Mosaics make you hungry, I know.Ravenna is small, and it's easy to end up eating in the first place you see after San Vitale. Sometimes that works. Often it doesn't.These are the 10 restaurants I recommend to friends and guests: family trattorias that have been rolling cappelletti for decades, osterias bringing back forgotten Romagna recipes, seafood places that know the Adriatic, and one garden f

Ravenna's food scene is no less interesting than its mosaics.The most common food to eat in Ravenna is piadina, a typical bread served with prosciutto, rocket salad, and squacquerone cheese. You will find it in small kiosks on the beaches or in the city, or served at every restaurant.Another popular Ravenna dish is pasta. Curzul (similar to tagliatelle), passatelli, and cappelletti are the most fa

Doctors give many rules, which I’m not always happy to follow. But when it comes to breakfast, I totally agree with them: it’s better to eat well in the morning.Here in Bologna, we usually treat ourselves to one or two buttery and creamy croissants and a great cappuccino, naturally.Here are the places where I usually go to start the day with a twist of taste.

Forget eggs and bacon. Breakfast here is fast, sweet, and mostly eaten standing at the counter: a cappuccino and a brioche (what the rest of Italy calls cornetto), plain or filled with custard, jam, or pistachio cream. Five minutes, unless you find someone to chat about football, and you're back on the street.Two things worth knowing. Standing at the counter is often cheaper than sitting at a tabl

Every Bolognese has a tortellini place, and every Bolognese thinks the others are wrong.I've been eating them in this city all my life, so here's my shortlist: where to eat the best tortellini in brodo in Bologna, where to buy them fresh, and the official recipe if you want to fold 1,000 of them at home.

In Bologna, tortellini belong in broth. Clear, rich, made with beef and hen, never from a cube. That's the version to judge a place by.How to spot a good one at the table: the tortellini are small (five should fit on a spoon), the pasta is thin but still has a bite, and the broth is clean enough to see the bottom of the bowl.

Bologna may seem challenging for vegetarians at first glance. The city is famously home to iconic meat-based dishes like ragù and mortadella, and the food markets are filled with cured meats at every turn.So if you don't eat meat, how can you survive here?Follow my lead, grab a fork, and discover Bologna's best vegetarian food.

Here's a list of the best vegetarian dishes in Bologna, from antipasto, pasta, and street food.

You can't skip the Louvre or the Prado. But nobody's making you spend your whole trip queuing for masterpieces.Bologna and Emilia-Romagna have museums for people who actually got lost in the Louvre looking for the exit, plus a few nobody puts on a list: an ocarina museum, a shrine to broken farm tools, a Sunday-only vinyl archive.Here are my 18 favorites, big names and weird ones included.

How many museums are there in Bologna? Bologna boasts over a hundred museums and cultural spaces, offering a diverse and extensive range of experiences—from intimate collections to contemporary art venues, ensuring something for every taste.
