Schedule

☕Wake up like a true Italian: Start your day with the classic Italian combo: a creamy cappuccino and a buttery cornetto, just how the locals do it.

☀️Step into pasta paradise: Watch master pasta makers work their magic in an artisanal pasta workshop, where tradition, technique, and love are kneaded into every fold.

🧀🥩 Aperitivo Emilia-style: Snack on 6 types of local salumi like Mortadella, Prosciutto di Parma, Culatello di Zibello, aged Parmigiano Reggiano, and a glass (or two) of local vino.

🍝Pasta party lunch: Sit down for a soul-satisfying meal featuring three handmade pasta dishes, paired with regional wine. Carb heaven? Yes, please.

🍇 Balsamic magic: Taste the sweet, complex notes of real Aceto Balsamico di Modena, from the punchy IGP to the 25-year-aged DOP. This is liquid gold.

🍦 Cool it down with gelato bliss: End your journey with a silky artisanal gelato, the cherry on top of a dreamy food adventure.

Beyond the bites, you’ll explore Bologna’s main squares, lively markets, and secret spots, all brought to life by your local host’s stories and cultural gems.

  • 100% would recommend this tour!!

    Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone going to Bologna! Riccardo was both knowledgeable and entertaining throughout the entire tour, covering the beloved history of the food that originated from Bologna and also telling us some of the more quirky facts about the city. Thoroughly enjoyed all 4 hours and it felt almost as though it was too short. Much thanks to Riccardo and Delicious Bologna for making this a highlight of our trip!!

  • Don’t eat like a tourist. Do this instead.

    I highly recommend this tour. Our host Mattia exceeded our expectations. His knowledge and enthusiasm was exactly what we needed for our first time visiting Bologna. Without him we would have been lost, eating like an American without any clue of the culinary customs and traditions of the local flavor(other than what you can read online of course and without a translator). I commend Mattia for sharing his culture and preserving the art of dining with understanding. Without this tour you may as well hit the buffet and tourist traps. Thanks for ruining my palette. I look forward to sharing this experience with all. Stay DOP. We loved it!
