€€€€

Occupying the atmospheric setting of the Eden theatre, a former late-19C musical café, this restaurant adorned with beautiful Liberty-style frescoes is the perfect backdrop for elegant, well-balanced Mediterranean-inspired dishes. Young, talented chef Nicola Annunziata offers three tasting menus of five (L’Ora Precisa), seven (La Spudorata) and nine (La Luce) courses with wine pairings recommended by the knowledgeable sommelier. If you’re looking for a quieter and more romantic ambience, book a table in the 14C icehouse, with its glass floor providing glimpses of the well-stocked wine cellar b

Situated near the Mercato delle Erbe (well worth a visit either before or after your meal), this restaurant changes its menu regularly, sometimes even daily, in order to guarantee the freshness of its farm-to-table ingredients. The simple cuisine features some delicious vegetarian dishes, including stand-out recipes such as fennel with coconut and green pepper sauce. Don’t miss the home-made bread, which is baked daily with great technical skill.

Under the majestic vaulted ceiling of Palazzo Dondini Ghiselli and in the shade of an old plane tree, this restaurant combines a simple ambience with an innovative concept. Here, guests can enjoy typical seafood dishes from Romagna – don’t miss the delicious sardines sautéed in oil and lemon, which are a real treat!

Trattoria di Via Serra

It’s well worth heading off the traditional tourist trail to experience this simple and informal trattoria in Bolognina, the city’s historic working-class district which now has a very multicultural feel. Run by a friendly owner, with his talented business partner at the helm in the kitchen, the restaurant boasts a welcoming and friendly ambience that has made it popular, so booking ahead is recommended, even at lunchtime. Top-quality regional cuisine is celebrated here, from fresh pasta (excellent tortellini in broth) to zuppa inglese (a type of trifle).

Seta Sushi Restaurant

It was friendship and passion for Japanese cuisine that prompted two young business partners to open this quiet, welcoming restaurant in the heart of Bologna. Situated in a courtyard with medieval origins, Seta Sushi Restaurant has a modern bistro-style dining room, as well as plenty of outdoor space for summer dining. The menu features an impressive selection of traditional Japanese dishes with the occasional personalised touch, all made from top-quality ingredients. Don’t worry if you’re new to Japanese cuisine – Maurilio is front of house to offer guests friendly, expert advice on both food

Zivieri

€€

The produce of the hills come down into the city: this, in essence, is the restaurant. Within the mediaeval Torre Alberici, in the heart of the historic centre, the simple dining room furnished in a contemporary style showcases the produce that the Zivieri farm itself rears and cultivates in the Apennines. Regional cookery, therefore, of an excellent standard, with charcuterie and meats as the jewel in the crown, which moreover can also be purchased, along with cheeses and other foods, from their adjacent butcher’s shop.

Trattoria Battibecco

Classic Cuisine, Seafood

€€

Although it calls itself a trattoria, this restaurant situated in a narrow street in the city centre has an elegant ambience, welcoming guests with friendly service and serving an equal balance of meat and fish dishes. Our inspector particularly enjoyed the foie gras sautéed with Lambrusco blueberries and pan brioche, and the “finché c’è bottarga c’è speranza” (“while there’s bottarga, there’s hope”) spaghetti served with tuna tartare, mullet roe, lime and pistachios.

Sale Grosso

Mediterranean Cuisine

€€

This restaurant describes its cuisine as Mediterranean and it’s true that fish and seafood dominate the menu. However, other dishes also feature and during our visit we particularly enjoyed the carefully prepared fried artichoke heart accompanied by a fresh white Tuscan Montecarlo wine. Friendly, informal service in a simple dining room with a distinctive bistro feel.
