"Try the fluffy puff filled with custard cream, lightly fried and covered in sugar. Then walk up to San Luca to atone for your sin." - Taste of Bologna
Allegra
Bar · Marconi
"At Allegra, you are treated to one of Bologna's finest croissants – a rich, buttery delight generously filled with a luscious crema pasticcera that seems straight out of a dream." - Taste Bologna
Gino Fabbri Pastry la caramella
Cake shop · Dozza
"Bad news first: it’s not properly in the city center and you need to take a taxi to get there. Good news: it will be worth every second of your trip. Gino Fabbri is the best pastry chef in Bologna, no doubt about it. All he does is give you first-quality butter, milk, flour and vanilla. He learned how to combine them after many years of practice. Plus, he looks like the Bolognese cheerful grandfather. You need an offensive strategy: focus on a croissant filled with custard cream and attack in the flank with some mignons. Get the panettone iif you're there for Christmas." - Taste Bologna
Trattoria Bertozzi
Restaurant · Malpighi
"For a sit-down experience, Trattoria Bertozzi regularly tops Bologna’s long list of excellent traditional restaurants. It’s almost a mile from the centre, far enough away to maintain its authentic ethos, with local dishes such as gramigna with cured pork, courgettes, saffron and shaved parmesan." - Guardian/Lonely Planet
Mercato delle Erbe
Fresh food market · Marconi
"Pop into century-old Mercato delle Erbe indoor fresh market for a bite at one of its casual counter-serve or sit-down restaurants." - CN Traveler
Forno Brisa Galliera - Bakery & Specialty Coffee
Cafe · Marconi
"Lighter bites for breakfast and lunch are delightful at Forno Brisa, a “rebel bakery” with incredible breads, pastries, chocolate, and coffee across its five stores." - CN Traveler
Vâgh íñ ufézzí
Bistro · S. Petronio
"Vâgh iñ Uffézí is awesome for filled pastas like balanzoni (spinach tortelloni filled with ground pork and ricotta)." - Katie Parla
Le Golosità Di Nonna Aurora
Restaurant · Bolognana
"For comfort food like passatelli in brodo, tagliatelle ripassate in padella, and lasagna." - Katie Parla
La Lanterna di Diogene
Restaurant · Modena
An hour away by train but seems to be worth it. "For a memorable meal outside of Modena, it’s hard to beat La Lanterna di Diogene. Not only are the owners of this agriturismo the nicest people with the most sensational Lambrusco list, the restaurant and farm also provide employment and professional training to people with special needs." - Katie Parla
