All'Osteria Bottega

"This address is no secret to dining lists, but it earns mixed approval from locals, based mostly on cost. Ultimately, though, this might be Bologna’s most reliable restaurant in terms of food quality, consistency, service, and wine list. Slow-food presidia products star, like a 36-month naturally cured culatello di Zibello sourced from local heritage varieties of swine. Osteria Bottega manages to execute a wide range of traditional Bolognese fare with high marks from start to finish. Perhaps the strongest offering is the cured meat selection from fine producers and the game-heavy main courses, such as pigeon in a wine reduction." - Coral Sisk
