Ranzani 13

Top choice in Bologna


Ditch the city centre and venture just outside Bologna's ring road to a distinctly unremarkable apartment block where one of the city's best craft-beer bars and gastropubs awaits. Twelve rotating taps (beers €3 to €6; good Belgian and Danish choices) complement a delectable selection of gourmet pizzas like Happy Pork (slow-cooked pork shoulder, burrata, basil and Parmesan) and more.

Reserve ahead online on weekends – despite its considerable size, tables here are a choice commodity. It's a 1.8km walk from Piazza Maggiore.
