Antica Salsamenteria Tamburini

The landmark deli on the corner of Via Drapperie

HistoricIconic

The story

The most photographed shop window in Bologna: prosciutti hanging from the ceiling, wheels of Parmigiano and trays of fresh pasta. Salsamentari have traded on this corner since the 1800s, and the Tamburini name has been here since 1932. It makes its own mortadella, has a self-service lunch counter, serves salumi boards and runs an aperitivo. It is historic and very popular, so expect crowds.

🍽️ What to order
