Safety in Certain Areas
Luckily, my apartment is in a safe area of Bologna. However, if you plan on going out to the center or near the train station at night, I would recommend always traveling in groups and on main streets, especially after midnight.

How to Choose a Restaurant
Every great restaurant in Italy has a specialty that they make incredibly tasty. The rest of their food is not on the same level. So, I recommend going to the restaurant which specializes in whatever you’re craving that day, and sticking to that dish.
