- Via Ugo Bassi - The finest dishes are always selected to introduce guests to local traditions, recommend the best dining spots, and ensure an exceptional culinary journey. With Do Eat Better, a visit to Bologna becomes an unforgettable exploration of Italy’s finest cuisine. Here, a local expert will accompany guests through this delightful experience.
- Fontana del Nettuno - The tour kicks off with a tasting of freshly made pasta, such as tagliatelle al ragù alla Bolognese, topped with locally sourced Parmesan cheese. This iconic dish is a cherished symbol of Bologna’s culinary heritage. Lighter and more adaptable than lasagna, it provides an ideal introduction to the city’s cuisine while leaving room for further tastings. Alternatively, traditional tortellini in broth, crafted according to age-old local methods, may be served, equally emblematic of Bologna’s gastronomic legacy.
- Via dell’Indipendenza - Guests can then sample either locally crafted and fresh tigelle, a highly favored dish in the Emilia-Romagna region, topped with delectable local ingredients, or savor authentic Bolognese Mortadella, served in a cone or on a platter, the quintessential Bologna salami.
- Palazzo Sanuti - Bevilacqua degli Ariosti - For the second course, guests will enjoy Cotoletta alla Bolognese. This veal dish is served with a rich sauce made from cream and Parmesan cheese, topped with smoked ham. The traditional recipe involves frying the meat, serving it in meat broth, and then briefly baking it in the oven, covered with melted cheese and ham.
- Palazzo Ruini - For dessert, guests will indulge in the finest artisanal Italian ice cream in Bologna, featuring delightful flavors, or alternatively, Torta degli Addobbi: a rice cake with ancient origins, traditionally prepared in Bologna around 1400 for the Corpus Domini celebration at the end of May, when balconies and windows were adorned with colorful drapes, and this diamond-shaped cake was shared with family and friends.
- Piazza Cavour - No Italian meal is complete without a proper conclusion. To end the tour on a high note, guests will enjoy a perfectly brewed espresso in a local coffee shop, savoring its rich aroma and robust flavor, the quintessential way to conclude any Italian culinary experience.
