Hello Foodies!
Tour de Forks is about to start its first tour to Emilia Romagna so there will be lots to report. Consider us your official source for Bologna! I arrived around lunchtime and tonight is the night before our tour's official beginning. I found a fabulous place for apperitivi. A wonderful custom where you order a drink and the bar serves wonderful food. It's similar to a happy hour in the U.S. but a thousand times better.
We are staying at the Hotel Corona d'Oro and as I wandered to find a place to get a bite to eat, I saw a fabulous bar just around the corner called Bar Bistro Cocoa on 14-A Via Altabila. I ordered a vino bianco from Sicily which was perfect. They served a yummy shaved fennel salad (divine), a baby arugula salad with large white beans, then all types of bread from piadina to toast covered with fennel, bean dips, and cheese & cured meat toppings. This place had a lot of style and the staff were welcoming and fun. If you're ever in Bologna, stop and have a glass of wine and a nibble, it's just what you do there!
Enjoy,
the Forks
