Il Tartufo Trattoria — Restaurant in Bologna

This family run restaurant is a gem. We were looking for something that was not too far from our accommodation ( opposite the main station) after a busy day of sight-seeing. We were there at opening (7.00pm) and were able to get a table, but it might be a good idea to book as there is not a lot of other choices nearby.

Try it without the parmiggiano first then sprinkle a bit on...2 amazing flavours. To finish a sublime panna cotta. I stayed for a couple of hours because once you get in & experience this classic, homey environment you won't want to leave. So, why not 5 stars? Lack of air conditioning. Despite that, I'll return...in the...
