Osteria Bartolini
Bologna, Italy
Osteria Bartolini brings the Adriatic coast to central Bologna, serving seafood in the former stables of Palazzo Dondini Ghiselli. In warmer weather, the courtyard beneath a monumental plane tree is a particular attraction. The cooking follows the catch and coastal traditions, offering a useful change from the city’s meat-rich pasta repertoire. Check the restaurant’s current seating arrangements before going: its website advertises a bookable aperitivo but states that regular restaurant tables are not reserved.
