Taylor-made cooking classes designed for the advanced tourist seeking new, unforgettable experiences.
BECOMING A SFOGLINA
Cooking is a universal language that needs no translation, but our sfogline can offer classes in English and French, in order to teach the most authentic tradition and art of fresh pasta to anyone who wants to learn about Bologna through its gastronomical specialities.
PERSONALIZE YOUR EXPERIENCE AT PORTICI ACADEMY
We are in the heart of the historic center, in a prime location for those who want to combine sightseeing with a high-level culinary experience. We offer the possibility of organizing customized courses and events both in Italian and in language (English – French) for small or large groups, combining our cooking classes with the offer of our restaurant Bottega Portici that you can find on the floor below the Academy.
LOCATION
Portici Academy is located on the third floor of Palazzo Bega, a historic building in the downtown area of Bologna, overlooking the Two Towers. From our windows you can enjoy a unique view of the city while enjoying a cooking class or participating in one of our Cooking Team Building events.
The Sala Academy has a large central kitchen island and 18 spacious stations that are set up according to the course being taught.
Participants can then work individually and follow the instructor’s step-by-step directions during our cooking classes or in pairs as we use to do in Cooking Team Building to encourage teamwork.
On the lower floors you will also find our restaurant Bottega Portici specialised in fresh handmade pasta made daily by our sfogline. It is a casual food restaurant that offers local dishes in a contemporary, practical and sustainable way.
When you finish your event at the Academy, you can pair it with lunch or an aperitif, in the comfort of the Bottega.
