MIRASOLE, BOLOGNA - WORLD'S BEST OSTERIA

I have done several shoots in the wonderful city of Bologna, the ‘Belly of Italy’, but none better than at the Mirasole, a short train journey from the city centre.

Bologna is famous for Mortadella, Lasagne, Bolognaise and also for snails, plus many other dishes. Parma,is the home of Parmesan & Procuitto is also very close

I love all the plates dishes and wacky ice bucket.
