Step by Step
This tour focuses on the gastronomic specialities of Bologna and lasts approximately 4 hours. An expert guide will accompany you through the city centre, giving you the opportunity to taste the following delicacies.
- Pastries - Bologna is the birthplace of sweets such as Zuccherini montanari or Raviole di San Giuseppe. The guide will make you taste the most famous and tasty specialties
- Parmigiano Reggiano - A natural cheese, without additives or lactose. It is made only with milk, natural rennet and salt. It stands out on the palate for its sweet and herbaceous taste, which becomes spicier after a long maturation period.
- Homemade pasta - Bologna and its region are famous for their stuffed pasta. Tortellini - to eat in broth - are the classic of classics, but tagliatelle (thin, flat egg pasta) is also worth a try. You will also discover the secrets of how to make the best fresh pasta.
- Charcuterie - The fields surrounding the city produce top quality delicacies. Typical tastings include Prosciutto di Parma (raw, sweet-tasting prosciutto), Mortadella and Coppa Piacentina, a tasty sausage made from the meat of the pig's neck.
- Balsamic Vinegar of Modena - A vinegar with a sweet and sour taste, low acidity and a particularly dark colour. If it is so famous today, much of the credit goes to the noble family of the House of Este, who made it known to the rulers of the old continent.
- Handmade ice cream - Prepared with fresh ingredients and less air
Along with the aforementioned food, the tour includes a secret dish, as well as water, coffee and soft drinks. Along the tour you will also see Bologna's sights such as the Basilica of San Petronio and Piazza Maggiore.
