It's not a restaurant. But absolutely go for an aperitivo before you go to dinner. Authentic. Great atmosphere. Genuine. And if you're hungry, you can walk across the street, pick up some bresaola and parmigiano, and bring it back to have with your drink. Noisy. Very Bologna. Perfect start for an evening out.

Bad smell, shocking wc, drunk people and noisy, so noisy you can't hear yourself. Go for a quiet place in the main square (Piaza Magiore) or toward the Towers, but avoir this place.

This place turned out to be the highlight of my trip but only because of the quality of the fresh food that we brought with us and the great atmosphere within. They don't serve any food, only wine which was not bad at all but don't be expecting the best. The Osteria is located right in the fresh food market... More

This is a one off : the sign above the door just says 'vino'- which pretty well sums it up! You bring your own food and wash it down with....vino! The atmosphere was amazing, the place packed out with a huge cross section of humanity- all in various stages of joyful inebriation. Noisy, raucous, hectic, fantastic fun, friendly welcoming bar...

This bar was recommended to us by the export manager of the company my husband & brother-in-law do business with. It is her favourite bar and without her encouragement we would (as tourists) never have dared to go in. We would have missed a fantastic experience. We've all heard of BYOB ( bring your own bottle) well this BYOF (bring... More

Osteria del Sole inverts the usual defintion of BYO (bring your own): here you bring the food and they provide the drink. 2 euro for a glass of house wine. The place is full of people at lunchtime tucking into picnic lunches bought in the surrounding street markets. It is a favourite place for the evening aperitivo with dozens of... More
