Bologna-Spring 2024

We are planning a two week trip to Bologna in Spring of 2024. I wnt through the recent posts on Bologna and there are not very many of them. we have not been to that city in over 20 years. If anyone has been there recently and has any suggestions, I would appreciate them.

Bologna in March

My son is finishing his last term of law school in Paris. I am going to visit him and we will take a short trip to Bologna at the end of my visit so he and I can enjoy being Italian citizens in Italy (we got our Italian passports last January). Due to a school requirement, we will be arriving late on a Friday and leaving Monday at 2:30. I want to make the most of our brief visit since he has never been to Bologna and although I have been a couple of times, I haven’t been for years. I’d love your…

Trattoria Amerigo 1934 (Bologna)

Beside the a la carte menu, it also has two shorter tasting menus which might be some of the most affordable one anywhere - and the food, service and ambience is outstanding.…

Corbezzoli (Bologna)

It turned out finding good restaurants in Bologna was quite difficult - and not because the city doesn’t have any good ones but we were visiting when many of the restaurants we were interested were closed due to vacations. For our first restaurant in Bologna we picked Corbezzoli https://www.corbezzoli.com/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=mybusiness which was quite well known for their different tasting menus and takes on traditional dishes. As it turns out they have changed the…

Bologna--Osteria Bottega

This restaurant is on just about every list about Bologna and, in my humble opinion, it lived up to the hype. We shared a platter of prosciutto, mortadella and salami. The plate for two went unfinished by the four of us. I think it was the best prosciutto I’ve ever tasted, so sweet and porky. None of us loved the salami though. Then we decided on four pasta dishes. Ranked in ascending order, they were: tagliatelle al ragù, (basic and classic) tagliatelle with culatello di Zibello (the culatello…
