10 Lessons & Workshops in Bologna That You Shouldn't Miss

March 27, 2022 Phylicia Berquist

While crowds of tourists fill Venice, Florence and Rome, Bologna remains relatively quiet in comparison. This medieval university town is charming, historic and fun to explore… and you'll find Bologna's local cuisine is light-years away from the American deli meat bearing the city's name.

Il Salotto di Penelope

We are a cookign scool in a professional kitchen, we offer every day classes in the morning and in the afternoon for people who are interested in Bolognes and Italian food tradition. You prepare all recipes by scratch and enjoy the meal with what you made. The classes are by appointment

Reviewed By 742st_phanel

In October 2018, I had the pleasure of taking a cooking class with Valeria and Barbara, two wonderful ladies, passionate about their craft and equipped with a great sense of humour. The class itself is done in a very professional setting (large kitchen, big table easy to work on etc) but in a very relaxing ambiance. Their passion is contagious and you will not only acquire a skill but also learn to love making food from Emilia-Romagna. I highly recommend spending a few hours at the Salotto di Penelope and if time permits, take the market tour prior to the class. The tour provides you with very useful information on local products that you can use when you go back home. I am already planning my next visit....

If you want to attend a school to help you learn or improve, your Italian Academya LIngue is the one to choose from. We have attended many Italian language schools in the US and Italy. This by far is the best. The teachers and the owner Andrea are great. They are always available to help the students progress. The class material and the teachers are excellent and experienced. Great school, beautiful location, a fantastic city to learn, what more can one ask for.

Madrelingua Scuola di Italiano

Come to Bologna and study Italian with us. Choose a one-day introductory course, or study for longer and learn more!

Reviewed By EmmaH5599

If you want to learn Italian quickly and accurately while having loads of fun then Madrelingua Bologna is THE language school to choose. You'll be in a group of international students who have the same level of Italian as you, so you'll be challenged without being out of your depth! The 4 hours of lessons each morning fly by and in the afternoons you can either go sightseeing or join a group activity. These are great because they provide more opportunities to practise the language with other students. You won't run out of things to do in Bologna; it's packed with museums, galleries, music venues, beautiful churches and of course shops, and is relatively compact so everything is within walking distance. I've been to Madrelingua twice and am already planning my next trip!

Reviewed By lorenzobonavita - Bologna, Italy

Very interesting and professional course...for people with different level of experience. Antonella and Genesio are really involved and you can feel the passion they put in what theay and love...and when you're involved you're able to involve, that's the mosto important thing. I attended the cours "burger buns and pizza bread"; Antonella helps you in following the preparation step by step and she's really well assisted by Genesio managing cameras; it seems to be in the presence insted of online Can't wait to attend new courses and try new endeavor. Thank you so much for everything Lorenzo
