Pasta Fresca – Bologna (Italy) en
Summary
A pasta place like they used to be: pasta of the day cooked by a mama of a respectable age, and it’s another that takes the orders. Lots of students, but not only, super authentic, and not expensive!
The backstory
Here are the comments some locals had written for me:
“So you have to take VIA DEL PRATELLO from the end of Via Ugo Bassi and walk straight looking all the time at your right side: you will see, around the civic number 78, a kind of shop that is not exactly a Restaurant, but a “PASTA FRESCA” shop with an affiche that explains the different kind of pasta they will prepare that day: the price is really low and the quality is genuine, you will see a lot of people making queue on there; after you can eat on some big table in the street there, set for this use!!”
“For some traditional dishes I suggest you a very small place to grab some quick delicious pasta in Via del Pratello 71/A, you can take-away very delicious tortellini and lasagne!”
The venue
It’s a small space, everyone waits for their pasta container.
We don’t really eat here, people go elsewhere to eat. That being said, I stayed and ate there.
The team
The lady that takes the order is very nice.
At first I was intimidated by her, especially since I wanted to ask her 2-3 questions and there were people around.
She’s probably been dealing with students forever as well as a lot of people at once, so no funny business.
But she’s adorable. When I left, she asked me what I thought of my pasta, I thought they were good but not hot enough, she told me I should have mentioned it and didn’t charge for the bottle of water. I noticed that in Italy, they often don’t charge for the bottle of water.
The meal
I took the pasta of the day, the ones with Fagioli ( beans), we never see this in France.
The picture isn’t really appetizing, but they were goof, the only problem was that they could have been hotter, but I could have mentioned it like the lady told me.
The other thing that was a bit annoying was that the tin foil that closed the container ripped badly.
Otherwise, it stays a super good deal to discover authentic pasta in an authentic spot: even in Italy I didn’t see that many such as this.
The verdict
Good spot!
