I don’t pretend to have visited all the delis in Bologna, but I have seen quite a few and this one in Via Obedan is my favourite.
I bought some of the pumpkin tortellini. They were beautifully wrapped, and they were taken home and cooked with butter and sage.
There are several delis and food stalls in the centre of Bologna in Via Drapperie and Via Pescheria. I couldn’t resist the sausages in the window of one and I can report that they were delicious.
Here are a few more of the food delights to be found in Bologna.

Your photos conjure up two words: mouthwatering and succulent! Thank you!!

“Bologna la rossa, Bologna la grassa” (Bologna the Red one, Bologna the fat one), Red because of its political leanings and fat because of all the good food. It is a culinary paradise. My favourite shop is the mythical A.F. Tamburini. Only trouble… too many clients and visitors…

Tamburini is a victim of its success. I think think the food is great there, but on this visit at lunch I had the surliest waiter I have ever had in Italy…and that is saying something.

The pumpkin tortellini with butter and sage sounds heavenly. I’ve heard that the food in Bologna is the best in Italy, which I think is saying a lot. Is that your feeling too?

They could certainly show Coles’ deli a thing or two! Is it expensive Deb? I’m so envious of that kind of culture.

The prices are higher than in Bagni di Lucca,but probably about the same as Brisbane, but with much more variety.

And the food…dear God, the food. Bologna claims to be Italy’s culinary capital, and I’m not one to argue. The list of foods originating in Bologna and the surrounding area—lasagna, tortellini, “spaghetti bolognese”, Parma ham, balsamic vinegar, parmesan cheese—reads like a what’s what of Italian cuisine. Then there’s “bologna” itself (or rather, the gargantuan but delicately flavored mortadella), along with pretty much any other cured pork products you can imagine.

So very intutitive of you! That is right next to where my aunt lives and is indeed the best salumeria in Bologna (or so we think). The only drawback: prices. We call it the jewelry!
