Discovering the historic taverns of Bologna
Bologna's historic taverns are hidden treasures that tell the story of the city through flavours. As a New Yorker in love with Italy, I found in these taverns not only exquisite dishes, but also living pages of Bolognese history.
A journey through time through the taverns
Each osteria in Bologna has its own peculiarity, be it architecture, history or a signature dish. “Osteria Del Sole”, for example, is a journey into the past. Founded in 1465, this tavern is a place where time seems to have stood still, with its rustic setting and its tradition of bringing your own food, enjoying only local wines.
Botlé, modern meets traditional
Even in an itinerary dedicated to historic taverns, a visit to Botlé fits perfectly. Here, the concept of the tavern is reinterpreted in a modern key. Botlé offers a food and wine experience that connects the past to the present, with a selection of wines and dishes that pay homage to Bolognese tradition in a contemporary setting.
The taverns hidden in the alleys of Bologna
Exploring the alleys of Bologna, you discover lesser-known but equally fascinating taverns. “Osteria Santa Caterina”, hidden in a quiet street, offers an authentic experience with home-made dishes and a family atmosphere, far from the tourist bustle.
Where else to eat
For a different experience but always in line with the Bolognese tradition, “Trattoria Anna Maria” is an excellent choice. Known for its tagliatelle with meat sauce, this trattoria offers a dive into the authentic flavors of the city.
A journey through the flavors of Bologna
In conclusion, a tour of Bologna's historic taverns is a journey through centuries of culinary history. Each tavern tells a different part of the city, combining the taste of tradition with warm Bolognese hospitality.
