Ruggine is a hidden social gathering spot nestled in a small alley in central Bologna, occupying a space with deep history—formerly a 200-year-old carriage warehouse and later a bicycle repair shop. Since 2014, the venue has established itself as a refuge for locals seeking simple, sincere, and spontaneous hospitality. The carefully curated cocktail program pairs with genuine cuisine featuring contemporary touches, all crafted by its four Italian founders who treat patrons with the care afforded good friends. Beyond cocktails, Ruggine connects to a broader gastronomic project including ErreLab, a fresh pasta laboratory, and offers bar catering services.
