Bologna is a city of gastronomic excellence, the queen of cuisine and home of hand-rolled pasta made with eggs, the famous tortellini, tortelloni, lasagne and tagliatelle (these latter invented in 1487 for the wedding feast of Lucrezia Borgia and the Duke of Ferrara). Equally famous are the Bolognese meat sauce, or ragł , mortadella and the typical Bolognese cutlet. But also balsamic vinegar and parmigiano-reggiano. The historic city centre is full of osterie (wine bars), like the famous Cantina Bentivoglio, home to live jazz, pastry shops, ice cream parlours and small restaurants which serve up traditional dishes in a friendly, rustic environment. |
