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.

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.

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.

This place has the Central Perk kind of vibe, for the Friends aficionados out there, a cafe where you feel like spending a good hour chatting with friends while also indulging a bit. The pastry and tart selection is definitely rich, the tea selection a bit on the low end, but acceptable. We had cappuccino and a selection of mignons, but I feel that the food is actually a secondary item, the atmosphere takes the cake, no pun intended. The place can get crowded, but there's a fast enough turnover so that the wait is never longer than 10 minutes. All credit cards are accepted, as long as you spend over €10. Add a couple of cookies and you're there already, because the pricing is also very NY-esque. The difference is that you have no skyscrapers around, but you're smack in the center of Bologna, walking distance to the major attractions. If you need to get that extra dose of caffeine after that dish of tagliatelle, or just rest after a day of strolling around, Bianca is a welcome oasis of sweet coziness.
