It's an interesting marketing concept that I wish would catch on in the U.S. :) The space is very large and features both indoor and outdoor seating. It was extremely busy when we arrived but we managed to snag a table for two outside. The tapas buffet selection was varied and interesting and included finger sandwiches, pastas, rice, pastries, and more. As an added bonus, they bring you a complimentary cheese pizza just make sure to ask for it. We only stayed for one cocktail each but mine was very delicious and packed a punch. The food was just good/ok. Nothing mindblowing in a country where mindblowing food can be found on every corner but worth a stop in for the money.

What makes a great cup of coffee?…read more We look for smoothness and complexity, with no off-flavors. The beans should be neither under-roasted nor charred, and the brew should have at least moderate aroma and flavor. All these features make a perfect cup of coffee which can add as much energy and freshness as you can imagine. And if you want to experience it, then here is the BEST place for you.

Then you almost walk into FP Pallotti Franco Never mind that you just had a satisfying lunch a few hours ago but, you're in Bologna where everything screams deliciousness. We ogled from outside, we saw specialty coffees being served, more importantly we saw an oasis of sweets. Had to come in here. And when I did oooooh, ooooh. I honed in on the desserts. We tried the panna cotta, chocolate/pistachio bonbon and a tortina. Loved the bites we had so much we vowed to come back. I think you will too.

We got really lucky and skipped the line when we came around 5:15pm on a Saturday. Lovely homey vibe inside and servers are amazing. Can watch your order be prepared in the semi open kitchen!

They sit you in the back room and the ambience is fairly casual. We tried a couple of pasta dishes with wine. And then had the pavlova dessert. I wish we could've tried more pasta.

Antico Caffee Scaletto served the best espresso this coffee snob had while visiting Bologna, Italy…read more It's far from the best coffee in all of Italy, but it's a quality pull of traditional espresso. I figured this place would be pretty legit based on the how crowded it was inside in the early afternoon. Locals were packed inside, but we managed to slip into a standing spot at the bar. Ordered two macchiatos (espresso with a dollop of cream) from the no-nonsense barista. I was surprised at the beautiful coffees we were served. Great care went into making these, and you could taste the expertise. Lots of tasty looking pastries were offered as well, but we didn't order any. This is a great place to stop for an afternoon espresso.
