    Pastas
    Grace L.

    Lots of cheap, delicious food. They also have a few bars that serve alcoholic drinks like cocktails and beers. There's plenty of seating, especially on the second floor and there are bathrooms on the basement level. Since the staff were mostly college-age students, it was easy to communicate in English and pay using credit card. Got a bunch of arancino and crocche - super delicious and filling. There are also freshly made pastas, but we didn't try those. I also really enjoyed the seafood vendor - they had a bunch of great side dishes, like a stuffed zucchini, calamari, and another squid dish. There were these fresh, raw shrimp that were so creamy and reminded me of Omakase-level quality. I still think about them to this day. This is located in a convenient part of town, with lots of other food options nearby. There's also a huge Eataly right across the street if you want more of a sit-down meal.

    Traditional bolognese tortellini. Made right in front of me at the market. DELICIOUS.

    Small yet bustling food hall in the heart of Bologna. Came here like a good foodie should and wasn't disappointed. There are a handful of food stands serving everything from pizza to coffee to sandwiches to pasta. The pasta stand is where the crowd was gathered so that's where I went too. (The pasta was fantastic once I was able to order -- Italians don't understand the concept of waiting your turn)! The market was sheer madness but nearly everyone there was a local -- always a good sign. Seating is virtually nonexistent, but check outside for a few hidden tables. It's also open until midnight which is one of the greatest things ever. Don't miss the artisanal beer pub in the basement!

    On a quest for the best pasta Bolognese in Bologna... this is worth the stop. Am awesome little "food court" Mercato with a mouth watering selection of everything Italian at great prices. With seating inside, outside and upstairs you can have whatever experience you would like. BTW the tortellini Bolognese from DeGusto can hold its own with any we've ever tasted Bon appetit!

    Awesome food court in central Bologna with vendors that are on par with some of the best restaurants I have ever been to. My boyfriend went to the pasta counter for tortellini Bolognese ... Rich, succulent sauce with dainty little tortellini. Molto Bene. I opted for Romanzo - saw a guy at the counter eating the special: duck over lentils with black truffles, of course accompanied by a glass of wine, and I was sold. The duck was cooked perfectly, but the stars of the dish were the lentils - warm and delicate little pockets of deliciousness that popped in my mouth. We were so full we couldn't even contemplate gelato....

    Cheap eats and craft beer, local wine, pastericerrias- all you can eat pretty much!

    Interesting variety of local and international foods , hot dogs, burgers and local bolognese specialities under on roof... not bad street food, could have been hotter though.

    Tagliatelle with meat sauce - very delish

    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.

    Eataly was located next door to our hotel in Bologna, Italy. We stopped by for a quick bite and…read moresome caffeine. The restaurant is a cute deli style that also serves wine and beer. We ordered mortadella panninis and cappuccinos. Both were good. The sandwich was simple, but filling. The cappuccinos were good. It's a nice place to take a break from walking and relax a bit. But if you're looking for a delicious authentic Italian meal, keep looking. This is more like a fancier subway sandwich shop.
