Founded in 1465, the Osteria del Sole is one of the oldest taverns in Italy and a beloved Bologna institution hidden down a lane in the Quadrilatero. It serves only wine, with no food menu, so regulars bring their own provisions from the surrounding market stalls to enjoy at its long communal tables. Boisterous, unpretentious and steeped in history, it offers a uniquely local experience of eating, drinking and socialising the Bolognese way.
