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

Matias was excellent and took us to a few different places where we tasted the traditional food as we also walked around the city discovering interesting facts about some of the historic spots. Really liked the fact that the group was small, there were 6 of us only (and he said his maximum are 8) so it's pretty much a private experience!

Mattia is a wonderful tour guide! If you want a tour where you really get one on one time, and your guide really gets to know you … this is it!! Mattia made it feel like we were just hanging out with a friend that was showing us the city. He is an amazing storyteller and we learned so much about the city and tasted DELICIOUS food!! Book this tour!! It will forever be one of my favorites. Thank you Mattia!

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.
