Bologna High-End Restaurants

      • Frommer's Exceptional Rating: " 'The Parrot'... is on the ground floor of a Gothic mansion across from the 14th-century Merchants' Loggia (a short walk from the leaning towers). Start off with lasagne verde al forno (baked lasagna that gets its green color from minced spinach)."
      • Concierge.com Recommendation WARNING: Pop-ups: "This Michelin-starred restaurant specializes in seafood but also turns out a delicious tagliolini with eggplant and scampi or goose breast with honey and walnut salad."
      • Frommer's Very Highly Recommended: "The elegant dining room dates from the 16th century, with ceiling frescoes of the seasons painted in the 1700s by the Carracci brothers. The seasonal menu features the freshest produce and highest-quality meat, poultry, and fish."
      • Frommer's Highly Recommended: "This restaurant, within walking distance of the city center... has an Art Deco style and a real Bolognese atmosphere...To begin your gargantuan repast, request the tortellini in rich cream sauce."
      • Frommer's Highly Recommended: "Since 1956, the De Cesari family has been on hand to welcome you and feed you well, luring you with their classic Bolognese cuisine. The dishes overflow with fresh ingredients deftly handled by the kitchen staff."

Bologna Moderate Restaurants

      • Frommer's Highly Recommended: "Occupying a late medieval building in the heart of town, the Diana has been popular since 1920. This restaurant offers three gracefully decorated dining rooms and a verdant terrace."
      • Concierge.com Recommendation  WARNING: Pop-ups: "Favorites include meatballs in tomato sauce (considered the city's best), stuffed rabbit, ossobuco, handmade pastas, a homemade semifreddo, and any of the excellent wines."
      • Frommer's Recommended: "In a building dating from 1600, the Romagnola offers cuisines from throughout Italy. You might begin with one of the well-flavored risottos or choose from a savory selection of antipasti. The variety of pastas is impressive..."
      • Frommer's Recommended: "This wonderful trattoria is one of the few restaurants still doing classic Bolognese cuisine. Hosts Franco and Ezio Bolini insist that all the produce be fresh. The menu's signature dish is tortellina Montegrappa, a pasta favorite served in cream-and-meat sauce. "

Bologna Affordable Restaurants

      • Concierge.com Recommendation  WARNING: Pop-ups: "Bologna's best pizzeria serves up crispy pies with scrumptious toppings in a quiet square near Montagnola and the Ghetto."
      • Frommer's Recommended: "Unique in Bologna, this bar and restaurant have been installed in the private chapel of the 1576 Palazzo Bentivoglio. In the university area, it is one of the most evocative venues in the city. As you enjoy your drink, you can admire the 16th-century frescoes."
      • Frommer's Recommended: "The restaurant, which offers some of the best ragú alla bolognese in town, occupies a 15th-century building near the university. Most diners opt for the high-ceilinged, medieval-looking main floor, though an informal cantina-like cellar room is open for additional seating."
      • Frommer's Recommended: "This is a simple trattoria and bar, operating since 1900 with few changes. Built as a convent in the 13th century, it lies near the Porto San Mamolo, in the historic core. "
