Ristorante Diana
Bologna, Italy
The read// why locals go
Ristorante Diana has served traditional Bolognese cooking on Via dell'Indipendenza since 1909, and remains the city's grand old dining room. The kitchen holds the classical repertoire to the standard Bologna expects: cotoletta alla bolognese, the veal cutlet layered with ham and Parmigiano, and tortelloni made the way the city's food culture dictates rather than the way that would be faster. The room is formal in the older sense and the service is the practised kind, with a clientele of families and professionals who have been booking across generations. Mains around €30. This is the restaurant Bologna uses when the occasion asks for one.
