Bologna: Exclusive Home Restaurant Dinner with Wine Expert

Your experience

Experience an exclusive evening of traditional Emilian cuisine and genuine hospitality with this special home restaurant experience in Bologna. The private dinner takes place in a beautiful home in the heart of the city, in an intimate, private, and family-like atmosphere. Weather permitting, the meal will be served on the splendid outdoor terrace, providing the ideal setting for an unforgettable evening. The absolute star will be a true Bolognese sfoglina, guardian of local culinary secrets, who will prepare a home-cooked dinner for you consisting of an appetizer, first course, and dessert, all strictly handmade. Accompanying the dinner will be two wine tastings carefully selected to enhance the flavors of the menu, presented step-by-step by a wine expert who will guide the experience, sharing curiosities, characteristics, and stories of each glass.

To satisfy every palate, at the time of booking, you can choose from three different personalized culinary proposals. Those desiring a journey through the most authentic flavors can opt for the traditional Bolognese menu, which begins with a soft mortadella mousse with warm croutons or piadina, continues with iconic egg tagliatelle rolled by hand with a rolling pin in ragù or filled tortelloni, and concludes with a timeless artisanal tiramisù. If you instead prefer an elegant and refined alternative that celebrates the sea, the fish menu offers scallops au gratin or shrimp croquettes, followed by handmade fish ravioli or fresh seafood tagliolini, ending with a refreshing sorbet. Finally, the sfoglina’s special menu tells the story of home cooking through sincere and seasonal ingredients, offering pappa al pomodoro or assorted bruschettas, fragrant risottos or stuffed pork rolls depending on the time of year, and an enveloping warm apple crumble.

To guarantee maximum comfort and allow you to travel in total relaxation, you can also choose to add the convenient round-trip private transfer service directly from your hotel or accommodation in the center of Bologna to the experience. A unique food and wine experience, perfect for couples and small groups wishing to discover the true soul of Bologna through stories of passion, conviviality, and great wine.
