About this audio guide
This guide to Anna Maria Trattoria in Bologna traces how a woman slicing sandwiches on Via delle Belle Arti in the 1980s started rolling out her grandmother's tagliatelle on the side, until one customer talked her into swapping the sandwich counter for a trattoria built on old farmyard Bolognese cooking. It follows the dishes she settled on, tortellini simmered in capon broth, rabbit, roast guinea fowl, and how word spread from the opera house down the street until singers, musicians and eventually film stars filled its tight-packed tables. Look up at the framed photographs still crowding the walls above you.
