We had a free weekend and decided head to Bologna from Milan and as much as we love the history we really just came to eat and see if the food from the Emilia-Romagna Region lived up to its hype…. Watch to see if it delivered 👀
We stayed at a hotel just across from the train station called Mercure Bologna Centro. It was an easy walk to Piazza Maggiore and all of the main attractions.
The first night we did an evening walking tour with our guy addy who told us so much more than a normal tour would have provided.
Link to book him: https://air.tl/4mgp3Jgb
The sandwiches are to die for and are from Mo Mortadella Lab. Would eat 30 of them. you can’t lose here.
The first restaurant we ate at was actually really great we just ordered wrong. It’s in an area all the locals hang out The place was called Polpette e Crescentine
Pay attention now because if you’re traveling to bologna this is the best tortellini on the planet. The spot is Sfoglia Rina. Easy to find as it’s one of the first to pop up when you search where to eat in Bologna, but we need to make sure you don’t skip it. The line will be long. Be prepared to wait. Beyond worth it though. We ate here twice instead of trying something new.
The last restaurant we went to was Le Moline which was delicious but the late night bar ragu we had the first night was better. Still incredible though.
Not recorded was a Lebanese sandwich joint we ate at that we don’t know the name of and some Indian spot where we got some fire samosas. We don’t know the name of that either but we just wanted you to know if you happen to come across a Lebanese spot. Drop everything and eat it.
Hit us with any questions and we’ll answer the best we can

see if I can pull this off it’s a surprise where we’re going I’m going to give him the illusion of choice because where he wanted to go we didn’t have enough time to go so I took matters into my own hands I’m going to give him two little notes but they both have the same place on it so we can think he chose this is how far I’ve gotten I found the hotel I think we’re going to stay in um and train getting there by the train is easy but I had one job so I have to fulfill it I will report back soon my Spidey senses just went off and I’m pretty sure he’s about to be here in like two minutes so just got home okay I just booked the hotel I’m about to book the train tickets he wasn’t in that good of a mood when he walked in so hopefully he’s not mad I can still on the hotel just not the oh my God okay well when you’re done come here ready for dinner yeah are you even hungry mhm all right okay I have a question for you what’s the question will you be mad if I didn’t book anything okay what

pack what should I pack I think we just need a pack close in that door and toothbrushes all right I don’t know what the leather’s going to be like you didn’t take the leather no maybe I should have done that before I maybe isn’t the weather just going to be the same everywhere very um well you know I was going to give you the illusion of choice are we taking the train yeah is that okay oh that’ be nice 66° you’re just going to bolog yeah just bolognia perfect you’re staying there the whole time yeah but we can maybe if we we’re not going to rent a car cuz you don’t want to drive but we can maybe go to I don’t know how to prounce to ailia and literally as I was telling Georgia why I didn’t want to run a car today we got pulled over why did you guys get pulled over cuz something about her sticker her registration yeah she didn’t have some Swiss sticker that’s supposed to be on there and her husband took it off cuz he didn’t like it what swis sticker yeah I think her car is registered and switch cuz it’s under Boutique oh it’s a company car [ __ ] that reminds me I need to do my registration so what happened I pulled over I was telling her was L telling her how we got pulled over last year uhhuh we got pulled over and yeah she got she had to pay $60 on the spot that’s how they do it here yeah she said they normally don’t pull you over I I do the US what did they do then usually just flag you down I guess I don’t even know it was literally as you were explaining to her yeah what did she say she said she miss the why you don’t want to drive in a different country did you explain to her like all the stuff mhm needed his help with train tickets anyway 10 we have to be at the train station about 1041 the verdict is in we have our hotel but we’re not going to leave he we didn’t buy tickets we’re just going to get them at the train station cuz we don’t know what time we want to wake up and get there luxury of a slow life you know you do all want because we can that’s right because I can now my packing doing okay tomorrow [Music] back leav hours okay mission number one accomplished I’m packed and ready to go let’s see if we can make it to our train on time now yeah yeah Party Time e just got up at it’s pretty much time to leave let’s see if we can make it oh no I just spit on the camera lens okay so we didn’t make the first train because we left our passports in fun fact for aspiring Travelers you have to have your passport as a foreigner to check into hotels pretty much anywhere overseas I think like any place in the world so we had to go back and get those but now we’re on our way to the train to the first train this is what we get for literally booking everything last night huh hey are you happy that we made it woo we haven’t made it yet okay but we finally made it to the train station at least yeah damn after missing every train you could possibly Miss we finally made it to a Dr and we’re eating pizza no spot excuse me it’s the Premier Place in Italy to get uh billions and billions of eyes I mean it was the quickest grown app all those eyes all that attention all that time spent on the app has to go somewhere where is it where does it go is the question doesn’t matter that’s the opportunity it’s going to go somewhere what I think is it will be really interesting to see what happens because something people aren’t talking about it’s not just the most used social media app it’s also the biggest search engine one of the biggest search engines in the world now so in 2022 there were more Tik Tok searches than Google searches if that tells you anything about how important that app is and has become to our society more Tik Tok searches than Google searches that’s crazy yeah they don’t even be on Tik Tok ever put that into perspective though about how many people are and people the reason is because they’re finding their answers there they’re not finding [ __ ] that’s cuz Google Google is filter that’s I’ve never met an Amer we made it finally we we’ve been in bolognia eastn oh my God we’ve been a balone for like 5 minutes probably 5 minutes tell everybody it’s dope it is so dope this is the view
