Eating My Way Through Italy: The Happy Diabetic Style. Taking the slow road to Discover the Hidden Treasures of the Italian Mediterranean Dinner Table
https://www.sfogliarina.it/en/
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.
