Stopped in as part of a food tour, so the experience was probably different than it would be if we…read morehad just popped in. As a result, the service was super friendly and attentive. There are a bunch of cute stores. Solid amount of options between pasta, cheese, meat, produce. I'm not sure I necessarily would have needed to come here it it weren't part of a food tour but in the end it was a nice experience. Not as overwhelming as some other similar markets may be and a nice way to see some of the authenticity of the area.

Perfect night at the perfect place to have dinner. Fried bread for antipasti, green lasagna with…read moretraditional ragu, tortellini with parmigiano reggiano cheese, and tortellini in beef and manzo broth. Complemented with white wine from Bologna winery and tiramisu for the dessert.

I always love going to all the different markets when I travel and this one didn't disappoint…read more Fresh fruits, meats, cheese, fish, pastas, bakery items, side dishes, this market has it all plus many restaurants to try. It's always a pleasure to walk around and soak in the local experience. There are a number of places to eat and I would recommend 2 restaurants to try in the market. Balsamico e Cucina - Monari Federzoni & Da Sergio "Abruzzo e le sue meraviglie " both are good for lunch or an afternoon snack. Great place to purchase gifts for the people back home.

Hahaha - somehow the overall rating for this market is four and a half stars?! That's like giving…read moreheaven a 4.5 star rating! In my fantasies, I bicycle to this market every day for provisions, which I then cook in my beautiful apartment overlooking the square. In reality, we circled the market several times, wishing we each had three stomachs so we could try everything in sight. We did a tasting of balsamic vinegars at Monari Federzoni, led by a lovely and knowledgeable young lady who spoke excellent English. Then we ate delicious little meatballs glazed in balsamic with sweet and sour onions, and tortellini with parmesan cream, washed down with Lambrusco - a five star experience if I ever had one!

We were visiting Livorno and came here to check out this popular central market place. It's got…read moremany vendors selling baked goods, meats, seafood, cured meats, cheeses, and some other items. They have food vendors inside as well. The entire place is interesting and clearly been around a long time. It was about 2/3 populated with vendors, so there were plenty of empty spaces. Overall, it's one of the very few things to see/do in Livorno. There isn't a lot going on in this town otherwise.

This market was lovely. It has an abundance of meats, cheeses, and produce available. The clerks we…read moreinteracted with were all very friendly and helpful. The building itself is beautiful and clearly very historical. The restrooms were clean and we got to pet a sweet dog on our way out.

I have been eating periodically at Trattoria da Gianni since 1958. Every time I come back I find it…read moremore delizioso than before. I was recently in Bologna with my son and his family and I brought them to Gianni since they had never experienced my favorite place to eat in Bologna. We were in Florence the week before where the food was good. However, my son was amazed by the Gianni experience. He raved about the meal we had and thought the food was the best he had ever enjoyed. I agree with him. The spuma di mortadella was out of this world. The vitello tonnato was delicious. Each one of the seven of us had a different first course and they were all excellent. The service was great. The ambience has changed over the years since I first came here. It is a homey place and well kept. If you are ever in Bologna Trattoria da Gianni is highly recommended.

Amazing gelato! I had the stracitella which was beautiful! Addition of eggs gave it a yellow colour…read morebut made the taste fantastic! 3 days in Bologna and we went twice!
