Franco Rossi, Restaurant, Bologna

Italians like to say "come una volta", referring to good old times when everything was just better, food included. Franco Rossi is one of the rare examples who still cling to the excellency of the past.

This busy traditional restaurant is perfect for someone looking to be fully immersed into the Italian ambiance with no tourists around and neither a menu in English. The old Italian owner possesses a natural talent for creating a unique customer experience, going around the tables, winking and making jokes like he probably has been doing for several decades.

American writer John Grisham has mentioned Franco Rossi in his bestseller "The Broker," so that it has become almost obligatory to try the Broker-menu for any thriller-lover in Bologna.
