CUISINE IN BOLOGNA
The cuisine in Bologna will always delight the visitors to this city. The culinary tradition is constantly there and they do mix the modern with the traditional without sacrificing any creativity. Typical dishes like the puff pasty dishes, as well as the famous tasting mortadella (ham), the tiny tortellini as well as the pale yellow tagliatelle with meat sauce. The wines of the area are really sought after throughout the world and with regional wines like Barbera, Cabarnet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Bianco, Riesling Italico and Lambrusco to name but a few. They say (old wives tale) that the tortellini was invented by some local cook, who was so enchanted after having seen Venus’ navel, that he wanted to reproduce it with his own hands. The pastry shops and ice cream parlours as well as the small traditional restaurants like the Al Caminetto dOro, the Meloncello and the Belle Arti as well as the Boni are just around the corner from the Piazza XVIII Agosto. The more expensive restaurants like the I Carracci, where one can taste the best of haute cuisine, and as you walk down via Indipendenza one will find Ristorante Diana, or the Franco Rossi, and do not forget to book a table at the Pappagalo, which is world famous and is not far from the Due Torri , which is the two towers. Pizzerias are plentiful here but are not the number one in this neighbourhood. The famous pizza would be a lot more popular further south. Pizzerias like the Il Doge and the Piedigrotta are beside the Piazza Maggiore and next to the stadium is the ever popular Al Tavolaccio. International cuisine is also opening up around the city. India restaurant has great curries, Piedra del Sol specialises in Mexican food, Budda is more a taste of Thailand that is not far from the University, and for some Greek dishes, try the La Taverna Partenone right next to the Piazza XVIII Agosto. The Chinese restaurant is also getting very popular and there is the Ru Yi restaurant as well as the Acquario restaurant. |
