It was so amazing that we came here multiple times. Would definitely recommend to anyone going to Bologna! The prices are incredible for the quality and the service is quick and friendly. 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!

Bottles are super cheap here for wine and liquor. But the cicchetti is what drew in the crowd. Lots to choose from. Some with simple flavors and ingredients and others being more fancy and complex. Pretty cheap eats for a pick me up a few hours before dinner. Standing room only or take it to go so you can enjoy by the canal. Cool experience while visiting Venice.

We walked in to overwhelmingly beautiful cases of cheeses and meats, and the owner was happy to lend his English to help us find the best of the best Veronese options to try. He picked out two classic cheeses from the area and three different salamis and prosciuttos for us to get a whole array of flavors from the region! Great prices for the quality and quantity, and the picnic area is just incredible. Would highly recommend a stop here, and might go in again tomorrow!

Then grab a bottle of Prosecco or wine and head out back with your box of goodies to spread over the barrel tables overlooking the water! May I recommend the peach mostarda, it is one of the weirdest and most awesome things I have ever had. We got prosciutto, salamino and Parmesano! Gosh, this is the type of place I had in mind when we moved to Italy. I hope others figure out this winning formula!

Comes with calamari, shrimps and fishes. They were not very crunchy and crispy so I can still feel the small bones in the fish. I really had to be careful with the bones.

One night we even popped back in for cocktails and simply enjoyed watching all the groups of locals having such a good time.

They have these signature little wood boxes to sit on and gigantic boards of meats & cheeses...fun fun.
