This is a busy market and foodie area just to the east of Piazza Maggiore where you find several narrow streets lined with fresh food produce dealers, fishmongers, green grocers, salumeria, cheese shops, wine bars, many casual eateries and market buildings with food and drinks which you can enjoy while hanging out with friends or family. You can also pick up nice food items here that you can enjoy back in your hotel or apartment. If you have kitchen facility, can be enjoyable to prepare a bit of food from the shops and vendors that line the streets of Quadrilatero.

This area in Bologna is close to Piazza Maggiore. The Quadrilatero experience was something that we enjoyed. Many typical shops of Bologna such as Salumerias, Fish stalls, Artisan homemade pasta and more. It was not that crowded and hence we could enjoy this experience much better. Will surely recommend this hidden gem in Bologna

This is a neighborhood near Piazza Maggiore where you will find many of the major towers. There are lots of shops, cafes, and restaurants. It is named the Quadrilateral because it is a rectangle bounded on four sides by Via Farina, Via Castiglione, Via Rizzoli and Via dell'Archiginnasio. We visited on a Sunday morning and found people enjoying the cafes and purchasing food and flowers at a streets market. We went back in the evening, and it was jammed with people out enjoying a light dinner.
