Osteria Del Sole
Restaurant
About this hidden gem
A traditional osteria in Bologna where you bring your own food and only pay for what you drink.
Why you really want to visit this spot
Inside, it’s not about the menu, but the atmosphere. Pick up something from a deli round the corner – such as cheese, cold cuts or focaccia – and take a seat at one of the long wooden tables. Order a glass of wine and join the locals. The buzz, the full glasses and the lack of rules create a relaxed atmosphere. Nobody bats an eyelid at people bringing their own food. That’s precisely what makes it so enjoyable: simple, sociable and hassle-free.
This is how they (and you) make a difference
- No kitchen: guests bring their own food, which reduces waste
- Local drinks: a focus on regional wines and beverages
- Shared tables: fostering connections between visitors
- Historic site: a long-standing meeting place in the city for centuries
