Bologna Traditional Food Tour

SHORT DESCRIPTION

Our Bologna food and wine tour will escort you in the discovery of Bologna and its history through the classical dishes of Emilia-Romagna regional tradition. We will begin with a rich appetizer composed by local cured meats and warm, hand-baked bread. Then we will have classic tortellini or tagliatelle, impossible to miss when in Bologna. A typical fried meat with cream, parmesan cheese and smoked ham.

The meal and the tour end with a slice of cake (or an artisanal gelato) and an espresso.

This is a walking food and wine tour, ideal for exploring Bologna with eyes and palate. For our most exigent guests, we also offer the Drink Card, a pass for tasting one or more glasses of wine and/or ale at each of the 5 food stops.

POSSIBLE TASTINGS

Board with local cured meats and cheeses with hand-baked bread - the meal opens with a wide variety of local cured meats and cheeses. They are served along with warm bread, hand-baked by the wise hands of professional bakers.
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.
Brazadela - a traditional cake prepared in a doughnut-shape. A very old preparation coming from peasants’ cuisine. Since its origins, the recipe has been passed from mothers to their kinds, in order to preserve its simplicity and tastiness, for a delicate and unique taste.
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.
**Vegetarian option** - Our partner restaurants will offer you tasty alternatives, in the respect of the local food tradition.
