Agricola e Vitale In Bologna

Exceptional fried appetizers and excellent first courses. Recommended.

We discovered it by chance, and it was all delightful. From the food—we tried the traditional lasagna and the vegetable lasagna, both very good and well-prepared—to the impeccable and friendly service. The outdoor tables overlooking the little square were also very pleasant.

Very pleasant place, decent food and good prices. Attentive staff, charming establishment.

The food was very good, but nothing extraordinary. I would have liked to give the service 5 stars for its friendliness, but unfortunately we had to wait a really long time for our food. The place is very welcoming, perhaps better for an aperitif or after-dinner drink.

I highly recommend this place. It's truly delightful. The staff is incredibly friendly. The dishes are delicious, both traditional Bolognese and Italian. The tortellini in broth are something I'll never forget.

My boyfriend and I stopped by chance for a pre-lunch aperitif. The Negroni was delicious, thanks to the bartender's skills. We read the menu since it was already 12 o'clock and decided to have lunch there. It was a great choice. Typical Bolognese cuisine...we ordered the balanzoni, the tortellini, the cotoletta alla bolognese, and as an off-menu item, they had a delicious polenta with cod!!! We'll be back!!!

Fantastic staff. We had a wonderful evening! Special thanks to Tizian!!

Beautiful place, good food, typical Bolognese fare for sampling local delicacies. Good service and friendly, attentive staff. Recommended.

One of the absolute best lunches I’ve ever had. What started as a quick stop for a drink turned into an unforgettable meal. From the outside, the place looks like a simple wine bar, but once you walk through the curtains at the back, you discover a really cool, unexpected dining space that instantly sets the tone. We initially ordered beers, and they were served with little snacks like taralli, peanuts, and chips — such a nice touch. Because it was raining, we decided to stay for lunch… and I’m so glad we did. Must-order dishes: • The lasagna bolognese — rich, comforting, and perfectly done. • La tagliata di Irlanda con patate al forno — an absolute must. The meat was incredible, cooked beautifully, and paired perfectly with the roasted potatoes. We also had the dish of the day, a polenta with baccalà. It’s not always on the menu, but it was an excellent extra touch — comforting, flavorful, and a perfect complement to everything else we ordered. We also shared a bottle of Livruni Primitivo, which I highly recommend if you’re having meat. It was absolutely delicious — not too dry, not too sweet, perfectly balanced, with no heavy aftertaste. A really excellent red wine. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to take any pictures because my phone died midway through the meal — which says a lot in itself, because we were too busy enjoying every bite. The service deserves a special mention. I didn’t catch our server’s name, but she was an absolute delight — courteous, funny, quirky, and incredibly attentive. She made us feel welcome from start to finish and truly elevated the entire experience. What was supposed to be a quick drink turned into one of the best lunches I’ve ever had. Amazing food, great wine, outstanding service, and a place full of pleasant surprises. Highly, highly recommended.

We went to this wonderful place because a friend recommended it. What can I say? We ate very well... generous portions... wonderful service (the waitresses are really good and always smiling), the owner is fantastic and very helpful. In fact, we went back the next day for lunch. I highly recommend it.
