Polpette E Crescentine
About
Polpette e Crescentine is a quintessential Emilian trattoria located in the heart of Bologna. The warm, family‑friendly atmosphere is complemented by hand‑made pasta, a variety of signature polpette, and the famous crescentine—soft, buttery pastries perfect for dipping.

Friendly staff, cozy indoor seating, and a lovely outdoor terrace overlooking Piazza Aldrovandi make it a favorite stop for locals and visitors alike. The menu features traditional Bolognese classics such as ragù, lasagne, and specialty dishes with seasonal vegetables, along with an extensive drink selection of local wines, craft beers and spritz.
