TORTELLINI MUST BE EATEN IN BROTH, NOT WITH CREAM SAUCE
TAGLIATELLE AL RAGU, NO SPAGHETTI BOLOGNESE
NO CAPPUCCINO AFTER LUNCH
OUR PARMIGIANO REGGIANO IS NOT PARMESAN CHEESE
AND MOST IMPORTANT OUR MORTADELLA DOESN'T TASTE LIKE BALONEY ;)
When in Bologna you can't miss the best bowl of tortellini in broth, handmade tagliatelle al ragu, the best selection of regional cured meat with our local wine, Aged Parmigiano Reggiano with Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Modena.
But also with us you visit the food market, the main square, the 2 towers and other main spots!
