"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
Check out Osteria Bottega for bolognese classics. Literally everything is good except the wine list at Osteria Bottega, which needs to be much better to match the food on the table, but the lasagna, tortellini in brodo, tagliatelle al ragu, and salumi more than make up for it.
