Lamborghini Urus rental and typical cuisine in Bologna: the true essence of the city

The new Lamborghini Urus SUV is the perfect car to experience the most authentic atmosphere of the charming capital of Bologna.

Your journey of discovery through Bologna on the rented Lamborghini Urus can only start from the table, among the traditional dishes and flavours whose fame has become legendary. Between salami and fresh pasta, the products of the gastronomic tradition of Bologna and Emilia have become the most beloved symbols of Italian cuisine in the world. But what to eat in Bologna? Here are our tips for a delicious gastronomic tour of true Italian flavours, including top-quality raw materials and secrets handed down from generation to generation:

• Mortadella, also known as the Pink Queen, is perhaps the best-known symbol of typical cuisine in Bologna. Be wary of imitations and taste the real mortadella in one of the typical restaurants in the historic centre, preferably accompanied by a slice of bread and a good glass of Pignoletto, the wine known as the King of the Bolognese hills.
• The crescentine, perfect as an appetiser or for an aperitif with friends: this is a fried dough made from flour, salt, water, yeast, milk and lard. Pair them with a board of local cured meats and cheeses for an explosion of all-Italian flavour.
• Tortellini are the undisputed protagonists of typical cuisine in Bologna. Legend has it that their shape was inspired by none other than the navel of the goddess Venus. In Emilia, you can taste the real traditional tortellini, made inimitable by the soft and tasty filling, the very thin sheet of pasta, strictly closed by hand, and the broth prepared according to grandmothers' recipes.
• The ragù alla Bolognese, which needs no introduction: it is not possible to pass through Bologna with your rented Lamborghini Urus and not taste at least one type of fresh pasta seasoned with ragù. From tagliatelle to lasagne, through strichetti and tortellini, it's up to you, but you will not be disappointed.
• Lasagne: about ragù, real Bolognese lasagna is a sublime layered assemblage of egg pasta, béchamel sauce, Parmesan cheese and ragù.Forget the extravagant versions of this dish which can be found around the world, because the original can only be enjoyed among the typical dishes of Bologna. Let yourself be seduced by its inimitable flavour forkful after forkful.
• Friggione: a legendary sauce revered by all the Bolognese, and not only, prepared with very few ingredients but with great care and skill. Peeled tomatoes, white onions, salt and sugar and a slow, delicate cooking process that will make any dish of typical Bologna cuisine with which you pair friggione unforgettable.
• Cotoletta alla Bolognese, also known as "Petroniana" after the city's patron saint: the taste explosion of this dish is given by first cooking it in lard, followed by a second cooking in the oven to roast the ham and melt the cheese that accompany this icon of Bolognese cuisine.
• Rice cake: baked with rice cooked in milk, it is a delicate and fragrant dessert that tastes like a Bolognese tradition dating back to the 1500s. It is impossible to eat in Bologna and end the culinary experience without tasting this piece of history that still lives on tables all over the city.
