Taste | Among Italian towns, Bologna is particularly famous for cooking. Da Gianni is one of the best restaurants where you can enjoy the authentic cuisine of Bologna. The restaurant is located at the end of the market and seems obscure apparently, but actually it's very famous and popular restaurant and everyone knows here. It's a little bit expensive, but it's sure that you can taste the authentic Bolognese Meat Sauce. The menu is full of traditional Bologna cooking, both of the pasta dishes and meat. You can enjoy also a quiet atmosphere, so I recommend this restaurant to everyone. | |

Emilia Romagna region where Bologna is situated has a rich culture of delicious food. Parmesan cheese, Parma ham, Mortadella ham, Lambrusco sparkling red wine and Sangiovese still red wine etc.. Especially, Bologna is the capital city of this region and it's actually a city of gourmet. Bologna is located inland, therefore please replete with their pork!! At the Da Gianni you can enjoy the typical traditional food of this area. It is 2 minutes walk from Piazza Maggiore, in the heart of the city.
A typical traditional dish is pasta of fresh egg with meat sauce, Tagliatelle con ragĂș bolognese. Another one is meat stuffed pasta in soup, Tortellini in brodo. It's an essential dish for Bologna families at the winter celebrations.
Don't give up only with the pasta. Please try meat dishes for main dish. Bollito is meat of boiled beef and light taste. If you prefer rich taste, there is a pork sausage called Cotechino. Roasted pork shank (Stinco di maiale) is also delicious.
The dessert (Dolce) counter at the entrance should attract women who love sweets!! I recommend you particularly two dishes of their plenty kinds of desserts: mascarpone and creme brulee. Many foreigners visit this restaurant and the owner Mrs. Barbara will explain you the menu in English so if you have a question, let's ask her.
