My 5 best tagliatelle in Bologna

If I ask my friends which are the best tagliatelle of Bologna I always get the same answer: my grandmother's.

It might be true, but maybe emotions sometimes give a better taste.

These are my favorite tagliatelle that you can find in Bologna's restaurants: with ragù Bolognese sauce, of course, but not only.

1. Tagliatelle with Porcini Mushrooms @Osteria Broccaindosso

Osteria Broccaindosso is always at the top of my list when recommending Bolognese cuisine.

Everything here— from the careful selection of ingredients to the warm hospitality, from the cozy, informal atmosphere to the excellent quality-price ratio— is exactly what you’d hope for in a traditional restaurant.

If you visit at the end of summer or in autumn, don’t miss their tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms. It’s worth the wait!

For a unique twist, try their passatelli with porcini—an unexpected but delightful combination.

2. Tagliatelle with Bolognese Ragù @Trattoria Da Me

Trattoria Da Me needs no presentation.

In just a few years, it has become one of the must-visit dining spots in Bologna.

They make every day all the best pasta in Bologna in the lab a few meters from the restaurant, from lasagne to tortellini.

Their tagliatelle al ragù stand out for their rich texture and the unmistakable touch of homemade pasta, with visible pieces of carrot enhancing the sauce.

Booking in advance—thankfully available online—isn’t just recommended: it’s essential!

3. Tagliatelle with Friggione @Osteria Bottega

Medicina is a small town in the country area of Bologna, very famous for the quality of its onions.

​Osteria Bottega, a small and elegant restaurant that pays a lot of attention to using the best local ingredients, makes a fabulous version of tagliatelle with friggione sauce, made of onion and tomatoes.

I went there with my friend Shahab of Emirates Airlines when he asked me to try the best tagliatelle in town: you can judge from his face in the video how great they are.

4. Green Tagliatelle with Ham @Trattoria Collegio di Spagna

5. Pappardelle with Porcini and Black Truffle @Caminetto D'Oro

Ok ok, I know these are not proper tagliatelle.
They're wider than the 8mm of perfection, in fact they call it pappardelle.

But how could I not include this gem in this list?

Don't expect to find this pappardelle in June: it's a seasonal dish like porcini mushrooms always must be.

At Caminetto D'Oro, you can prepare your mouth with gently fried sage and porcini (18€).

Then this handmade, rough, this past arrives.
The porcini melt in your mouth.
No garlic nor parsley.
Butter of course, not too much.
And black truffle.

You can't ask for more. Or...well...actually leave space for the creme caramel.
