The Due Torri, Bologna

Chapter 7: Entrées — Beef, Pork & Veal

Location: Bologna — The Due Torri

The Due Torri, Bologna’s two leaning medieval towers, have watched over the city’s markets since the twelfth century — long before “la grassa” (the fat one) became its nickname for a cuisine built on rich, unapologetic cooking.

This is red-sauce, slow-braised Italy: lasagna, osso buco, bolognese, a steak marinated in nothing more than good olive oil and herbs. Ten dishes that don’t ask permission to be indulgent, adapted here to stay keto without losing that identity.
