HOSTARIA LUISA In Minerbio

07/04/2024: Recommended by my best friend, an exceptional experience, it was a journey through the authentic flavors of Bologna. Staff very friendly and attentive to detail. Top dish: tortellini with parmesan cream, a delight. I will recommend it myself and will definitely return!

07/04/2024: The food (in particular tagliatelle Bolognese) was really very yummy, however the service was just so slow that it ruined the atmosphere. I am usually a fan of a relaxed serving pace, but we were sitting down for over 45 minutes before the starter/any food arrived at the table (other than bread), and another 30+ minutes after we had finished that before the mains. We watched as tables who had arrived after us had their entire meal before we ate at all. We arrived at 9:30 and didn't end up eating mains til 11pm. After the mains we were given the dessert menu, although almost everyone else had left, but nobody ever came to take the order so we paid up. The service itself was quite friendly, just not attentive. Also when we originally arrived at the restaurant, there was a queue (everyone had a reservation), which would have been fine but they did not serve people in the order of the queue, just in order of who was the most pushy. A lot of people who arrived after us were given tables (of the same size) before us, because we didn't want to be impolite. In general, prices were pretty good and the food was yummy. The decor was completely fine although not particularly inspired.
