An “aurora nel bosco” at Caffé Zanarini in Bologna, Italy (Karen Kearby)
Considered by many to be the culinary capital of Italy, Bologna is a food-lover’s destination. Visit a salumeria, or Italian deli, along the Via Pescherie Vecchia where the medieval market vibe is still strong. Many delis offer small seating areas and plates for sampling meats and cheeses. Later, be sure to try some of the local Tagliatella a Ragú, whose meat-filled tomato sauce is known around the world as the eponymous Bolognese sauce.
Bologna also offers many pastry shops perfect for an afternoon break, or aperitivo, to sample the sweets and sip a glass of local Pignoletto wine. Our spotlight photo was submitted by Karen Kearby after enjoying an “aurora nel bosco” at Caffé Zanarini in the Piazza Galvini. This incredible dessert is primarily a rich dark chocolate bavarois custard with a tangy, fruity jelly center made from forest berries.
