The 18 Essential Bologna Restaurants
"Mercato delle Erbe is a produce market and food hall that encompasses delis, pizzerias, charcuterie bars, a few restaurant outposts, and Noi (which also has a location on Via dei Fornaciai). Located in one of the corners devoted to restaurants, it’s a prime choice for crescentine fritte: fried, lightly salted dough pillows that pair with Bologna’s fresh, soft squacquerone cheese and thinly sliced cured meats. The operation also specializes in polpette (meatballs), from traditional to more fanciful options, like cold canape-style mortadella polpette coated in pistachio. The pastas aren’t half bad, either. Noi is open Sundays, when lots of restaurants close." - Coral Sisk
