We will be in Bologna in May, and plan a “special” dinner, being in the foodie capital of Italy! What a plethora of restaurants there are! Does anyone have a favourite place that won’t require us to take out an extra mortgage?!🤦♀️
Last year Stanley Tucci featured Bologna in his “Searching for Italy” series. He highlighted Osteria del Sole. Take a look here: https://www.tastebologna.net/blog/stanley-tucci-bologna
Ristorante da Cesari was recommended to us by a local. Excellent dinner.
We liked da Cesari so much that we had dinner there twice.
Another vote for da Cesari.
Ooh where to eat in Bologna. I keep going back because I like the food so much!
For a foodie treat (get your reservations in early!): https://www.drogheriadellarosa.it/en/menu/
For a verrrrry long and pleasant dinner with so much beautiful food you will lose your will to leave: Antica Osteria Le Mura
And finally, if you want to try everything Bologna does best, I love Ristorante da Nello al Montegrappa, especially their fried zucchini blossoms, YUM!
Thanks, everyone! Keep those great suggestions flowing! Love this chat!
La Taverna Di Roberto
Hi, everyone! Thanks for all the great suggestions! We had a splendid trip!
In Bologna, we enjoyed a fabulous meal at Da Cesari! The pumpkin-stuffed ravioli were to die for!
Not a restaurant but https://www.italiandays.it/ is the most incredible food experience I’ve had. And it ends with a multicourse “light lunch” that includes local wine pairings. This is a must do when in Bologna.
@Tophcooks-pleased to see your feelings on the Bologna Food and Wine Tour from Italian Days. We have it booked although it will be cooler fall weather, but that’s not a deterrent. Have read many recommendations for it, but happy to see it’s still a hit.
And, have Ristorante da Cesari on our restaurant list but think by the time we hit Bologna we may well be tired of eating out-can one get tired of that?
Some out of the path suggestios:
- Max Poggi cucina,
- Al Cambio,
- I Portici,
- Marconi (in Sasso Marconi),
- Da Amerigo (Savigno),
- Fourghetti
- Ristorante Diana
- Al Pappagallo
