taste Emilia’s finest—salumi, cheeses, breads, Pignoletto, Lambrusco, and 25-year-old Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale from Modena—at one of Europe’s oldest taverns. Next, I’ll share the story of pasta, and you’ll savor a classic pasta dish at a trattoria or salumeria. We’ll wander Bologna’s famous streets, discover hidden gems, and stop at a family-run bar for real Bolognese coffee. Finally, we’ll visit a beloved artisan gelato maker for some of the city’s best gelato. Let’s explore—one bite at a time!
