This 3.5-hour Bologna Food Tour with Local Delights by Do Eat Better begins on Via Ugo Bassi, where an English-speaking local guide introduces the group to traditional Bolognese cuisine and suggests notable local eateries. The tour proceeds to Fontana del Nettuno for the first tasting, featuring fresh handmade pasta such as tagliatelle al ragù alla Bolognese with Parmesan cheese or traditional tortellini in broth, both prepared according to local tradition. Next, the group walks along Via dell'Indipendenza to sample either tigelle, a small round bread typical of Emilia-Romagna served with local toppings, or Mortadella, the well-known Bolognese salami served in a cone or on a platter. The tour continues at Palazzo Sanuti - Bevilacqua degli Ariosti, where participants taste Cotoletta alla Bolognese, a veal cutlet fried, baked with cream, Parmesan cheese, smoked ham, and meat broth following a traditional recipe. For dessert, guests choose between artisanal Italian gelato or Torta degli Addobbi, a rice cake with origins dating back to the 1400s and associated with the Corpus Domini festival. The tour concludes in Piazza Cavour with a freshly brewed espresso at a local café. All tastings, water, and alcoholic beverages are included. The group size is kept small to provide focused attention and guidance throughout the tour offered by Do Eat Better. The guide may speak both English and Italian during the tour. Guests with severe or life-threatening food allergies cannot participate in this experience for safety reasons.
