Mò Mortadella Lab

Disclaimer: I’m a vegetarian, so I realize I’m not their main target audience. That said, they do offer two vegetarian options (thank you!). I tried the #23, which was good but not great—mostly bread with a lighter amount of filling than I’d hoped. Also was not particularly blown away by the flavor combos. Luckily, the bread itself was tasty and well made. If you’re vegetarian, it’s nice to know there are options here, and they may be worth a try. Personally, it just wasn’t my favorite in Italy (that still goes to a spot in Florence).

The meat and bread at this sandwich shop were top-notch—the bread was light and crispy, and the meat packed a ton of flavor. That said, I would’ve liked some kind of sauce to bring it all together, as the sandwich leaned a bit dry. The sandwich is quite big too and I feel me and my partner could have shared so that we had more room for trying other items in Bologna. Just a heads-up: it's a walk-up only spot with no seating, so we ended up standing across the street to eat. Still, worth a stop if you're in the mood for a quality sandwich.

A small place between the streets but the food is amazing. It doesn't matter if you prefer fine-dining or street-food, this is a must try! Bread is special and crispy. We had one with Mortadella, Buffalo and Olive oil and loved the taste. We ordered 2 but the portions are big and it is also possible to share one. Employees are fast and friendly. They speak also English. Thank you for the great food!

- Quick and premier service (they had a guy organizing the line and an assembly of guys making the food. Just perfectly done - I tried an 18, which seems to be one of the most popular. Amazing. I really don’t think you an go wrong here. And the prices are incredible at only about 6-7 euro per sandwich. You cannot beat this!

I’ve already sung praises about these sandwiches – and I’m not exaggerating. Google might find it hard to believe, but this was honestly one of the best things I’ve ever eaten! The absolute standout is the pistachio sandwich – it’s out of this world. The flavor is unreal, everything is fresh and perfectly balanced. Everywhere around you’ll find quick 5-minute ragù… but MO truly stands out – it was the highlight of my entire trip!

good mortadella sandwich, generous portions, quick service. we went at peak lunch time but the line goes quick! i’m personally not the biggest fan of mortadella and this crispier type of white bread, so of course i knew this wasn’t going to blow me away. but it was probably the best of what i could get, and i wanted to try a Bolognese staple. i had the one with rocket and balsamico which was very nice, a good balance of ingredients. the parmesan flakes were also a great addition! however i would have liked to add a little tomato for freshness. tried some of my brother’s with sundried tomato, and my mom’s with artichokes, i recommend those two as well!

For just a little street shop, they're doing pretty well. You just order your sandwich and they have it ready within a few minutes. We weren't really hungry as we had already eaten lunch somewhere else so we just ordered 1 sandwich just to say we tried it, but after eating the first one we definitely could've eaten another. Next time we'll go there first. We had the mortadella with pistachio pesto and stracciatella. Buonissimo.

I’ve traveled far and wide, and frankly don’t care for ham so hear me when I say this. The #18 (mortadella, stracciatella, + pistachio pesto) was a top 5 best sandwich of my life. Absolutely crazy how amazing such few yet fresh, local ingredients can come together. The guys behind the counter were kind as well, overall value phenomenal. The easiest of recommendations 🙏🏼
