Chinese by origin,Bolognese at heart.

We're two sisters raised in the world of hospitality. On a quiet street in the heart of Bologna, among many familiar places, we opened our own. For the first time, something that truly feels like us.

The Bao Bros window on Via Nazario Sauro, the name arched across the glass and, behind it, the counter with its bamboo steamers.
The bead curtain at the door, BAO BROS spelled in red on cream, between the apricot wall and the dark red dado.
A corner of the garden, with pale chairs, a small table, a lamp and chopsticks.

It's not a finished recipe.

A softer dough, a more precise fold, a filling found after many tries. Every day we work on what we do. It's all still moving. Luckily.

Two hands pull a grilled bao open over a small ceramic dish, with dill and sesame.
Beef being trimmed in the kitchen, the Bao Bros mascot printed on the cook's T-shirt, bamboo steamers beside it.
Our meat comes from Macelleria Zivieri.

Soft, steamyand seriously good.
