"Bologna la grassa" - Bologna the fat - says something about the
attitude its inhabitants have to food. The rich plains of the Po valley produce
enough food and variety to stimulate the experimentation and pleasure in eating
- beyond mere sustentation, which produce great cuisine.
As everywhere else in Italy, avoid carefully tourist traps (bad food, lousy
service and steep bills). Ask the hotel receptionist (careful here, they usually
get a kickback from the restaurants), or just follow your instinct: the place
must be full of locals and no tourists in sight - this is a guarantee of
quality.
We went to a restaurant, following the receptionist's recommendation:
Trattoria Danio. Good food, typical Italian atmosphere - not a foreigner in
sight, besides us, of course.
