WHERE TO EAT The best Tortellini in the world (according to food experts)
1
Recommended by Lonely Planet and 15 other food critics.
"At this Bologna institution truly worthy of the name, owners Daniele and Valeria lavish attention on every table between trips to the kitchen for plates of culatello di Zibello ham, tortellini in capon broth, Petroniana-style veal cutlets (breaded and fried, then topped with Parma ham and parmigiano reggiano and pan-sauteed in broth) and other Slow Food delights."

"The genial signora Anna Maria looks and acts like the archetypal Italian mamma and has been serving the finest tortellini in brodo in Bologna for 26 years now in her marvelous trattoria."

"Next came a very special version of tortellini in brodo. The tortellini, with a filling that’s one-third mortadella, one-third prosciutto, and one-third pork, are much smaller than usual...and swim, of course, in a beautiful capon-beef broth."

"Perfect little tortellini are stuffed with pork loin, prosciutto, mortadella, parmigiano-reggiano and egg, and served floating in a rich broth. Give it a whirl at Bottega dei Portici in Bologna."

"The tortellini in brodo from Sfoglia Rina are excellent, and you also have to try those with zabaione di parmigiano."

"Making much more impact was the utterly classic tortellini in brodo—Bologna’s killer small dumplings (maybe 50 to a portion), stuffed with meat, served in a golden broth made from capon (with some beef in the broth as well)."

"In the simple interior, where narrow beams of sun light sneak in through windows, the food you eat here will linger in the memory for years as one of the most wonderful meals you've ever had. Not just the light but substantial punch of tortellini in brodo."

"Instead of handing out a menu, my waitress verbally explained each dish being served that day, and I chose to start with a bowl of traditional tortellini soup. Drogheria della Rosa’s unpretentious atmosphere, high-quality service, reasonable prices and outstanding food make a visit during a stay in Bologna a must."

"The menu sticks strictly to Bolognese cuisine. If you haven't tasted the local tortellini in brodo, make this the place to try it."

"The tortellini brodo and light creamy mascarpone for dessert are dreamy."
