Our pick of restaurants was Sfoglia Rina which served the most impressive tortelloni we had in Bologna.

Sfoglia Rina

I love Sfoglia Rina for a number of reasons:

• They make their own fresh pasta.
• They only serve pasta and desserts, so it’s ideal if you don’t want an epic multi-course meal.
• They are open all day until 8 pm so you can eat outside the usual strict Italian mealtimes.
• It’s good value as there’s no cover charge and water is free (very rare in Italy).
• The space is cool and modern with unusual lampshades and tables decorated with pots of fresh herbs.
• It’s casual—the menu is on a blackboard and you write your table number and order on the notepad and give it to the waiter then pay afterwards at the till.
