One of the restaurants in the food court is Il Prosciuttaio. Here, I had some delicious pasta and my husband chomped a porchetta sandwich. The service here was good and our entire meal cost only 18 Euro. It was one of our cheapest meals in Europe!

I've never had Chinese in Italy and Rosticceria Cinese Grande Ricco was very close to where we were…read morestaying. So I felt compelled to diligence the place. Ill echo what some other reviewers have said: It tastes like US food court food. So if I was reviewing this in SF, it would get a solid 1-star. But it gets an extra star because my expectations for Firenze in the Chinese food department are lower. And it gets an extra star because it is cheap. I ordered 3 items to-go: shumai which was ok but a bit gummy, a vegetarian steamed dumpling which was good, and a shrimp toast which was decent (Im not sure why I ordered it. Maybe the description as crostini gamerti sounded interesting). So if you want cheap, 'Americanized' Chinese, it is an OK place.

Right smack in the foodie corner of Bologna where all tourists must visit, is this little food-hall…read moretype of market, offering a variety of restaurants and booths offering many delicacies. Seafood, pizza, pasta, sandwiches, burgers... as well as drinks and desserts. There is a common area of tables and chairs, plus a few restaurants with their own seats. It's crazy busy during dining hours, so go at off hours if you can to avoid the crowd. Many of the shops have bilingual menus or visual displays of their dishes, plus a staff with good command of English, so ordering shouldn't be difficult. We ate at one of the restaurants called Sorelle Ribelli, and tried a pasta dish gramigna (a local specialty), and it was excellent. Wish we had more time to explore the market better and tried more food, but as it was only a day trip for us we had to move on to sightseeing. If we ever make it back to Bologna, we'd love to stop by again.
