ABOUT US

Ciao! My name is Bianca and nothing brings me greater joy than sharing the dishes I hold close to my heart. Yet, as my children have ventured off to explore the world, I've found myself with an empty kitchen and no one to pamper with my culinary creations.

But today, I'm thrilled to welcome you to a unique experience. Drawing from the cherished recipes passed down through generations by my grandmother, I'm here to teach you the time-honoured secrets of Bolognese cuisine.

My mission is simple: to preserve my family's culinary heritage, transcending borders and cultures. I welcome you to Villa Degli Olmi, once a hunting lodge, to join this centuries-old journey, where tradition meets innovation, and where the vibrant flavours of Bologna come to life in your home kitchen.

Andiamo!
