"Tucked into a hard-to-find alley, Ruggine, formerly a bike workshop, is part vintage craft cocktail bar, part pub. The food is decent, but come for the drinks in one of Bologna’s artsy enclaves. The bartenders have respectful command of classic cocktails, utilizing bottles from independent distillers and an ace ice machine (as a compromise between the hand-carved ice of mixologists and the slivers of quick-melting cubes that can ruin even the best Negroni). Given the quality, consistency, and service, this spot can get crowded." - Coral Sisk
