I spent six days in Bologna looking for the best ragu in town. So many restaurants, so little time. It was an unscientific process. Read books, talk to people, decide where to go, order the dish, taste it, savour it, savour it some more, savour it until dish is empty, repeat cycle.
I never really expected a winner.
But there was one. Hands down. Gramigna alla salsiccia by the inimitable Gabriel at
Trattoria Meloncello, via Saragossa 240/a, Bologna 40135
This review gives you a feel for the place.
This photograph, by Alessandro Guerani, gives you a feel for what gramigna alla salsiccia looks like. [Incidentally, do visit his flickr pages and food blog. They're worth it.]
Meloncello is a Macarthur restaurant. I’ll be back.

Hi JP,
The four links in the second-to-last paragraph all go to the same place. Deliberate?
Thanks Declan. My bad. I didn’t notice, corrected now.
