About this spot
Nippon Ramen brings authentic Japanese street food vibes to Bologna's historic Quadrilatero, serving slurp-worthy tonkotsu broth and fluffy takoyaki that feel worlds away from the city's famous ragù. The compact space buzzes with energy as locals queue for bowls of chashu pork and miso soup that are far superior to typical tourist traps.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order a side of gyoza immediately to pair with your hot broth bowl.
