My wife and I went to Bologna mostly because we heard the food from the region is amazing. We spent the day with Marcello and his son Emanuele in the areas around Bologna. We went to a Parmesan cheese factory, prosciutto factory and balsamic factory. "Factory" is sort of a misnomer here as these are all very small family run... More

My wife and I, our 3 teenage children and my mother went on our first holiday to Northern Italy over Easter 2012. After reading up, we felt the best way to understand the culture would be with a market tour of Bologna and cooking class. We signed up well in advance to do this the first day of our trip... More

My husband and three teenagers along with myself did the market tour with Rafaella and then went back to her home later in the day to prepare all sorts of delicious foods. It was such a fun thing to do and everything was amazingly easy enough to do and tasted unbelievable! Would definitely recommend to anyone. More

Still basking in the afterglow of a glorious week in Emilia Romagna made exceptional by our fantastic hosts Marcello and Raffaella Tori! As a professional chef who believes Italy is the centre of the culinary universe, I knew I was going to love this trip, however it exceeded my expectations and I cannot wait to return!! From truffle hunting, to... More

I have visited Rafaella and Marcello's cooking adventure two times in the past two years, and would recommend it to anyone interested in the delicious foods in Bologna. The first time I visited I took my husband, who doesn't cook, and he was fascinated by the market tour and fabulous dinner we made for that evening. The Tori's are so... More

We were a group of 4 traveling through Italy in mid January 2012. Unfortunately we only had 2 nights in Bologna and were keen to get a taste of the local food and wines despite our short trip. We emailed Marcello and Rafaella and at very short notice and during the quiet season they were able to put together a... More

My daughter and I went to Bologna because of it food reputation and chose this tour because of trip advisor reviews - I am so glad we did!! We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of the market area, but that was nothing to our enjoyment of the second part of the tour - the cooking and then the eating of the... More

Hello All, first let me say I've been to Italy now 5 times since 2007 - from Bolzano to Ragusa Ibla and from Genova to Rimini and this was my second visit to Bologna. I had my first visit to Bologna in Sept 2011 and to be honest, I was not a big fan. Too hot, too stifling, no air,... More

Rafaella and Marcello are a wonderful couple and their warmth and hospitality cannot be matched. They offer are a truly unique experience that allows you to take in so much of beautiful Emilia-Romagna and Bologna in as many days as you have planned. They are flexible with their time and once you meet them you appreciate just how much of... More

We spent a week with Marcello, Raffaello, and their daughter, Francesca, and their son, Emanuele. We've never experienced anything so wonderful in our lives! We had "hands on" cooking lessons, both at their home and in kitchens in lovely villas. We had cooking lessons in the kitchens of fabulous restaurants. We went white truffle hunting, to an olive mill, to... More
