Old-school - and excellent! - salumeria in centro. The…read moresalumerie near piazza maggiore have been around for a _while_, and an increasing number of them now offer seating - indoor and outdoor - to support the folks who want to hang out and work their way through mortadella, culatello, prosciutto, and the like. Tamburini is one of the older ones around, and it shows (tables, chairs, etc.). Its also one of the nicer ones around - especially if you go back a few times. The switch from "tourist" to "regular" is, seemingly, at visit no. 2. Anyhow, go there, get some wine, get some salumi (and be adventurous)...

The restaurant menu offers good variety from burgers to steaks at reasonable prices. Service is good, a full bar is available with an assortment of desserts. I ordered the American burger with fries. The beef does taste distinctly different from the States as does their Coca-Cola products. Overall, its a very large and clean restaurant that focuses on American classic food in Bologna.

Craft beer and wine bar with outdoor seating? What more could this California girl want??…read more We were walking around Modena when it started to rain. So, we stopped by Mamma Puglia's for a drink to wait it out. They had some outdoor seating under an awning. The staff were nice and the prices were reasonable. And they offered a small selection of snacks, which smelled delish but we weren't hungry at that time. If we had more time in Modena, I would go back.

But we ended up ordering the pasta here anyways and it was sooo delightful. I've been torn between going back every meal and wanting to try other things but I think this is the best pasta I had in italy!! Perfect al dente, loved the sauce - flavor, consistency and sauce to noodle ratio was perfect for both the tortellini and the tagliatelle ragu and after a certain hour the menu expands and everything seriously looks and smells heavenly. Dont let the line outside discourage you. The wait is worth it!!

Love this small vibrant Osteria. When we arrived we were afraid that we would be turned away as the…read moreOsteria was totally packed and a big waiting line. We were just asked to take a seat and it might be a while. Great. We got lucky there were parties before us that were waiting to seat 3 or 4. Within 10 minutes we were seated ahead of the larger parties. The place sits about 24 inside and almost that many outside. We looked around and almost all young Italians. A great sign. The place had energy. We looked at the food around us and we were happy. The menu is not very large which can someone very good...let's cook what we do best. Since the pasta dishes looked so good we had to have them. Tagliatelle Ragu and the Spaghetti alla Gricia with Guanciale. Both dishes were amazing. Delicious! And reasonably priced. $39 EUR for two with drinks. Highly recommend. Will definitely return on our next visit.

This Eataly in Bologna is different from most other locations in that it's half bookstore, half…read moreeverything else you'd expect from an Eataly (cafe, bar, grocery store). Located in a three-story building a stone's throw east from the main Piazza Maggiore and directly across the alley from Mercato di Mezzo (a separate moderate sized food hall), the Eataly retail space is spread over all 3 floors, with groceries mainly located on the 2nd story. The ground/1st floor is mostly books and a casual bar/cafe, where they serve simple pastries and coffee/tea in the morning and apertivo options (meaning light bites and classic cocktails) in the early evening. Upstairs on the second floor (1st floor for Europeans ;), there is a selection of olive oils, vinegars, condiments, dry goods, snacks, candies, wines and liquors, and gifting items. A smaller selection of grocery items than other Eataly locations and no fresh produce. There is a wine bar/beer garden area upstairs as well though it didn't seem to be in use during the couple times I dropped by in early April, however the still carried quite a broad wine selection considering the space. I dropped by one late afternoon and tried the fried polenta and an aperol spritz. The food was kinda unimpressive, the fried polenta felt a bit thick and heavy, the drink was ok. It took a while to wait for the food though the drink was ready fairly quickly. Overall a convenient location to pick up a food/cook book in Italian or other souvenirs.
