Food is a major aspect of Italian life and eating out is a cultural expression of that lifestyle. This is an experience not to be taken lightly. Italians are proud of their cuisine, and it’s important to understand the dining culture when eating al ristorante in order to make the best of the experience.
Bologna is the capital and largest city in the Emilia-Romagna region and truly one of Italy’s most exquisite and diverse destinations. Home to the oldest and continually operating university in the western world, Bologna possess the charm of a university town with deep historical significance.
The cuisine of Bologna is deeply rooted in tradition and authenticity; bolognese, tortellini, lasagna, mortadella to name a few.
Due to its educational prowess, gastronomic delights, and political history, Bologna has received the nicknames La Dotta, (the learned), La Grassa, (the fat), and La Rossa (the red, for its socialist inclination).
Learning about the local culinary tradition and eating out in Italy is essential to make the most out of your travels. There’s no better way to do it than sitting at the table with a local.
