If you find yourself around these parts do not miss out on the occasion of making a culinary tour: there is countless options, both by itinerary and by themes, but you can find the most classical version in the city center, more precisely in the Quadrilatero, which has always been the town’s central marketplace, as proven by the street which carry the names of the most common crafts as: Pescherie (the fishermen), Calzolerie (the shoe makers) Caprarie (the butchers), Drapperie (the tailors). It’s an area full of long-standing shops in which families passed down their craft through the generations: the market is a wonderful mix of flavors and aromas which will make food aficionados lose their mind.
We recommend reaching the cool shade of the Two Towers and let your tastebuds guide you through narrow streets and centuries old osterias to discover Bologna’s traditional flavors.
