ZanziBar Bologna

the cocktail-style coffee drinks here are worth your attention, particularly if you've grown tired of the same espresso rotation that follows you across every italian city. bologna moves at its own pace, and via d'azeglio reflects that, a quieter stretch that doesn't perform for tourists the way the streets around piazza maggiore tend to. zanzibar sits in that pocket comfortably. regulars here clearly keep coming back for a reason, and a place builds that kind of loyalty by getting the details right consistently, not occasionally. if you're in the area mid-morning, that's probably your window, before the lunch crowd shifts the whole rhythm of the street. order something cold if the season calls for it.
