Salumeria Simoni
A traditional deli in the Quadrilatero district, where freshly sliced mortadella sandwiches and cold cut platters are popular choices for a quick lunch in the old town.
A traditional deli located on Via Drapperie in the historic Quadrilatero district, selling mortadella, various Emilian cold cuts, and Parmigiano-Reggiano. Visitors can grab a sandwich or a platter for a quick meal. The same family also runs Laboratorio on Via Pescherie Vecchie, which is better suited for a sit-down meal. Due to long street queues and crowded seating during peak hours, visiting on weekday mornings or during off-peak hours is recommended. Sandwiches cost around 6 to 9 EUR (some sources note no updated prices are posted), and platters range from 8 to 15 EUR.
