Oh Bologna 🤤 Recreate our entire video with this FREE guide: creative-producer-4467.ck.page/8db57f3e81 // Thanks for watching guys ❤

[@costantinofiocchi562]

Here in Milan where I live, many bars offer something called "Happy-hour" aperitives. They charge you more for the drinks, but either they bring you loads of things to "nibble", or, in some bars, you can help yourself into a kind of "buffet" where you can help yourself with loads of little appetizers on an "all-you-can-eat" basis. It really depends on the place you pick for your drinks.

[@fabiofabi4637]

In Italy the aperitif changes depending on the place. There are bars where they only give you chips and olive and others where they are much more generous and bring you many more things such as salame and cheeses. You have to look inside a little first to see if there are trays or ask the waiter 😊

[@waysoftheworld_]

thanks for the tips! I guess it could have been easy to ask to waiters 🙃 we always just hoped for the best and assumed if the bar had meats and cheeses that the would give them to us 😂

[@mihaigrosu5005]

And for the aperitivo , it always depends on the bar , not on the price . Just find the right one and stick with that one . Another fact , there is "apericena" where normally one drink is 7-12 € and you have unlimited buffet food .

[@waysoftheworld_]

Yes, it's definitely delicious! 'Best' is always difficult to say - but I think I had my favorite pasta dish of the trip in a little Roman trattoria (carbonara). The pesto genovese in Genoa was a close second. But really we ate so much incredible food everywhere! My favorite pizza was in Sicily - don't tell Napoli 🤫

If you want to eat with the aperitivo you need to ask for "un tagliere", it usually cost more in total, but it depends from bar to bar. Some bar dont do it and others are very generouse. Check on google maps pictures of the bar aperitivo before choosing one

Yeah the quantity and quality of the free food during an "aperitivo" depends a lot on which bar do you choose, in some places if you want something more special or tastier it's not for free; it's just about discovering which bar has the best offer 🙌 (however just subscribed 😊)

[@jimchoi2719]

We are flying to Bologna,Modena, Parma and Verona in Jul from UK. Your Bologna guide is great and I also love mortadella.

[@suleymi2027]

Loved the video! We’ll be going to Bologna is May. How many days would you recommend staying for?

[@waysoftheworld_]

Thanks for the comment! 48 hours is probably enough if you just want to focus on the city itself and eat lots of yummy food. But there's a lot of cool stuff in the area like Prosciutto/Parmigiano/Balsamico factory tours in nearby Parma & Modena. There are the Ferrari/Lamborghini museums (if you're interested. We were not 😉). So you can also use it as a base to explore some cool stuff. Long story short, it depends 🙃 You will love Bologna!

[@giacomofazioli3123]

depends on the kind of trip you wanna do, bologna is surrounded by hills, having nice nature trekkings there is really nice, going into trattorias (rural restaurants) and enjoy all the small cities aroudn it. I suggest for the first day to go around the city and give a piece of papaer to some old people i there, they will write down all the nicest things u can sample and try. They will be delighted by being able to help out some tourists to enjoy what they love

[@totozeus]

16:50 - Ciao, a first difference is between "aperitivo" and "apericena", the second is generally done from 6.30 pm onwards and you can have more things to eat even small samples of pizza. Then it depends a lot on the bar and the price.

[@waysoftheworld_]

Thank you! We totally missed out on apericena 🙈 time to go back to Italy!

[@corradospagnuolo614]

I really like these "reports" of yours on the various Italian cities. I think you have realized that the prices of bars and restaurants can vary a lot from the South, to the Center, to the North. Generally the South is cheaper, but prices can vary even in the same city: an "apericena" (i.e. an aperitif with various plates of delicacies) in Milan (where I live) can cost up to 20/30 euros, while a "Negroni" (for me the TOP, try it!) with some olives and various pretzels costs between 7 and 10 euros. Ciao!

[@HA-bc4pc]

100% eating & drinking 😂❤

[@waysoftheworld_]

Yes, indeed! When in Bologna... 😎

[@robyfiorili]

Depends on the time, and the kind of place. If you read "Happy Hour" or "Apericena" (it means aperitivo + cena, cena means dinner) with just one drink you can eat a lot of food, probably from a buffet, better probably after 7,30pm. In Milan you can do it at Navigli and Arco della Pace for sure and probably everywhere in the center of the city. But the traditional aperitivo at the bar, at 6:00-6:30pm is just with olives, chips, little pizzas, focaccia.

[@waysoftheworld_]

Thanks so much for sharing this!! I can't believe, after 11 weeks in Italy, we never did 'apericena' 🙈 Anyways, we hope to be back in Italy many times and keep learning more about everything :) Thanks again for sharing!

[@quelodequelo]

Aperitivo: you basically drink and eat some salty snacks and then you have your meal at home or in a restaurant Apericena: drinks + all you can eat buffet You went to Fabrik bar for aperitivo and just missed Naera lounge bar above the street that offers apericena . Many bars just offer aperitivo and then you can ordered "un tagliere" to eat salame, mortadella, cheese etc I prefer going to prosciutteria in via Oberdan or tamburini and have whine+ tagliere

[@marcomanto1350]

The kibnd of aperitivo changes from city to city...in some place (likely the price is big higher) you get quite lot of food. In the South they tend to be more generous with food.

[@waysoftheworld_]

Thanks! Sometimes we avoided the places where the prices seemed too high. But maybe these were the ones we should have visited to get a 'better' aperitivo 😎

[@nicoerpirata6466]

Hi, speaking of aperitif there is only one place where you can find many snacks with an aperitif, in Milan! In fact it is called 'Apericena' which means aperitif and dinner precisely because of the quantity of food they bring you with the aperitif and the prices range from 7 to 15 euros maximum! There are many places that serve it! Check it out 😜😜

[@filippocassarini791]

It depends for aperitivo. If you go to a nice lounge they will have quite the spread.... But they will charge 20 euro for an aperol spritz. The average bar will give you chips.

Yea Bologna is definitely on the pricier side. It's one of the wealthiest cities in Italy, and I guess that correlates to higher prices. That said - at least compared to the US - the restaurant prices seemed fair considering the quality of the food & wine 😎

You had the typical Italian "aperitivo". Once a time most bars offered you that, because an aperitif is an alcoholic or non-alcoholic drink that is drunk before meals only for stimulate the appetite. When it became a "fad", that is..., it was already a fad but not a full-blown trend, some bars started to offer a lot of food to attract customers. Until we get to the "apericena", you don't have dinner after that!

[@waysoftheworld_]

Ah, okay. I like it when they offer more food 😂 we'll have to return to Italy for the apericena. Totally missed out on that one!

I think it is only in Northern Italy that they use Bechamel sauce instead of ricotta. Let me know if I am wrong.

the aperitif is used to whet the appetite. So they don't give you much to eat. With the aperitif you prepare for lunch.

Conflict of Generations + Inflation = Recession on Manners and its originally afferent generosity. The least we forget--and this is a commentary that should include for me to underline that I will turn 70 toward the end of this very year- when I was a kid, Italy practiced its own 'Tapas' culture, where, if you were a regular in 'starred' establishments, your habits being known, during aperitivo time the cart of 'antipasti' was rolled to your table-side, and service would ensue accordingly... When I was an adolescent young man, and you were invited for dinner by family, which included local aristocracy, which today has been replaced with what is called A-listers, several dishes would also appear, yet --depending of spending patterns, the 'host' in your party would have to 'awaken' this generosity pattern by ordering not so much the 'antipasti', but the hors d'oeuvres' dishes--most often a series of pasta samplers, which would have the effect to see a restaurant owner offer the antipasti, making the 'aperitivo' time way more exciting. P.S.: also the presence of very well dressed [or extremely elegant ladies in your party, would further dynamize the enthusiasm of a restaurant management to reach an almost celebratory mood around your party, which in turn would create a sort of 'advertising' force influencing tables around to spend more and --often- gain the same attention you benefitted from... But, remember' times have changed, and ... OK... I leave to your imagination to fill the blanks... Enjoy... Italy, no matter what, remains an idyllic place were surprises can still be very elegant!
