Via Pescherie Vecchie is one of the most interesting little streets of Bologna. At the entrance…read morethere are a couple of cured meat & cheese shops (which double as bistrots) with mouth-watering displays of dozens of types of prosciutto and parmigiano reggiano. Following are the little fruit & vegetable shops, their fresh products exposing your eyes to a festival of colors. The first bistro on the street, Caffe del Mercato, is my favorite breakfast & aperitivo spot. After 6pm they offer a large open buffet with many different types of bruschettas, frittatas, pasta, meatballs (polpette) etc. Buffet + drink costs only 8 euros, and everything is delicious. Plus you cannot find this atmosphere anywhere else in the world. Not to forget that the service is always excellent--the waiters are super friendly, welcoming, and handsome too!

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.
