Bologna


Hurry up and wait at this famous Casalecchio di Reno transplant – it's impossible to walk by without salivating over its fresh pasta. Started in 1963 in the Bolognese suburbs, the modern and hip city location attracts oodles of in-the-know pasta lovers for both the traditional (tagliatelle, tortellini, tortelloni) and weekly-changing creative takes.

Communal seating (write your name, table number and order on the paper provided) under the pasta-basket-draped ceiling and a counter by the fresh pasta shop are the fastest to be seated. No reservations.
