Our cruise ship diverted to Ravenna for a day and we chose Al Rustichello as a lunch spot. A block…read moreoutside the old city walls, we could not have been happier with our choice. We chose two pastas and some wine and shared it all, easily done as the pasta is served in the skillets in which they were prepared. The portions were ample but not overwhelming and the flavors were so satisfying. Reasonable prices, especially after having been gouged at all the touristy restaurants for the previous 10 days. Friendly service, relaxed vibe. Possibly the best lunch on our Mediterranean trip.

Absolutely incredible, every time. It's a little bit off the beaten path but the service, ambience…read moreand food are spectacular. Two fun pieces of the experience are that they just tell you the dishes and you don't need to read a menu, and secondly they serve everything in pans. It's INCREDIBLE, you must try this place! Thank you, Trattoria Ristorante Al Rustichello!!

On our last night in Bologna, we were lucky enough to get a table and enjoyed one of our best…read moremeals. The service was friendly, attentive, prompt, and helpful. We split the platter of meats, lasagna, tortellini, tagliatelle and ragu, and grilled veggies. The lasagna was soft, pillowy, and decadent without being heavy, the tagliatelle was al dente and flavorful, and the tortellini stuffed with creamy ricotta. For dessert we split a generous portion of tiramisu, which was creamy and rich. We had a couple bottles of Chianti. The ambiance is relaxing with a neighborhood vibes. This is a wonderful osteria, everything was chef's kiss.

Intro: After exploring Bologna to the fullest, we made our way to Osteria Broccaindosso for dinner…read more Located outside of the heart of Bologna, despite being away from the center of the action, the restaurant was almost full. They didn't have any tables outside so we were seated inside. Service (3.5/5): No WiFi unfortunately which isn't great for an international traveler like me. Standard European service. Not terribly friendly and not terribly efficient but I would say they were a bit more attentive than the norm. They did hook us up with some complimentary limoncello shots which was a really nice touch. Ambiance (3.5/5): A little quieter since it's off the beaten path which I like. A pleasant, homey restaurant. Drinks (4.5/5): We shared a bottle of wine. And the aforementioned limoncello shots. Food (4/5): We went with their pasta for two deal where each person gets three different types of pasta that you choose from six or so options. I love getting a variety of dishes so this was a nice way to do it. Not huge portions given the price but still delicious. The dishes were served to us quickly and we got to try some pastas we had never heard of. Overall: When in Bologna, Osteria Broccaindosso makes for a fine choice. It's a 15-minute walk or so from the center of town.

We thought we would have time to wander around the old city of Ferrara but when we realized we…read moreneeded to get going to reach our destination on time we fired up the trusty Yelp app to search for vegan food for lunch -- La Vegana was one of the options that popped up -- and it was close to where we were so we plugged in our GPS and headed straight for it. I'm glad we did because it because it was one of the best mid-day meals of our entire two week trip through Italy, Germany and Austria. La Vegana is a small, unassuming restaurant and shop in a quiet neighborhood. There are a few tables for eating in but it appears to me that much of their business is take away and selling vegan grocery items. The menu for the day is written out on a chalk board. We were able to decipher it with no problem but if your Italian is marginal the woman at the counter spoke excellent English and was helpful in making our selections. I ordered ravioli spinaci. It was very good. I ate vegan ravioli three times while in Italy, once when we made it ourselves in a cooking class in Como, then at an upscale vegan restaurant in Venezia, and finally here at La Vegana. The ravioli at La Vegana was not as fancy as at the restaurant in Venezia -- but the taste was just as good. The ravioli we made ourselves was also good -- but we're just beginners when it comes to making pasta. My traveling companions report that they also enjoyed there selections. If you are a vegan and looking for good vegan food in Ferrara, I recommend La Vegana. They open at 11:00am and close at 9:00pm. It is worth seeking out.

This wonderful restaurant just steps from the piazza del poppolo is a quiet refined space perfect for a great meal. The interior is housed in an old hat shop where those cabinets now display the wines and provide a very nice backdrop. There is soft piano music playing and the tables are large enough to provide plenty of room for your dishes nor are they packed in. The service is friendly, crisp and professional. The wine list has something for everyone. The bread basket is home made and it shows. We were each given a complementary vegetarian meatball which was very good,We ordered the tortellini with a an aged Parmesan sauce. This is an excellent version of this dish. The tortellini were obviously hand made, cooked perfectly al dente and the flavor worked beautifully with the Parmesan. The veal was perfectly cooked, crispy with the right amount of ham and a nice sauce that fished off the dish. The potatoes were also perfectly cooked and flavored with some rosemary. We tried the tiramisu for dessert. A tiramisu that has been tweaked with a bit more mascarpone and amazing chocolate shavings. Proving a perfect dish can be improved Overall just an excellent experience at a place that hits all the right notes.
