Bologna, Italy, Is the Birthplace of Lasagna alla Bolognese — How to Visit
"Enoteca Storica Faccioli is known for its natural wines and impressive selection of cured meats that make Emilia-Romagna famous. It is a popular spot for trying Bologna’s peppery mortadella." - Kristin Braswell

"The ultimate wine bar for natural wine enthusiasts and charcuterie lovers, Enoteca Faccioli has a classy interior fit more for bankers and lawyers than for the funky crowd natural wines tend to attract. However, the tagliere (charcuterie) plates are a must, composed of artisan cheeses and local cured-meat specialties, including mortadella from one of Bologna’s last wholly artisanal producers, Pasquini. The wall is covered with wines from around the boot, but insider advice is to explore the lesser-sung wine region of the Emilia-Romagna and its small yet fascinating selection of indigenous wines, plus Lambruscos made in the style of Champagne." - Coral Sisk
This place looked quite interesting and visited with a couple of friends. We ordered one of their middle ranged bottle of wine and were a bit disappointed with it. The overall experience was a bit flat and there wasn’t much engagement with the staff. We also thought the prices were on the high side. It was the first time we left some wine behind.

What a charming shop! The proprietor took great care in suggesting wines to bring to a dinner party. We are eager to go back and sit and sip some wine on the tables out front.

In my experience, the staff didn’t seem interested in sharing any knowledge about the wine. No enthusiasm at all. It felt like they just wanted me to make a quick purchase.
On the plus side, I was happy to see Arianna Occhipinti wines available.

Great place to relax with a glass of wine [or 3] and a snack. The foccacia with coppa and fig was exceptional and the smoked eel was quite good as well. Ask your server for their wine recommendations.

Sit down, have a glass of their wine of the day over a shared plate of snacks. You will not regret your decision to spend some time here watching the people stroll up the very picturesque Via Altabella.
