Join us for a street food adventure through the city’s tastiest corners, where Emilia-Romagna’s rich culinary heritage meets the sizzling energy of the streets and markets. This isn’t just a food tour, it’s a fully immersive cultural experience!

The Streaty Bologna Street Food Tour is crafted for pro foodies who crave the real deal: regional flavors, local drinks, and an unfiltered taste of Bolognese life. We’ll kick things off with an immersive Bologna market tour through the iconic Mercato delle Erbe, Bologna’s beating heart of fresh produce and authentic street eats. You will learn about the market’s history and locals’ shopping habits. Guess what? you will eat as well! You’ll discover traditional street foods that most tourists never get to taste, like the rustic crescione—a folded, pan-crisped pastry filled with herbs, cheese, or cured meats—and the beloved tigelle, those warm little bread disks stuffed with local specialties. But it doesn’t stop there: we also serve up modern takes on regional classics, like the irresistible tortellino fritto served with silky Parmigiano cream for dipping. All strictly local and outrageously tasty.

Expect lots of tastings, plenty of regional drinks, and zero tourist traps. The food tour Bologna has been designed for the curious and hungry foodies who want to eat like locals and learn the stories behind every bite. Indeed, this is not just a food tour! Streaty guides will also share facts and stories about the city and its inhabitants. If this isn’t the best food tour in Bologna yet, it is definitely destined to be!

Rule #1: on Streaty food tours you only eat regional bites. So if your plan is to drink spritz and eat random pizza to fill your instagram profile, this is not your tour. On our food tour Bologna, you’ll finally taste real local flavors, maybe new to you, but old and authentic to Bolognese people. The Streaty Bologna street food tour offers a mix of traditional and creative tastings: classics like aged Parmigiano in different stages of aging, iconic street food like crescione or erbazzone, and modern twists like the irresistible fried tortellini with Parmigiano cream, charcuterie and more local specialties 🙂 As a dessert You will get to try the Bolognese mascarpone paired with a traditional licor.
