This Eataly in Bologna is different from most other locations in that it's half bookstore, half…read moreeverything else you'd expect from an Eataly (cafe, bar, grocery store). Located in a three-story building a stone's throw east from the main Piazza Maggiore and directly across the alley from Mercato di Mezzo (a separate moderate sized food hall), the Eataly retail space is spread over all 3 floors, with groceries mainly located on the 2nd story. The ground/1st floor is mostly books and a casual bar/cafe, where they serve simple pastries and coffee/tea in the morning and apertivo options (meaning light bites and classic cocktails) in the early evening. Upstairs on the second floor (1st floor for Europeans ;), there is a selection of olive oils, vinegars, condiments, dry goods, snacks, candies, wines and liquors, and gifting items. A smaller selection of grocery items than other Eataly locations and no fresh produce. There is a wine bar/beer garden area upstairs as well though it didn't seem to be in use during the couple times I dropped by in early April, however the still carried quite a broad wine selection considering the space. I dropped by one late afternoon and tried the fried polenta and an aperol spritz. The food was kinda unimpressive, the fried polenta felt a bit thick and heavy, the drink was ok. It took a while to wait for the food though the drink was ready fairly quickly. Overall a convenient location to pick up a food/cook book in Italian or other souvenirs.

This has got to be one of the best deals in Bologna! Apertivo is big in Bologna​ and turns out…read moreApertivo buffets are pretty popular too. We had friends originally from Italy who used to always host us for apertivo-type meals, and we've always enjoyed the concept of plentiful variety, instead of just a main entree. There were a couple of places we saw serving up even a greater variety of food, but we really liked the balance of quality, quantity, and presentation of the setup​ in Neaera, coupled with its nice quaint outdoor seating area. Pricing was phenomenal! The drink photo I posted equated to about $8 USD, which included the all-you-can-eat buffet. It was about an additional $1USD to add on the buffet​ as if the drink itself for about $7USD wasn't already a deal. What an absolute steal, especially when compared to what this would cost in San Francisco! Of course, given the bargain-basement​ price, this is far from high-end​ food, and I'm pretty sure they're not using fresh homemade artisanal​ pasta, but definitely a good variety of tasty food. Lots of pasta, fresh veggies, and all tasty. Just don't come expecting meat dishes. At least they weren't serving any meat last night. However, we've gone to similar apertivo buffets in Spain where there were​​ charcuterie and freshly​​ baked chicken being served. What a fun way to have a nice little economical dinner! I've yet to see anything even close to being on par in terms of quantity​ and quality at ​similar pricing at any happy hour in the San Francisco Bay Area!!

We ended up in BoaVista , we were surprise by the good ,sophisticated atmosphere, and glamorous decoration . It was a really trendy ,fashionable , and cosy place to have the drink. The price was fair and affordable. Our Bartender (Mattia) was a real professional at his job; he was kind, effective and attentive. We had so many cocktails, sometimes following his advice; all the cocktails had a perfect elaboration, taking care of the smallest details.

Once upon a time, getting a beer in Italy that wasn't crap commercial lager meant getting a crap…read morecommercial "doppio malto" that added some caramel and maybe 1% ABV to their standard product. The alternative splurge, was finding a bar that served some pedestrian Belgian blonde, like Grimbergen. Green River, though, is the hugest slam dunk triumph of craft brewing brilliance - - it is hard to imagine such a bold, amazing tap line up in this country. I stopped by other places in town and the more adventurous beer bars tend to have the typical "we are expanding our palate" approach - - they got a hefe, they got an amber, a pale ale, they may even have a stout (shrieks from the audience). But Green River has a bitchin' line up representing a full range of styles, from a low-abv "salty ale" (a Gose?), to a fab imperial IPA, and three with ABV over 10%. This is not a cautious, milquetoast approach to "an introduction" to craft beers - - it is a slam down seizing it by the jugular. And most of this big-time line-up of taps are Italian! It is not soaking in atmosphere, this place, it is soaking in first-class suds. Totally, totally, the bomb for beer in Bologna.
