Our private cooking experiences are a great fit for birthdays, hen parties, stag dos, family celebrations, reunions, and small corporate gatherings. Instead of sharing the kitchen with other guests, you’ll have the entire experience reserved exclusively for your group, making it easy to celebrate in a relaxed and personal setting.
La Soffritta Bologna can accommodate up to 16 guests. The space is designed to feel welcoming and interactive, allowing everyone to take part in the cooking process while enjoying time together. If you’re planning something larger, feel free to contact us and we’ll discuss the available options.
Absolutely. One of the biggest advantages of a private cooking class is flexibility. We usually start from seasonal recipes inspired by Bolognese and Italian traditions, then adapt the menu to your group’s preferences, dietary requirements, and special requests. Whether you want to learn fresh pasta, traditional local dishes, or something completely different, we’ll create the experience together.
Not at all. Our chefs guide the group throughout the entire experience, making it enjoyable for complete beginners and confident home cooks alike. The goal isn’t perfection—it’s having fun, learning something new, and sharing a memorable experience together.
After a warm welcome, your group will prepare a selection of dishes under the guidance of our chefs. Everyone gets involved in the hands-on cooking process, and once everything is ready, you’ll sit down together and enjoy the meal you’ve created. It’s a social and interactive experience rather than a traditional cooking lesson.
Yes. We regularly host guests from all over the world and can run the entire experience in English. Many visitors choose a private cooking class as a fun and authentic way to discover Bologna’s food culture beyond restaurants and food tours.
Yes. Because the event is private, we can adapt the menu more easily than in a shared class. We simply ask that you let us know about any allergies, intolerances, or dietary preferences in advance so we can plan the experience accordingly.
Because the experience becomes part of the celebration. Instead of simply sitting down for a meal, you’ll cook, laugh, learn, and share the experience together. For many groups, the time spent preparing the dishes becomes just as memorable as eating them.
