For dinner restaurants open at 18.30 and working late, but it all depends on region. On Mondays half the restaurants as well as Italian pasticeria closed.

2. Look for wine from the grape of Chianti

3. To order spaghetti Bolognese

This is a dish that hates every self-respecting citizen of Bologna. The fact that such meals in Bologna simply does not exist, that is, it is, of course, found in the menu of restaurants aimed at tourists, but the residents of Bologna never bought. In the opinion of the inhabitants of this city, and spaghetti Bolognese — a parody of their traditional national dish of tagliatelle with ragu.

4. Look for a seafood pizza Marinara

Despite a very nautical name, pizza Marinara to seafood is not at all irrelevant. On the contrary, Marinara is a simplified version of margaritas and the cheapest style of pizza.
