Bologna - Capital of Emilia-Romagna

by sue_stone - last update: Nov 15, 2006

Bologna is underrated. The capital of Emilia-Romagna is a wonderful city. It is not filled with big tourist groups like nearby Florence, making it a joy to wander the streets. It has a stunning big piazza to people watch in, and not one, but two leaning towers!

Most importantly of all is that Bologna is the gastronomic capital of Italy. The food really is excellent, and you can't leave without at least once ordering some Tagliatelle alla bolognese.

I have now visited Bologna three times and would happily return.

 Restorante da Carla has a second location at Santo Domingo 673 THat is smaller and I believe the original of the two. The food is always excellent and the prices very reasonable.

 I have just returned from Bologna & can confirm that the Da Nello al Montegrappa is a dining experience not to miss. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the centre of town & hungry.
