POSSIBLE TASTINGS:

  • Tigelle filled with local cured meats and cheeses - the most typical of Bolognese street foods topped with the best Bologna has got to offer.
  • Bolognese tortellini - tortellini is a fresh pasta, stuffed with different types of meat and parmesan cheese. Usually they are served in meat broth, but our guests will have the opportunity to choose among different options for garnishing their tortellini!
  • Bolognese cotoletta - veal meat served with a rich sauce made with cream and parmesan cheese, and topped with smoked ham. The traditional recipe requires that the meat is fried, then sunk in meat broth. This is the trick which makes it so incredibly soft. Finally, it is briefly baked in the oven and served covered in melted cheese and ham.
  • Espresso coffee - it is the inevitable conclusion of every Italian proper meal. We offer it in a historical coffee shop, accompanied with artisanal whipped cream.
  • Ice cream (“Gelato”): it is served with flavours created with local and excellent ingredients, to finish the tour in the finest way.


**Vegetarian option** - Our partner restaurants will offer you tasty alternatives, in the respect of the local food tradition.
