I'm pleased to present you a culinary moment from our visit to Bologna with my wife. After seeing the sights in the area, we were already very hungry and decided to sit down in a nice restaurant that was themed for this place and was located in the inner streets of the city.

We looked at the menu and decided to try some of these traditional small Italian breads, called tigelle. They were round, flat breads, about 10 cm in diameter. They were traditionally baked on special ceramic discs or cast iron plates, although nowadays electric appliances are often used for convenience. They were cut in half and can be filled with sausages, cheeses, garlic and rosemary.

Our meal was accompanied by several bowls of nuts, raisins, and olives :)

To quench our thirst, we ordered something refreshing, namely two Negroni cocktails, which is a classic Italian aperitif drink. It is made from equal parts gin, red vermouth, and Campari, served over ice and garnished with a slice of red orange. It had a slightly bittersweet taste.
