A quick high-speed train drops you straight into the food-obsessed heart of Bologna, a vibrant city where dining is a way of life. Forget standard, scripted walking tours. We’re skipping generic monuments to dive straight into Bologna’s soul: its legendary food culture, fiercely guarded ingredients, and the bold stories behind its icon status.

Seasonal bites may include: Warm, fluffy tigelle and crescentine stuffed with melt-in-your-mouth cured meats. The Holy Trinity: Mortadella, aged Parmigiano Reggiano, and hand-rolled tagliatelle with slow-cooked ragù. Crispy fried tortellini and rich lasagna. Daily market finds handpicked by your local guide. Come hungry: these generous portions easily make a full meal. You won't just eat you'll experience La Grassa like a true local!

Where this sits in Florence
Florence is about 8 min by road from Florence Peretola Airport. Compact enough to cross on foot in half an hour, and holding more Renaissance art than most countries. Busy in the middle and calm five minutes out; the Oltrarno side of the river is where people actually live and eat.
