​Here are my suggestions to park in Bologna and avoid tickets in the relentless ZTL (traffic limited zone).

​My suggestion is to never enter the walls of Bologna with your car: you will get crazy to find parking and you can easily go to a street that is forbidden.

Here are the different options:

The blue lines have different prices and time ranges according to the area where you are. Nothing cheaper than 1,5€/hour.
​Also you need coins to pay in the red machine, hopefully working.

- Garage Autostazione
Close to the train station, it’s easy to reach without risks of a ticket.

15 minutes walking to Piazza Maggiore.
Piazza XX Settembre, 6 – 40121 Bologna (BO)
Price: 18€/day (every day but Saturday), 2,2€/hour.

- Nuovo Parcheggio Stazione
Just next to the new train station, it’s a multilevel parking lot with 800 spots. Good if you need to get the train, but in an area with lots of cheaper blue lines.

25 minutes walking to Piazza Maggiore.
Via Fioravanti, 4 – 40129 Bologna (BO)
www.nuovoparcheggiostazione.it
Price: 13€/day, 2€/hour.

- Parcheggio VIII Agosto
It’s an underground multilevel parking lot in a very central location. Not cheap but worth it. Be careful to arrive at it only from Via Irnerio, otherwise you’re surely getting a ticket.

10 minutes walking to Piazza Maggiore.
Piazza VIII Agosto, 40126 Bologna BO
www.apcoa.it/parcheggi-in/bologna/piazza-viii-agosto/
Price: 20€/day, 2,6€/hour.

- Parcheggio Tanari
One of the best options. It’s huge and free if you leave the car there and get the bus to arrive in the center.

30 minutes with bus+walk to Piazza Maggiore.
Via Tanari, 17 – 40131 Bologna (BO)
Price: 5€/day, 0,6€/hour or free if you buy a 1,50€ bus ticket.

- Parcheggio Ex-Staveco
​In the southern part of Bologna, perfect to visit Giardini Margherita park.

15 min walking to Piazza Maggiore
Viale Panzacchi, 10 – 40136 Bologna (BO)
Price: 12€/day, 2€/hour.

​Emilia Romagna is full of beautiful and hidden libraries. Here’s a list of my favorite ones to put on your travel list.

Now it’s a library, probably the most important of Bologna. For its position sure, in Piazza Maggiore next to Neptune’s fountain.
​But also for the quantity and quality of books, magazines, music and more over 3 floors + a basement with the rest of a Roman street.

A step inside the gate and you’d be back in a time where students from all Europe came to Bologna to study.

The library is on the first floor, a few steps from the astonishing anatomical theatre.

But also everyday, if you have time to spend at Cineteca di Bologna and its library. A huge selection dedicated to cinema, photography and all their relatives.

​On the first floor you can find retrogames including my first console (Sega Master System II) behind a case.

Vintage movie posters on the walls may distract your study, but warm your soul.

It’s set inside Palazzo Poggi, in the heart of University, since the XVIII century.
You can walk under its portico without notice it, but you’d miss one of the most interesting museums Emilia Romagna, an astronomical observatory and this beautiful library.

​If you want to breathe the authentic academic atmosphere of Bologna, don’t make the mistake to forget it.

A XIV century Franciscan complex hosts this old library in Imola, a small city between Emilia and Romagna.

After this mystic jump, you deserve a pagan prize. Get a great gelato at Sesto Senso, just near the library.

A huge wooden theatre, a surprising typography museum and a sketch by Leonardo, THAT Leonardo, aren’t enough to convince you?
Ok, Biblioteca Palatina will do the rest.

Created in 1761 has 4 main halls:
- Sala di Maria Luigia, a reading room with 26.000 books
- Sala Dante, to look up at frescos inspired by the Divine Comedy
- Sala De Rossi, with sumptuous furnishings Impero style
- Petitot Gallery, covered of original walnut bookcases.

If you’re going to Ravenna only for its beach, you’ll get disappointed. But if you’re looking for art and culture, it’s one of the best day trips you can take from Bologna.

Monks spent about 300 years to built Biblioteca Classense.
Aula Magna, decorated with statues, frescoes and finely carved wooden shelves, is its jewel. Then visit the large refectory, the ancient sacristy (Sala Muratori) and the monumental cloisters.

The real gem?
​Raccolta Dantesca, the most complete collection of Dante’s works bought from the German bookshop Olschki.

It’s written above the wooden gate of Biblioteca Malatestiana.
I can’t speak for the big mammal with the trunk, but I’m sure that this incredible library isn’t afraid of time.

It’s the first Italian civil library and the building, the books and the furniture are in perfect shape.
Credits to the architect Matteo Nuti, able to create an environment with a natural air recycle to preserve the books.
For this reason only small groups with guided tours can enter and for a short time.

​If you have to choose only one library from this list, this is the one.

Humble origins, law degree, married to a noble lady.
He gave to Rimini his family palace with a collection of Latin and Greek classic books.
But his legacy to Rimini goes beyond that.

At his death in 1619, he donated the full library to the city and left money for the improvement, binding and restoring of books and for the librarian wage.

​After 400 years the library still stands there in the centre of Rimini with more than 300.000 books. Only waiting for curious readers to look for them.

El Anciano Rey de los Vinos is a 100 years old taverna just in front of Madrid’s Cathedral, a location where usually you could find a MacDonald’s or a 10€-for-a-coffee place.
But Madrid is different.
So you sit at the counter next to Spanish workers during lunch break. You order a vermuth. At least a couple.

​Then you read the tapas list amongst tortilla and spicy patatas bravas you choose the gift: regalitos de torito. Bull’s little gifts.

​It’s a small tapas made with soft bull’s tail meat filled inside brik dought with a red pepper as a topping. Served with a toothpick, regalitos is the typical dish to compartir.
​
I would pay $$$ to have them instead of fries for an aperitivo in Bologna.

Just next to Piazza della Borsa you find a small trattoria with a few tables outside. Opened in 1897 by Pepi S’Ciavo (Pepi the Slovenian) now is just called Buffet da Pepi.
Always attended by people from the neighborhood, downtown workers, locals and tourists, Pepi is a must visit but not only for the authentic vibe.

You go there to eat a mix of boiled meat: luganighe sausage , porzina and cotechino, served with sauerkraut, mustard and grated cren (horseradish used for the more famous wasabi). An dish that explain the roots and influences of Trieste more than a history book.

The more Michelin restaurant you visit, the less surprising is the formula. Ristorante Marconi, one of the few Michelin star restaurant near Bologna, makes no exception.

But actually there are some exceptions.

Even if the location is elegant, with open space and Nordic furniture, the atmosphere is different. Relaxed.
It’s a place to have dinner with friends and not to worry if you just have jeans in your trolley.

​Sure the concert is a list of classics: amuse bouche to open, complex dishes with rare ingredients (like percebes: I had to google them, honestly) and the glass always half full. 
​But their grilled squid to share from the hot barbeque on the table were just simple and delicious.
High cuisine has never been that close to welcoming and warm.

But when it comes to granita everything changes.

Etna volcano isn’t only a spectacular landscape to visit, but also the birthplace of the first Italian granita. The snow taken from Etna was mixed with the most delicious fruit grown on its land. And there you get a food without rivals, hard to replace elsewhere.

​Besides the most famous Catania and the luxury of Taormina, it was this small bar in the small village of Acitrezza who stole my heart.
It’s hard to describe their melon granita, served with the typical round brioche.
Just buy the first flight to Catania and let me know.

Atlantic Ocean. Sao Miguel Island, Azores.
Surrounded by deep blue sea I had the most delicious:

1. Fish
2. Lobster
3. Boiled meat

of my entire life.

Cozido is a unique dish prepared in Furnas, a small village in the volcanic island of Sao Miguel, dotted with boiling water and mud springs. In these steaming holes called caldeiras, locals come to lower underground their pots full of layers of pork, beef, cabbage, kale, potatoes, carrots, chorizo and blood sausage.
​Volcanic steam cooks the pot for about 8 hours, slowly squeezing out the juices and flavours from all the ingredients.

The result is an apparently simple dish, but with a wide and complex and mix of flavours impossible to forget.
You can get cozido at the old fashioned bar Tonys, just after a warm thermal bath at Poça da Dona Beija.

Cozido is so far the best dish I had this year. But for a full knowledge, you can compare it with our bollito misto bolognese during our Bologna Christmas Food Tour :)

Anthony Bourdain visited Bologna and Emilia Romagna in 2012 for his show No reservations.
He won’t come again but he left us a great document about the food of our land.

Let’s track down the places he visited.

The show begins inside the kitchen of this Michelin Starred restaurant, opened in 1970. Gianluigi Morini and Nino Bergese, known as “the king’s chef”, for his past work with royal Savoia family, were the founders. 

They got 2 Michelin stars in 1977 and never let them fade away. 
Michael began his career in San Domenico’s kitchen, before flying back to the USA.
He shows to Bourdain the preparation of one of their most popular dish: uovo in raviolo.

They come back at the end of the show for a full dinner.
Bourdain looks enthusiast about the duck press tool. And of the 1914 cognac they share with Mr Morini.

A 700 years old court near Po river hosts the cellar of magic.
The air enters from an open window to cultivate sweet mold, raised by the moisture of the river.
White and Bourdain hang a culatello just near the one of Alain Ducasse and Prince Albert of Monaco to cure for 2 years.

I do hope they had the chance to come again to take it out of the wall and have it with a bowl of wine.

Bourdain arrives at Acetaia Pedroni on “Sparky”, his red Ferrari, but the charm of luxury cars is blown away by the batteria of wood-made barrels of Giuseppe. 
Each Balsamic takes its name from the wide Pedroni’s family tree, starting in 800′s century after a lucky bet on lottery numbers.

I’m 100% sure that Bourdain respects and knows how to use Balsamic vinegar. But after the visit of the acetaia, he stops at Osteria di Rubbiara to taste Balsamic on Modena traditional dishes. 

This Osteria is not a place for #foodgasm (a term hated by Bourdain). 
The old owner confiscates your phone as soon as you enter. There is no written menu and you’re not supposed to leave leftovers on your dish.

Those rules may seem unpleasant and out of time, but they are a flashback in an area were food was work and efforts before pleasure. Things that Bourdain well knows.

They joke about Italian self confidence in wearing red trousers and fanny packs, without caring about age and dress code.
It’s a funny scene, but that’s the only contact with Bologna. 

And my biggest regret.

No leftover dishes like passatelli, no old Osterie who only sell wine on tap, no poor and tasty meat made with pork ears, tongue and heart (yes, we have it, and I put in on the table during our Classic Bologna tour).

Just 40min from Bologna, the cuisine of Osteria Fita already seeks to Florence. Starting with ficattola, a local fried bread with DOP cheese squacquerone the main attraction is fiorentina steak.

In his most famous article on the New Yorker Don’t eat before reading this, Bourdain explains why never order well-done meat in a restaurant. Fortunately, fiorentina can definitely be eaten.

They eat pasta and cheer together with a glass of Sangiovese red wine called Thea, in memory of Vittorio’s mother.   

​After lunch, Bourdain says:

I spent most of my teenage summers up on those hills, and I know how unique and beautiful they are.
​
My only wish is that in that vineyard, drinking wine and talking about food, he had some moments of peace. 

1. the dough must be handmade with wood rolling pin 
2. the shape of tortellino must be the classic one.

Except those, every chef is free to create and innovate, mix and combine. 
Tortellino Festival takes place in the stunning hall of Palazzo Re Enzo and in 2017 hosted 24 different chefs.
​With 20€ you can have 5 different tasting of tortellini.

Acqua Pazza
My first choice. I went straight to them to taste their fish tortellini with ray, anchovies, buffalo mozzarella in butter and truffle sauce. I’ve first run into this fish restaurant just outside Bologna at Mangirò food walk, where they prepared an amazing shrimp with gazpacho, and I was looking forward to meeting them again. Hardcore bolognesi can be skeptical about a fish tortellino, but for me it was just a perfect and well balanced dish.

Ristorante Cesoia
I was scrolling down Facebook newsfeed when I encountered a photo of a red&blue tortellini. I first thought about a well made work of Photoshop but then I read and realized it was an idea of Pietro Montanari. This young chef has a family tradition in Bologna and took Ristorante Cesoia by the hands of his grandfather 3 years ago. But how to make it look like them? I’m curious, I asked him. He decided to separate the filling: on the red one he mixed in the dough the pork loin and mortadella, for the blue ones he put the pollanca (pullet) with some squid ink and dried kale. This tortellini weren’t just an aesthetic divertissement, but a real example of the skills and imagination of this young guy.  

Massimiliano Poggi
Finally a classic tortellino. Cooked in beef and capon broth by the hands of Max Poggi, probably one of the most underrated chef of Bologna. Max is out of the Michelin Stars circuit and prefers to stay in the kitchen rather than walking around the tables, but his cuisine has nothing to envy to awarded restaurants of the area. He well combines modern techniques and grandmother’s tips, respects the tradition but looks forward to innovation and collaboration. A dinner at his restaurant in Trebbo di Reno worth a special occasion. Like a good bowl of hot tortellini.

After being divided in two groups, coupled with two different menus with dishes based on bread, we started our walk with just one rule: share. Not only the heat, the path and the laughter but especially the food.

After breakfast with fresh milk, bread and jam, we started to discover a complete menu served directly by the chefs, hidden in six small villages. Gino Fabbri, the best pastry in the world 2016, offered a croissant at Cà del Tosco. Then Daniele Reponi, the master of Panino in Modena, prepared a crescenta with cooked ham, apricot and confit tomatoes to start our walk with the right amount of strength. The antipasti served at Fradusto and Cà di Morandone were made by Da Francesco and Quanto Basta, some of the places recommended in our foodie map of Bologna.

During the walk between woods, lavender fields and farmhouses, we stopped under the trees to listen to live music played by Orchestra Senza Spine, an association of young professional musicians.
The main dishes were prepared by 2 of my favourite chefs of Bologna: Mario Ferrara of Scaccomatto and Max Poggi. 
Local wine and beer at every stop made the atmosphere even more relaxed and cheerful.

Some secret photos of me and Caterina with Poggi’s burger (bis and tris) are already part of Taste Bologna’s history.
