After the walking tour, he will take you to a local Bolognese osteria, where you can fulfill your food cravings with either a curated meat and cheese platter tasting (parmigiano reggiano, pecorino cheese and curated meats such as mortadella, culatello and prosciutto) or a comforting pasta dish (lasagna or tagliatelle al ragù or tortellini in brodo). Enjoy your meal with a glass of local red wine - you can choose between Lambrusco (fizzy) or Sangiovese (smooth). End your tour with a cup of Italian coffee!
