Trattoria Bertozzi

The 18 Best Restaurants in Bologna, Italy | Eater

"Trattoria Bertozzi is a little off the beaten path (about a 30-minute walk from the heart of the city center or a 10-minute taxi ride), but the journey along tree-lined residential streets charms those who decide to make the trek to one of Bologna’s best traditional trattorias. Tables inside are few and fill up, so booking in advance is a must — though there is additional veranda seating for nice days. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, but the trattoria does make one of Bologna’s best plates of gramigna, a type of hollow, corkscrew macaroni. The Bertozzi version is smothered in a bold, fragrant saffron and Parmesan cream with zucchini, at times with crispy guanciale. The restaurant has a decent bubbles fridge and an extensive wine cellar; the staff don’t offer up a list but instead pair according to your wishes." - Coral Sisk
