If you’re looking for what to do in Bologna, the response will probably involve lots of food and wine. Whether you’re talking about the slices of cured meat, such as the Prosciutto from Parma, the crumbling Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, Balsamic Vinegar from Modena, a hearty tagliatelle ragù, or a sparkling Lambrusco wine, the region of Emilia-Romagna produces some of the best, must-eat foods for any visit to Italy. Whether it’s your first time in Bologna, or you’ve been before, make sure to try the different unique plates of this city.

Trattoria del Rosso
@daniellecohen
This is a tried and true classic, that will never disappoint. It is so hard to choose just one dish here. From the cotoletta bolognese, the lasagna, gramigna, all of the classic Bolognese dishes can be found here and are just so delicious.

Enoteca Italiana
@daniellecohen
If you want a truly local experience, this place will make you feel like home. With a little bit of everything, this enoteca is the perfect spot for a glass or two of wine and some small bites like some meats and cheeses or even a spot for lunch with lasagna and other local dishes.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Danielle Cohen
Available for hire
Ciao! My name is Danielle and I'm a Californian from San Diego, who's been living full time in Florence, Italy since 2020. I studied in Florence in 2016 and absolutely fell in love with the food, culture, and history, and made it my mission to move back. I moved right before the pandemic, and staying here through all the lockdowns and pandemic life really helped me discover slow travel and find all of Italy's beauty, including lesser known gems, and off the beaten path travel spots.
During my three years in Florence, I have wrote for publications like The Florentine, done freelance marketing with restaurants and a travel agency, giving me high insight into the best destinations, foodie spots, and more.
I am here to help you make the most of your vacation in Italy with curated itineraries for every type of traveler and digital maps to help you enjoy THE BEST food each region has to offer. Let me do the work so you can just relax and enjoy, without any stress! I've had a very unique experience living in Italy the last 4 years, as I made my official move right before the pandemic, after visiting for years. Because of this I learned to travel locally and deeply throughout the numerous incredible destinations in Italy and for that I cater my travel services to finding the most local and mindful experiences, keeping true to discovering and appreciating Italy's culture.
