The Mercato di Mezzo is one of the most representative historical places of the Bolognese food culture, a stone's throw from Piazza Maggiore: since the Middle Ages this has been the place of tastes and encounter, commerce, memory and gastronomic tradition of the city . Transformed, after the Unification of Italy, in the first covered market of the city, it was the object in 2014 of an important recovery and redevelopment project. The structure is divided into three floors, and is a space where to buy or consume food and wine products and excellent dishes. On the ground floor there are large and small tables in common use and food kiosks, placed in the side niches as in the nineteenth-century plan: meat, fish, salami, cheese, fruit, bread, pasta, ice cream and pastry, wines. On the first floor is the pizzeria and in the basement, with striking barrel vaults, a craft brewery, both with additional tables and chairs. On Via Clavature, next to the entrance to the Church of Santa Maria della Vita, it also offers pleasant tables and outdoor chairs. The Mercato di Mezzo is open seven days a week, from 8.30 until midnight, and often offers tasting appointments and meetings related to the culture of food.

In the heart of the Quadrilatero area, this is a gallery of stalls, most featuring a small kitchen, offering high quality foods. You will be able to choose between sandwiches with local salumi, tortellini & co., fresh seafood from the Adriatic Sea, freshly made bread, meats, cheese, wines, and pastry. Food can be eaten in or taken out. Full of tourists and popular also amongst the employees of the offices of this neighbourhood, it is packed at lunchtime. I find that this place is a bit chaotic and that the atmosphere does not allow for a relaxed gastronomic experience. Yet, the good aspect is that you find here on show the variety of the food products typical of Bologna's territory.
