Excellent bread, mortadella, cream, rocket. Bologna…read more That's a 5 star review in and of itself and Il Panino is one of the best representations of that you will find in the city. I was there before the crowd rush and was able to take my time and savor the magic. They have something for whatever you are in the mood for but mortadella in Bologna is hard to beat.

Simple, good, and at a cheap price point. We got the gourmet, and it was great. No complaints.read more

One night we even popped back in for cocktails and simply enjoyed watching all the groups of locals having such a good time. The one in Navigli or Brera Milan were not as fun looking, this one is situated on a corner that juts out and has lovely outdoor seating. They have these signature little wood boxes to sit on and gigantic boards of meats & cheeses...fun fun.

Whenever I return to Bologna, this place will be at the top of my list!

Salumeria Simoni is located on Via Drapperie, a narrow street where there are restaurants,…read morebutchers, fresh seafood shops, and cheese shops. There are many places with tables outside, but I feel that Simoni is the best, plus it's always the busiest. I came here for a cold beer and some lunch and decided on Simoni, as they had a table outside available, but before I sat, I walked inside the store and looked at all the food, the hams hanging on the wall, it was wonderful! I was quickly seated and given a menu. I ordered a cold beer right away and perused the menu. My server brought me a cold beer and asked me if I was ready to order. I decided on the Charcuterie and Cheese, which had a selection of meats and cheeses as well as some bread. I was concerned if it would be enough for me. Well, this large plate of meat arrived and suddenly I was concerned if I could eat it all! I was worried for nothing, I devoured some of the best Italian meat and cheese that I have ever had. The Mortadela was especially tasty. Service was great, food was phenomenal, and it was so nice to sit there on the street watch all the people walk by. I can highly recommend Simoni, but be careful if you go by yourself! You will be full!

There isn't really room inside to eat. The outdoor parklet is nice because there's a glass barrier to the street, and there are umbrellas for of it's sunny, blankets for if it's cold. The focus is sandwiched. Paninis are €7 each. There's a menu on the wall in Italian with the 5 daily choices (including a vegetarian one). Wines are cheap: €3.50-5 a glass. We tried: - Braesola with truffle cream: I love that the braesola here is not as salty as in the US - Mortadella with fava bean purée: unexpectedly good You can grab a glass of wine and walk around the market as you wait for your sandwich - no sure if it's really allowed, but no one stopped us. Also, the Mercato has free WiFi. The woman working there were very patient while we decided on our order, and she spoke English. Cash only.

Fantastic piadina sandwich place located not too far away from the main historic square of Bologna…read more The staff spoke no English so we had to rely on what little Italian we knew and Google translate to help us order, but once we got our sandwiches, we were so happy to have come by here because it was arguably the best sandwich we've had during our time in Italy. I got their funghi freschi grana e rucola (fresh mushrooms, grana padano cheese, and arugula) sandwich and it was so delicious. The bread used for this type of sandwich was phenomenal and I'm now craving a piadina just writing this up. Well worth a visit, if you happen to be in Bologna.

Since everything was in…read moreItalian and my family and I love to try new things, we just picked a random one on the board and ordered that. The piadina is kind of like a pizza dough folded in half and stuffed with ingredients so it's eaten like a quesadilla. It was absolutely DELICIOUS and so convenient to eat. We wished we were more hungry so we could've tried more of the savory options!

Outstanding sandwich/panini shop in Verona near the Castelvecchio…read more I order their "nympho" sandwich, which featured mortadella on focaccia with a mozzarella cream and pistachio.
