welcome to Bologna Italy foodie Heaven I promiseย  you and in this video we’re going to show you whatย ย  to eat and where to eat in this amazing smallย  intimate beautiful Food City let’s go 5 minutes into arriving we already saw thatย  this city is so much about food all theseย ย 

Narrow streets like this one behind me with foodย  shops with restaurants so many restaurants soย ย  much good food and we already tasted someย  today we’re going to show you all in thisย ย  video so subscribe right now because we stuff ourย  faces all around the world that’s where the nameย ย 

STUFR comes from and right now it’s Bolognaย  Italy so let’s just eat. so bologna isย ย  famous for a few things that originate fromย  this city and Mortadella is one of them weย ย  are having lunch at cili a really nice littleย  restaurant and I’m having mortadella as a starterย ย 

A little bit sad just a little bunch of sausageย  on a plate but we separated the cheese from theย ย  sausage because I don’t like cheese or Timย  is having the cheese that comes with it thisย ย  is the sausage mortadella and Nala smells theย  sausage as well so this is the mortadella thatย ย 

Comes from bologna and normally you could get itย  on a sandwich and you’llย ย  have it thinly sliced but this is cubed for aย  little starter just to get a little bologna flavor o oh this is really nice I like it theyย  call it the salami of Bologna it’s more like aย ย 

Boiled sausage it’s not grilled it’s not notย  smoked it’s not but it’s more like a boiledย ย  thing I really like this type of sausagesย  it’s totally different from salami or anyย ย  other sausage that you’ll eat those someย  more thick and cured and and chewy butย ย 

This is really smooth and I like it very muchย  so I’m having my very first risotto in Italy inย ย  bologna and this is a really special one it’sย  not on the regular menu it’s only a menu ofย ย 

The day and it’s a risotto with melon never hadย  that before looks awesome oh really big chunksย ย  of melon in there m oh my gosh okay I’ve neverย  had risotto like this is really sweet because ofย ย  the melon and it can still really taste theย  cheese that’s a really awesome combinationย ย 

Of savory and sweets wow absolutely stunningย  if they have it on the menu when you are hereย ย  you have to order this definitely so anotherย  specialty from bologna is tortellini and youย ย  know them those are those little rolled up doughย  balls of pasta balls filled with anything in myย ย 

Case there’s meat inside but this is tortelini imย  brodo which is in broth in a soup form so superย ย  local super traditional and it’s my first timeย  ever having tortelini in a soup so I’m actually very

Excited oh that’s really nice the broth alone isย  really nice and and flavorful it is just like aย ย  really nice layer dish or something when it comesย  into your mouth you first have that salty brothย ย 

That comes in then the pasta because there’s not aย  lot of other things in it it’s just the broth andย ย  the pasta and then the meat comes through when youย  bite open the tortellini but of course you can alsoย ย 

Get a regular tortellini with a Ragu or a bolognese sauce because of course bologa in Bologna checkย ย  that out as well but this is actually really niceย  and I think it’s a really nice lunch dish actually coffee lovers pay attention because inย  Bologna they have a shop called Aroma specialtyย ย 

Coffees I’m not a coffee drinker but this soundedย  so amazing that I wanted to try it because it’sย ย  zabaione the the white wine Whipped Cream Egg nuttyย  kind of dessert that they mix in with an espressoย ย 

Look at this beautiful fancy coffee and there’s aย  lot of cream and only a little bit of coffee so Iย ย  think I’ll be fine I’m just going to try ooh it’sย  really thick cream I love that M oh my God oh myย ย 

God I love coffee flavor in ice cream or in coffeeย  beans such chocolate beans and this is just thatย ย  there’s not too much coffee in it and it hasย  that white wine Cream custardy Egg noggy kindย ย 

Of vibe I’m Blown Away honestly I hope you canย  tell by my reaction but do I have it on my chin yeah my God had so many different flavors itย  really took me a long time to make a choice andย ย 

I still don’t know if I made the right choiceย  but I got three flavors I got biscoto de nonnaย  which sounds amazing because we love torta della nonna butย  this time it’s with cookies and chocolate andย ย 

I got salted pistachio pesto as ice cream soย  we at Cremeria La Vecchia Strala in bologna and havingย ย  my first gelato and it looks amazing let meย  see I think this is the biscota really niceย ย 

And creamy crunchy cookies in size which I alsoย  like sometimes M very nice and now maybe the mostย ย  special one the pistachio pesto ice creamย  oh this is crazy you’re having gelato butย ย  there’s no nothing nothing sweet about it it’sย  really completely salty but it’s really it’sย ย 

Still quite nice actually wow I’ve never hadย  such salty ice cream before it’s really like aย ย  almost like a mind [ย __ย ] or something but it’sย  really very nice I can definitely recommend toย ย  try the salty pistachio because pistachio isย  one of the most classic flavors and everybodyย ย 

Gets it but this time it’s only salty notย  sweet so it’s really something differentย ย  and if you like pistacho in real life then whyย  not go for this I would I would eat it again

So bologna has two Food Markets Mercato di Mezzoย  Mercato delle Erbe, we are at Mercato delle Erbe actually thisย ย  is the one that we prefer it has a nicer Vibe andย  it’s larger and it has more food stalls to chooseย ย 

From but the other one Mercato di Mezzo also looked reallyย  good and had some really good food there so youย ย  can go to either one for a nice lunch and pickย  your favorite and have some amazing food thereย ย 

Are so many little restaurants and little shops inย  this Mercato delle Erba and we found Sfarina which is a piadinaย ย  which is those really flat bread almost like aย  pita bread or even flatter I think they go throughย ย 

Like one of those Wranglers and they stretchย  it out the dough to make it really flat thenย ย  they bake the bread really short on a grillย  and then they add the filling you can have itย ย  with all the fillings the classical fillingsย  and stuff but we’ve went for a uh vegetarianย ย 

Option and this is a eggplant parmesan nowย  so I’m really curious the red looks really fresh this is such a nice lunch I think theseย  Food Markets are a perfect place to get someย ย  lunch you can get like different little snacksย  everywhere I love this flavor really good Iย ย 

Would definitely try one of the other flavorsย  here as well but I bet Tim all of this becauseย ย  he’s vegetarian so second stop at Mercato delle Erbaย  we at Super Forna Pizza now so we’re having some amazingย ย  Pizza they have a lot of different optionsย  they even have ones with potatoes and theyย ย 

Also have classic ones like Margarita and theyย  also have those like Gourmet ones and this isย ย  of course vegetarian and this with uh ricottaย  and mozzarella and zucchini and eggplants soย ย  um yeah let’s go nice and crunchy bottom layerย  but the rest is really nice and fluffy taste isย ย 

Also really good M really nice with the ricottaย  really creamy I think I’ve never had ricottaย ย  on a pizza before works works quite well andย  the good thing is you can shoot as much as youย ย 

Want so this is only like a few bites becauseย  we want to try different things and this isย ย  only like โ‚ฌ3 so you can just choose how muchย  you want and it’s not that expensive perfect

So next stop in Bologna we are at Simoni whichย  is a restaurant where they sell a lot of ham andย ย  cheese and something really special I’m openingย  it up now which is a Tigilini and a Tigilini areย ย 

Little sandwiches they are served warm you canย  get them anywhere here in Bologna but they haveย ย  these little marks on it stamps and that’s theย  stamp of the shop that sells it and we orderedย ย 

A tagliere which is a plate filled with ham and cheeseย  I have to admit it looks like there’s a littleย ย  bit more ham on it than cheese poor Tim butย  he will get more bread and at least there’sย ย 

Quite some uh cheese on it I’m going to stuff myย  first tigilini with some Mortadella like I saidย ย  earlier in the video Mortadella is the ham fromย  bologna so and this one is not cubed it’s slicedย ย 

So that’s also nice to try and I’m going to tryย  it in one of those little breads that are veryย ย  very local so you’d have to get these breadย  with the stems it looks really cute as well

Right m I like the bread because the stamp itย  gives it a bit of a crunch on the outside itย ย  reminds me a little bit of like um like aย  grilled cheese kind of texture it’s reallyย ย  nice the texture outside gives it a realย  distinct eating experience the flavor isย ย 

Bread but it the it’s the experience of theย  Crunch and the Mortadella inside is amazingย ย  I just love Mortadella but I also have someย  cured hem some raw hem here which would beย ย  amazing in one of these little breads so Iย  can’t wait to be trying all of this but Iย ย 

Won’t film it for you because that’s boringย  you just have to come here and taste it for yourself we love having breakfast from a localย  bakery when we are traveling and so of courseย ย 

The same in Italy first we are starting off withย  a very typical dish it’s a torta de Riso so riceย ย  cake it’s quite big and you get a spoon withย  it it’s quite thick the texture is also really

Dense there’s a lot lot of texture going onย  it’s like super you can really taste the riceย ย  there’s really a lot in there it’s it’s veryย  super dense like the whole texture it’s quiteย ย  nice it’s nice and sweet but not too sweet I likeย  it I have another Regional biged good it’s calledย ย 

An Ofella and this one is with apple and creamย  I think the form looks really interesting itย ย  almost looks like a hat or something a top hat Iย  will bite on this side because then have all theย ย 

Layers M it’s a gooier than I thought like theย  top the bottom layer is really gooey and this isย ย  more like puff pastry almost but the filling withย  the apple is really really nice all right I couldย ย 

Eat this more often it’s really nice I finallyย  found licorice ice cream we had that once inย ย  Rome and it was so good and I’ve been lookingย  forward to tasting it but this the first Shopย ย 

I actually see it gelateria Oggi in Bologna I’mย  so happy this is so perfect I took two scoopsย ย  of the same flavor because I was dying to tryย  this oh if you ever get your hands on licoriceย ย 

Ice cream please try it it is so good it is soย  special so intense this is so good so closingย ย  off our food tour in Bologna of course I hadย  to try the bolognese sauce because that’s whatย ย 

This place is famous for Bolognese sauce it’s actuallyย  called Ragu so if you are in Italy it’s calledย ย  Ragu but for tourists they put bolognese sauceย  here on the menu I’m having a lasagna a lasagnaย ย  alab bologa so with the bolog Ragu Sauce Sim isย  actually having tortelini which is also Regionalย ย 

Local with sage and butter it looks reallyย  nice as well and we at a restaurant calledย ย  Sfoglia Rina which is a really nice local andย  also quite trendy restaurant it looks reallyย ย  nice from the interior I’m going to enjoyย  my first lasagna actually on this

Trip oh wow really nice they used green uh pastaย  sheets which gives it a really nice look actuallyย ย  I’m really happy with my choice and and I’mย  happy that I’m closing off this bologna foodย ย  tour with this amazing lasagna or is there moreย  you never know if I’m going to order with soreย ย 

So stay tuned for that but I’m going to enjoyย  this this is really nice the ragua sauce withย ย  the minced meat the tomato sauce this is whatย  you you know right it’s not something that Iย ย  can say like it’s mind-blowingly new but theย  flavors are really nice yes this is a properย ย 

Way to close off a food tour video because weย  went back to Mercato di Mezzo which is the otherย ย  food market here in bologna and we saw thisย  earlier that they have a really spectacularย ย 

Looking tiramisu with a lot of cream on topย  and this is at the restaurant or at one of theย ย  restaurants called s relli and I’m just goingย  to enjoy a final terisu of our road trip in

Italy oh the cream on top is really nice andย  dense gream the coffee flavor is there theย ย  alcohol is there it’s really nicely balancedย  I have to say this is one of the better chamusย ย 

I’ve had on this trip I’ve had around four orย  five chamus what I love is that the cookie isย ย  there as well it’s not too moist I’ve had tusย  before where the cookie is so moist that youย ย 

Don’t even taste the texture anymore but here youย  can still taste the texture even though it’s veryย ย  moist oh this is definitely a good one so ifย  you’re craving a terisu go to Mercato di Mezzo thankย ย 

You so much for watching our bologna food tourย  I hope you enjoyed this video and that we gaveย ย  you some nice inspiration for when you visitย  but this city is so amazing there is so muchย ย 

Food we already discussed it we might go backย  here just for the food if you want to chooseย ย  between going to Florence OR bologna then forย  us bologna is definitely the pick it feels soย ย  much more local it has beautiful historicalย  buildings but it has amazing restaurantsย ย 

And they’re so much more to discover thanย  we did in this video but at least we gaveย ย  you some highlights and some inspiration soย  subscribe if you haven’t already because weย ย  stuff our faces all around the world that’sย  what the name stufr comes from we had theย ย 

Best time here only two days in Bologna butย  our stomachs are full thanks for watching bye everybody wow really good turn with this one

  1. Hello Tim, Dennis, and Nala! It's wonderful to see your visit to Bologna, and all the great food! Tim's melon ricotta looks so interesting, and delicious! I'm also so happy that Dennis found licorice gelato. How wonderful! We had a small ice cream shop near us when I was a child. It had licorice ice cream. It was fantastic! I got it all the time. I miss it. It also makes me happy to see Nala with you, even at the restaurants. Have a great weekend! Thanks for your video.
