24H of ITALIAN FOOD in Bologna – From Pasta to Meatballs

*Join us as we spend 24 unforgettable hours in Bologna* discovering the city’s most iconic food spots—from legendary street food to traditional pasta and hidden local gems.

*MÒ! MORTADELLA LAB*
We kick off our 24 hours in Bologna at MÒ! Mortadella Lab, the perfect place to dive straight into the city’s most iconic street food. Freshly baked bread filled generously with thinly sliced mortadella creates a simple yet unforgettable panino, delicious and generous bite on the go.
*TRATTORIA DALL’OLIO*
Next, we head to Trattoria Dall’Olio for a true Bolognese classic. Here we enjoy Tagliatelle al Ragù—known worldwide as Pasta alla Bolognese—made the traditional way, rich and deeply flavorful. Alongside it, we try incredibly delicious, tender meatballs that perfectly showcase the heart of local home-style cooking.
*LE SFOGLINE*
The next day begins with a quick but essential stop at Le Sfogline. In just several minutes, you can witness the famous pasta ladies skillfully crafting handmade tortellini. This small spot is legendary for its daily fresh pasta, which locals proudly take home to cook themselves.
*TIGELLINO*
Breakfast takes us to Tigellino, a charming little shop specializing in tigelle—small, round sandwiches filled with a variety of tasty ingredients. It’s a light but flavorful way to start the day, and a must-try traditional snack in Bologna.
*SALUMERIA SIMONI*
We then stop by Salumeria Simoni, a paradise for food lovers. Surrounded by hanging Italian hams and massive wheels of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, this place is a feast for the eyes as much as for the taste buds, showcasing the incredible richness of Italian deli culture.
*RAMACIOTTO*
For lunch, we visit Ramaciotto, where everything revolves around fresh, handmade pasta. The chef prepares it right in front of you, cooks it on the spot, and serves it simply on a paper plate. Despite its humble presentation, this is some of the best pasta you’ll ever eat, in a lively atmosphere full of locals and energy.
*OSTERIA DEL SOLE*
Next is Osteria del Sole, founded in 1465 and the oldest still-standing establishment in Bologna. They don’t serve food, but they do serve plenty of wine. With its relaxed, authentic vibe, it’s a favorite among locals—and visitors too. You can even bring your own food, which makes the experience even more unique.
*M LA GELATERIA ARTIGIANALE*
Dessert time brings us to M La Gelateria Artigianale, where we cool down with some delicious gelato. With a wide variety of flavors and creative options, it’s a refreshing stop and a chance to try something new.
*HOSTARIA SAN CARLINO*
Hidden in a quiet side street, Hostaria San Carlino is the perfect place to end the day. For dinner, we go all in with Tortellini in Brodo and an outstanding Cotoletta alla Bolognese, paired with local wine. It’s the perfect finale to an unforgettable food journey through Bologna.
