€€€€

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

Trattoria di Via Serra

italian · Bib

€

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).

Ahimè

italian · Bib

€€

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.

Osteria Bartolini

fish · Bib

€

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!

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.

I Carracci

Contemporary, Modern Cuisine

€€€

"After leaving the lobby of the luxurious Grand Hotel Majestic, you come to the restaurant, adorned by a 17th century fresco from the Carracci school. This is the restaurant for grand occasions and, under the guidance of chef Agostino Schettino, also for outstanding cuisine. From Castellammare di Stabia in Campania, the chef presents a menu featuring a succession of references to the cuisines of Emilia and Naples: two of Italy's most renowned culinary traditions sit at the same table to create a truly extraordinary result.

Emilian

€€

This restaurant in the lively Mercato delle Erbe district has an entrance adorned with hundreds of stickers, giving it the appearance of a record shop rather than a contemporary-style eatery with a bar counter and a highly original surfboard table near the entrance. The modern cuisine has its roots in the region yet also includes skilfully prepared dishes from around the world (we highly recommend the Bolognese ramen, which includes tagliolino in a mushroom broth, with parmesan, quail eggs marinated in balsamic vinegar, and spinach). There’s also a choice of cocktails to start or round off you

Al Cambio

Emilian, Traditional Cuisine · Bib

€€

Situated off the usual tourist trail, Al Cambio serves authentic Bolognese cuisine (as well as other dishes) with a focus on traditional, seasonal meat and fish dishes. So if you’re looking for a genuinely local culinary experience, leave the city centre and allow chef Matteo Poggi to delight you with his cuisine. Don’t miss the guinea fowl breast with truffle-flavoured potatoes. The restaurant is often full, even at lunchtime, so booking ahead is highly recommended.
