Cobblestones warm beneath a January sun, steaming espresso punctuates the morning and the arcades breathe a hush between clinking plates — this is Bologna on foot. The guided food walk threads through narrow streets and marketplace alleys, where cured meats hang like local heraldry and fresh pasta is shaped at counters visible from the street. The guide leads small groups to four carefully chosen stops: a board of salumi and tigelle, a steaming bowl of tortellini in brodo or tagliatelle al ragù, a rich cotoletta alla Bolognese, and a brazadela finished with a pulled espresso.
