About this spot
Tucked away in Bologna's historic Quadrilatero market quarter, Osteria della Lanterna serves classic regional dishes that feel like a warm hug from the city itself. You must try the green tagliatelle with wild boar ragù on weekends or the comforting potato soufflé with mortadella foam to understand why locals flock here. The menu balances rich truffle cream soups with sweet pistachio cakes, offering a perfect balance of savory and dessert in one visit.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the green tagliatelle with pheasant ragù only on weekends when it is available.
- Save room for the pumpkin flan with porcini mushrooms and speck before ordering the heavy veal cutlet.
- Ask your server to bring a glass of Lambrusco to cut through the richness of the mortadella foam.
