Trattoria di Via Serra
Bolognina, Bologna, Italy
Across the railway tracks in Bolognina, Trattoria di Via Serra draws on longstanding relationships with small producers. Its compact dining rooms, wood-lined interior and straightforward hospitality suit a meal centred on the food rather than a formal occasion. Traditional pasta and seasonal cooking make the journey beyond the historic centre worthwhile. There are only about thirty-five seats, so telephone well ahead: the restaurant explicitly states that it does not accept reservations through online booking platforms.
