Trattorium restaurants in Bologna

  1. A

    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, high-end trattoria, run by an affable English-speaking owner who will happily go through the day’s short, sweet menu of ultrafresh choices with you. Expect superbly prepared versions of Bolognese classics such as tortellini or steak with balsamic vinegar.

  2. 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).

  3. B

    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.

  4. C

    Trattoria del Rosso

    This perennially popular trattoria is said to be the oldest in Bologna. The daily fixed-price lunch and dinner menus (€10) are exceptional value and the vegetarian options are a welcome sight in such a meat-obsessed city.
