welcome to Bologna Italy foodie Heaven I promise  you and in this video we’re going to show you what   to eat and where to eat in this amazing small  intimate beautiful Food City let’s go 5 minutes into arriving we already saw that  this city is so much about food all these  

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

STUFR comes from and right now it’s Bologna  Italy so let’s just eat. so bologna is   famous for a few things that originate from  this city and Mortadella is one of them we   are having lunch at cili a really nice little  restaurant and I’m having mortadella as a starter  

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

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

Boiled sausage it’s not grilled it’s not not  smoked it’s not but it’s more like a boiled   thing I really like this type of sausages  it’s totally different from salami or any   other sausage that you’ll eat those some  more thick and cured and and chewy but  

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

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

Of savory and sweets wow absolutely stunning  if they have it on the menu when you are here   you have to order this definitely so another  specialty from bologna is tortellini and you   know them those are those little rolled up dough  balls of pasta balls filled with anything in my  

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

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

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

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

Coffees I’m not a coffee drinker but this sounded  so amazing that I wanted to try it because it’s   zabaione the the white wine Whipped Cream Egg nutty  kind of dessert that they mix in with an espresso  

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

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

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

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

I got salted pistachio pesto as ice cream so  we at Cremeria La Vecchia Strala in bologna and having   my first gelato and it looks amazing let me  see I think this is the biscota really nice  

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

Still quite nice actually wow I’ve never had  such salty ice cream before it’s really like a   almost like a mind [ __ ] or something but it’s  really very nice I can definitely recommend to   try the salty pistachio because pistachio is  one of the most classic flavors and everybody  

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

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

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

Are so many little restaurants and little shops in  this Mercato delle Erba and we found Sfarina which is a piadina   which is those really flat bread almost like a  pita bread or even flatter I think they go through  

Like one of those Wranglers and they stretch  it out the dough to make it really flat then   they bake the bread really short on a grill  and then they add the filling you can have it   with all the fillings the classical fillings  and stuff but we’ve went for a uh vegetarian  

Option and this is a eggplant parmesan now  so I’m really curious the red looks really fresh this is such a nice lunch I think these  Food Markets are a perfect place to get some   lunch you can get like different little snacks  everywhere I love this flavor really good I  

Would definitely try one of the other flavors  here as well but I bet Tim all of this because   he’s vegetarian so second stop at Mercato delle Erba  we at Super Forna Pizza now so we’re having some amazing   Pizza they have a lot of different options  they even have ones with potatoes and they  

Also have classic ones like Margarita and they  also have those like Gourmet ones and this is   of course vegetarian and this with uh ricotta  and mozzarella and zucchini and eggplants so   um yeah let’s go nice and crunchy bottom layer  but the rest is really nice and fluffy taste is  

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

Want so this is only like a few bites because  we want to try different things and this is   only like €3 so you can just choose how much  you want and it’s not that expensive perfect

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

Little sandwiches they are served warm you can  get them anywhere here in Bologna but they have   these little marks on it stamps and that’s the  stamp of the shop that sells it and we ordered  

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

Quite some uh cheese on it I’m going to stuff my  first tigilini with some Mortadella like I said   earlier in the video Mortadella is the ham from  bologna so and this one is not cubed it’s sliced  

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

Right m I like the bread because the stamp it  gives it a bit of a crunch on the outside it   reminds me a little bit of like um like a  grilled cheese kind of texture it’s really   nice the texture outside gives it a real  distinct eating experience the flavor is  

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

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

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

Dense there’s a lot lot of texture going on  it’s like super you can really taste the rice   there’s really a lot in there it’s it’s very  super dense like the whole texture it’s quite   nice it’s nice and sweet but not too sweet I like  it I have another Regional biged good it’s called  

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

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

Eat this more often it’s really nice I finally  found licorice ice cream we had that once in   Rome and it was so good and I’ve been looking  forward to tasting it but this the first Shop  

I actually see it gelateria Oggi in Bologna I’m  so happy this is so perfect I took two scoops   of the same flavor because I was dying to try  this oh if you ever get your hands on licorice  

Ice cream please try it it is so good it is so  special so intense this is so good so closing   off our food tour in Bologna of course I had  to try the bolognese sauce because that’s what  

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

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

Trip oh wow really nice they used green uh pasta  sheets which gives it a really nice look actually   I’m really happy with my choice and and I’m  happy that I’m closing off this bologna food   tour with this amazing lasagna or is there more  you never know if I’m going to order with sore  

So stay tuned for that but I’m going to enjoy  this this is really nice the ragua sauce with   the minced meat the tomato sauce this is what  you you know right it’s not something that I   can say like it’s mind-blowingly new but the  flavors are really nice yes this is a proper  

Way to close off a food tour video because we  went back to Mercato di Mezzo which is the other   food market here in bologna and we saw this  earlier that they have a really spectacular  

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

Italy oh the cream on top is really nice and  dense gream the coffee flavor is there the   alcohol is there it’s really nicely balanced  I have to say this is one of the better chamus  

I’ve had on this trip I’ve had around four or  five chamus what I love is that the cookie is   there as well it’s not too moist I’ve had tus  before where the cookie is so moist that you  

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

You so much for watching our bologna food tour  I hope you enjoyed this video and that we gave   you some nice inspiration for when you visit  but this city is so amazing there is so much  

Food we already discussed it we might go back  here just for the food if you want to choose   between going to Florence OR bologna then for  us bologna is definitely the pick it feels so   much more local it has beautiful historical  buildings but it has amazing restaurants  

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

Best time here only two days in Bologna but  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.
