Cabala Cafe

Cabala Café has become one of my favourite spots to enjoy an aperitivo after a long day. Conveniently located just a stone throw away from I Due Torri and housing a plush array of sofa seating indoors and a pretty exterior area too, Cabala Café is the place to be. The interior could easily be mistook for the set of an Ikea advertisement, with its vibrant red walls, wooden bookshelves sprawled with old type-writers, glossy magazines and stout houseplants, and modern artwork that graces every wall. But this modern décor shouts chic and retro, appealing to the cosmopolitan people of Bologna. You will find yourself sinking into a cosy armchair and preparing for an evening of mingling, eating and drinking.

Of course there is a reason why this bar has crafted an impressive reputation for itself amongst locals and visitors alike. Indeed, the aperitivo at Cabala Café is worth every centime. For just six euros you can enjoy a delightful cocktail and a good quality buffet; a buffet that ticks every box of traditional Italian light-dining. You will find everything from antipasti, ranging from a selection of olives to traditional Italian meats, to couscous, rice and pasta dishes freshly prepared that day. Friday and Saturday nights will see the bar bursting at the seams with people wanting to enjoy a refreshing cocktail or good quality vino and a superb choice of foods, and can you really blame them? Just one visit to Cabala Café and you’ll already be planning your next visit.

Cabala Café encapsulates Italian chicness and the modern outlook of one of Italy’s oldest medieval cities. Its central location, relaxing atmosphere and excellent food and drink makes it an all-round winner.
