Bologna on your plate, every day.
An osteria in the heart of the city, inside a historic building, where Emilian tradition feels like home and hospitality is always warm.
The osteria
On Via delle Moline, just a few steps from the center of Bologna, there is a place where time slows down. Le Moline is an osteria that brings the Bologna of always back to the table: handmade fresh pasta, warm tigelle montanare, platters of cured meats and cheeses from the region.
We are open every day of the year, from 12:00 until midnight, with the kitchen always on. Because good food doesn't watch the clock: some come in for lunch, others for an aperitivo, others for a dinner that stretches long between conversation and a good glass of wine.
The history of the place
Le Moline holds a piece of old Bologna. Between its walls, on two floors, an ancient well still survives: a detail that tells of centuries past and gives the venue a rustic, authentic soul that cannot be imitated.
We chose to make this history the heart of the experience. Stone, wood, warm light: everything invites you to sit down and feel part of a place that lasts through time.
The kitchen
Here we cook tradition, every day. Tagliatelle al ragù, lasagne alla bolognese with green pasta sheets rolled by hand, tortellini in broth or in Parmigiano cream, tortelloni and balanzoni: the great classics of the Emilian table, prepared with handmade fresh pasta and selected ingredients from the region.
Alongside, the handmade tigelle montanare, the platters of cured meats and cheeses, the cotoletta alla bolognese and the homemade desserts, from tiramisù to zuppa inglese. Our wines all come from small producers, with organic whites: choices made with care, one bottle at a time.
We don't charge a cover and we don't serve bread: in its place we have our tigelle, the Bolognese bread we make by hand. Generous portions, artisan preparations, no shortcuts. Discover more about our traditional Bolognese cuisine.
