An old time "trattoria popolare", a working-class restaurant. Low prices, excellent food, friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

Best pizza in town, hands down. Not really a restaurant though, more of street-food shop, and the prices are surprisingly low (even more so considering the quality.) The young couple that opened the place are also super friendly.

You'd expect traditional food to have its traditional restaurants, but then you find new places that become instant-classics

More bistro than cafè, one of the better places in town for vegan/vegetarian food. Nice cocktails too. Furniture is an eclectic mix, giving the place a homey feel.

This cafè specializes in Sicilian sweets: and they make them right. The brioche with ricotta is probably my favorite, but I'll have to try another just to be sure.

Drinks & Nightlife
Medulla Vini
18a Via Guglielmo OberdanOrganic, biodynamic wines at affordable prices
Rude
10a Via RialtoLovely homey bar with very reasonable prices
A tiny bar that could probably fit only 20 people but every evening around aperitivo time (7-10pm) is packed with at least 100. And yet somehow they also manage to fit in there live music concerts.

During the day it's a low-key cafè, from aperitivo time to midnight it becomes a cheap, friendly dive-bar with a pool table and two foosball tables. Don't be shy about inviting strangers to play with you!

Essentials
CONAD CITY
37 Via Guglielmo OberdanI usually do my general groceries here
The biggest vegetable market in the city center. The best vegetables all find their way here. During lunch time and in the evening there are also a few nice eateries too.

Arts & Culture
A rather quirky, off-beat museum: 18th and 19th century wax figures that helped medical students learn, before, well, we got the internet.

Bologna was one of the biggest centers of Arte Povera, which was in vogue throughout the 1970s. The permanent collection is mostly that -- there's also a video of a famous perfomance of Marina Abramovic here -- with some nods to younger, contemporary artists. The rotating exhibition is usually good, but who knows.

Shopping
A lovely independent, alternative bookstore. You don't have to know a word of Italian to enjoy going there and flip through the books - though they do have some in English.

Parks & Nature
Going out of the city might not be the first thing I'd recommend on a short stay, but for those staying longer -- weather permitting -- villa Ghigi is a lovely park for a walk and a picnic
