1. Cibo Pasticceria
$ | |Just a handful of steps from Modena's beautiful cathedral, this lively place serves coffee, juices, fine wines by the glass, and lovely little sandwiches. But perhaps it's best to come here for a sweet, as they are luscious and delicious, and they're all made in-house.
Corso Duomo 19, Modena, Emilia-Romagna, 40100, Italy059-3966345Known For
- The short but well-priced wine list
- Tiny sandwiches, often on multigrain bread
- Their cannoli
-
2. Enoteca al Brindisi
$ | |Ferrara is a city of wine bars, beginning with this one (allegedly Europe's oldest), which opened in 1435—Copernicus drank here while a student in the late 1400s, and the place still has an undergraduate aura. The twentysomething staff pours well-chosen wines by the glass, and they serve cappellacci di zucca (pasta stuffed with squash) with two different sauces (ragù or butter and sage). Those in search of lighter fare might enjoy any of the salads or the grilled vegetable plate with melted Pecorino. Perfectly dusty wine bottles line the walls, and there are wooden booths in another small room for those who want to eat while they drink. No reservations.

- Set menus at great prices

3. Tabarro
$ | |Convivial, lively, and full of locals, this favorite little wine bar on one of Parma's main drags has a couple of keg tables outside, a few stools on the ground floor, and several more small tables upstairs. The menu is based largely on cheese and pork products (equine as well: people in this part of the world like to eat horse) and is designed to pair with, and accentuate, the fine wines on offer. There are plenty of seriously good Italian wines to choose from, and there are also a fair number of French wines and labels from across the rest of Europe. Genial proprietor Diego Sorba jettisoned his academic career (he has a PhD in Irish literature) to follow his true calling: wine and food.

- The ebullient host

4. Tamburini
$ | Piazza Maggiore |Two small rooms inside plus kegs and bar stools outside make up this lively, packed little spot. The overwhelming plate of affettati misti is crammed with top-quality local cured meats and succulent cheeses, and the adjacent salumeria offers many wonderful items to take away. At lunchtime, office workers swarm to the "self-service tavola calda" for simple but remarkably tasty primi and secondi. In the evening, Tamburini stays open as a wine bar with a vast array of selections by the glass and the bottle.
Via Caprarie 1, Bologna, Emilia-Romagna, 40124, Italy051-234726Known For

- Abundant portions

5. TCafè
$ | | CoffeeThe beauty of TCafè is that it does just about everything: the festivities begin with breakfast and end with an evening aperitivo. Locals flock to this place, which once housed the aristocratic Dalla Rosa Prati's art collection, to catch up on gossip, and have lunch, which offers local specialties (among them plates of mortadella and culatello), a soup of the day, sandwiches, and tasty salads like the one with smoked duck breast. The lengthy wine list includes something for all tastes, as does the equally extensive list of artisanal beers.

6. Archer
$ | |Bibliophile proprietor (she named her establishment after a Henry James heroine) Marina Bersani presides over this sleek wine bar. High ceilings provide plenty of places to store her vast collection of unique wines, and the short-but-sweet menu offers lots of traditional classics like affettati misti (sliced, cured pork products), as well as cheese plates.

7. Eataly
$ | Piazza Maggiore |At this lively shop---the original location in the now international Italian cuisine empire---with an attached bookstore, you can grab a bite to eat or have a glass of wine while stocking up on high-quality olive oil, vinegar, cured meats, and artisanal pasta. On the top floor, you can have a full-fledged trattoria meal, but what you can't have is anything decaffeinated. It's considered "chemical."
Via degli Orefici 19, Bologna, Emilia-Romagna, 40124, Italy051-0952820Known For
- Adherence to top-notch ingredients
- Reliance on local producers as much as possible
- Its lively atmosphere and marvelous staff
-
8. Mercato di Mezzo
$ | Piazza Maggiore |This former fruit and vegetable market, established in medieval times and transformed into a covered market after unification, has now morphed into a fancy gourmet food hall. Various outlets offer quality Bologna classics plus some innovations, including tortellini and tortelloni at DeGusto Coop; pizza at Rossopmodoro; panini, pasta, and cold cuts at L'Antica Bottega; and fried fish and quirky fish hamburgers at Pescheria del Pavaglione.

9. Sfoglia Rina
$ | |The pastaio (pasta-maker) tradition in this bright honeycomb tiled pasta shop and restaurant—which often has a line around the block—started nearly 60 years ago in a town about 9½ km (6 miles) southwest of Bologna. There, Rina De Franceschi rolled sfoglia (dough) following family recipes. Take a seat at one of the communal wooden tables to try regional specialties like tortellini in brodo and tagliatelle al ragù (pasta with meat sauce), as well as a weekly seasonal menu with often vegetarian takes on classics, like mezzelune rose ripiene di ceci, kale, e noci (red half moon-shape pasta filled with garbanzo beans, kale, and hazelnuts). There's also a small selection of regional wines by the glass or bottle and desserts such as crostate (pies) to finish the meal. The last orders are taken at 7 pm and diners may enjoy their meals until 8 pm, making this spot ideal for lunch or an early dinner.
Via Castiglione 5/b, Bologna, Emilia-Romagna, Italy051-9911710Known For
- Fresh pasta in many varieties
- Weekly vegetarian-friendly specials
- Affordable and wide-ranging menu

10. Trattoria Caffè del Rosso
$ | University area |Here, in the mirrored interior, a mostly young crowd chows down on classic regional fare at affordable prices. Nimble staff bearing multiple plates sashay neatly between the closely spaced tables delivering such standards as tortellini in brodo and cotoletta alla Bolognese (veal with Parmigiano-Reggiano and prosciutto). It is the kind of place where the waiters don't glare at you if you only order a plate of pasta—perhaps another reason it's a student favorite.
Via Augusto Righi 30/A, Bologna, Emilia-Romagna, 40126, Italy051-236730Known For
- Student haunt with great-value regional food
- Affordable wine list
- Fun atmosphere
