Osteria
An ''osteria'' () in Italy was originally a place serving wine and simple food. Lately, the emphasis has shifted to the food, but menus tend to be short, with the emphasis on local specialities such as pasta and grilled meat or fish, often served at shared tables. ''Osterie'' tend to be cheap, and they also focus on after work and evening refreshment. ''Osterie'' vary greatly in practice: some only serve drinks and clients are allowed to bring in their own food, others have retained a predominantly male clientele, while still others have reached out to students and young professionals. Some provide music and other entertainment. Similar to osterie are ''bottiglierie'', where customers can take a bottle or flask to be re-filled from a barrel, and '' enoteche'', which generally pride themselves on the range and quality of their wine. In Emilia-Romagna are located three of the oldest Italian ''osterie'': "Osteria del Sole" and " Osteria del Cappello" in Bologna, and "Osteria al Brind ...

Osteria Del Cappello
The "Osteria Del Cappello" (lit. Inn of the Hat) or "Al Cappello Rosso" (lit. to the Red Hat) is an osteria and it is one of the oldest inns in Bologna in Italy, and it is still active today as a hotel and as a restaurant serving food and drinks. It is located in Via de’ Fusari, near Piazza Maggiore. History The Bolognese historical archives, mention a "Hosteria del Cappello" in 1375. This Hosteria could have changed location many times until 1700. In fact the locations were not property of the host and, often, the symbol of the inn remained the same even though its location had changed. The current location of the Hostaria dates back to 1652, when host Domenico Simoncini decided to place the inn in Via de’ Fusari. The name comes from the sign: almost any kind of object, typically bells, keys, crowns, and hats (like in this case) could appear on a sign of an Italian tavern. The hat of this Osteria, decorated with ribbons, was clearly linked to the Church, since it could repres ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Trattoria
A trattoria is an Italian eatery, generally less formal than a ''ristorante'' () but more formal than an '' osteria''. A trattoria rooted in tradition, typically, is without a printed menu, with casual service, wine sold by the decanter rather than the bottle, low prices, and a menu of modest but plentiful offerings that follow regional and local recipes rather than ''haute cuisine''. Sometimes, food is served family-style, at common tables. Optionally, a trattoria may offer takeaway. This tradition has waned in recent decades. Many trattorie have taken on some of the trappings of a ''ristorante'', providing relatively few concessions to the old rustic and familial style. The name trattoria has also been adopted by some high-level restaurants. Etymology The word ''trattoria'' is cognate with the French term ''traiteur'' (a caterer providing takeaway food). Derived in Italian from , meaning 'to treat' (from the Latin /, 'to draw'), its etymology has also been linked to the La ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
