Drogheria della Rosa
With its wooden shelves, apothecaries' jars and bottles, it's not difficult to picture this place as the pharmacy that it once was. Nowadays it's a charming trattoria run by an affable English-speaking owner who will happily go through the day's choices with you (there's no printed menu). Expect the tried and tested such as steak with balsamic vinegar and tortellini.

La Sorbetteria Castiglione

Pizzeria La Brace
Neither pizza nor fish are considered Bolognese specialities but that's what they do here, and what they do well. If a pizza doesn't appeal, the carpaccio di pesce spada (thin slices of raw swordfish) followed by a fritto misto (mixed fish fry) is a fine alternative. Hanging football shirts and portraits of Hollywood icons provide an unusual décor.

Tamburini
Bologna's most-famous delicatessen also has a classy self-service lunch canteen. To grab a table get here early or be prepared to queue.

Trattoria del Rosso

Trattoria Mariposa
A genial, laid-back trattoria, the Mariposa serves simple, homemade food to a faithful crowd. The menu varies but you'll usually find tortellini, either with burro e salvia (butter and sage) or ragù , and polpetti (meatballs). Service is friendly and the prices are honest.

Trattoria Meloncello
Perfect for a pit stop on the way up to the Basilica Santuario della Madonna di San Luca, this unassuming trattoria is loved for its delicious Bolognese cooking. After a bowl of homemade pasta, try the stuffed rabbit, a house speciality, before rounding off with a homemade semifreddo (chilled dessert).
