  1. A

    Trattoria Fantoni

    To the west of the centre of Bologna, Via del Pratello is a long-standing bohemian hang-out packed with pubs, trattorias and bars. One of the best, Fantoni is a much-loved eatery dishing up classic Italian food at welcome prices. The atmosphere’s jovial and the decor is an agreeable clash of clutter and modern art.

    Osteria de’ Poeti

    In the wine cellar of a 14th-century palazzo, this historic eatery is an atmospheric place to enjoy hearty local fare. Take a table by the impressive stone fireplace and order from a selection of staples such as taglioline con fiori di zucca, zucchini e prosciutto di Parma (pasta with pumpkin flowers, courgettes and Parma ham). Evenings feature frequent live music.

    Trattoria da Gianni

    Down a side alley in the Quadrilatero, Gianni's is well known and well loved. Italian speakers can read the testimonials and press-cuttings on the walls as they wait for such crowd-pleasers as gnocchi di zucca, burro e menta (pumpkin gnocchi with butter and mint) and bollito misto (mixed boiled meat).
