Bologna food and drink
Bologna style restaurants
Here is a selection of my favorite Bologna style restaurants where you will taste the best homemade pasta in town as well as many other amazing traditional dishes.
Owners often don't speak English, so please let me know if you need help for booking a table. I will be more than happy to take care of it!
Out of the way and heaving with locals, Trattoria Da Vito is one of the most iconic trattorias in town. The simple and rustic interior and solid, well prepared meals are the two main features of this Bologna style place. Don't mind about the apparently rude staff. It's just a fun attitude!

Being one of the last family run trattorias in town, Tony follows the most rigorous bolognese tradition and is not like some touristic restaurants around that area. You can eat many typical dishes: salumi, tagliatelle, tortellini and bolliti at very reasonable prices.

Trattoria Annamaria offers simple and traditional homemade Bolognese food from the countryside. Pasta is the real gem of the restaurant, since it's made entirely by hand at the workshop/store that is 20 m from the restaurant.
The dining room is simple and cozy. Look around the wall with memoriabilia of the famous celebrities that had visited and enjoyed their meals at Annamaria's kitchen.
