Vecchia Scuola Bolognese
Bologna, Italy
The read// why locals go
Vecchia Scuola Bolognese is a hand-rolled pasta school on Via Malvasia that also feeds Bologna at midday. The sfoglia is made fresh each morning, by hand and in view — here the teaching and the cooking are the same activity — and what comes off it is tagliatelle, tortellini and lasagne in the shapes the city considers correct. The meal is deliberately plain: pasta, salad, a glass of wine, around €14. It draws people who care about technique and people who simply want the best plate of pasta within walking distance, which in Bologna is a crowded category. The value is unusual even by local standards.
