Description
Discover the authentic soul of Bologna on a journey through hidden alleys and historic shops. This isn't just a food tour; it's a "behind-the-scenes" look at the city's culinary heritage. Start in Piazza Maggiore and dive into the medieval Quadrilatero market. Taste local icons: a perfect espresso, traditional Rice Cake, and warm Tigelle stuffed with premium cold cuts. At Mercato delle Erbe, enjoy Parmigiano Reggiano with authentic Balsamic vinegar. The highlight? An exclusive "pasta show" where a master sfoglina reveals ancient secrets of the rolling pin.
