Agriturismo Granoantico In Bologna

Really nice restaurant! Excellent first courses, delicious tigelle and cheeses, and desserts too. Super friendly waiters and a great location. The only drawback is the parking, but everything else is great!

Excellent dishes with a remarkable location

The outdoor setting is very nice, but perhaps the decor could use a little updating (simple and poorly maintained). The cold cuts aren't exceptionally flavorful, but the crescentine (soft and not very greasy) get a special mention. The staff is helpful, friendly, and present among the tables. The cutlet is very good and huge. The prices are very fair for the area where the restaurant is located.

Very nice atmosphere, spectacular view, quality food, excellent service.

very nice characteristic place in the hills of Bologna good food local good and kind staff

Review update: I returned yesterday and can confirm the quality of the dishes and the excellent service. My only complaint about the Granoantico platter: despite being a "double," the portions of side dishes (friggione, squacquerone, etc.) seemed rather limited. It's still a place I'd happily recommend. A lovely spot in the hills of Bologna, offering traditional dishes and good-quality daily specials. The desserts are neither excellent nor laudable. The service is decent. The only downside is the medium-high prices, probably justified by the location.

We visited this agriturismo with friends for dinner. The atmosphere is welcoming, simple, and well-kept, with a beautiful location in the hills surrounding Bologna. We shared a granoantico platter, which was priced for two, with tigelle and crescentine. It was good, but the sauces and toppings were a bit sparse. Only after requesting an extra, which was about to be charged, did we point this out, and they brought our requested items without any extra charge. The tagliatelle with ragù was a bit dry, but it wasn't bad. The maccheroncini with speck and friggione were better, even though the speck was covered in friggione. For our main course, a Cotoletta alla Bolognese was not bad either, but the cream cheese wasn't the best. Desserts, cheesecake with red berries and tenerina with mascarpone, all homemade, delicious. Fast and helpful service. Prices are also low for a hillside location, except for the platter, which I found a bit pricey and not very generous overall (€24 each, so €48, with some cured meats and a small bowl with only 5 tigelle and 5 crescentine).

Evening with friends with crescentine, cold cuts And more. A quiet evening, the staff was on point. I recommend it.

The location is definitely beautiful and charming, but it's not enough to make up for the rather poor service (lots of young people who don't know their way around, and orders are handled haphazardly, with the risk of waiting an hour between courses. They definitely lack someone to coordinate the dining room with the kitchen) and the food, which I found to be of lower quality than other times I've been. The Bolognese cutlet was a no-no; it was tasty, but it was tough as a stick!

Limited selection, standard fare, good tagliatelle, but I didn't appreciate the charcuterie or cheese platter. I also found it expensive for the quality, but the waiters were very friendly. It was busy, obviously popular, and it's in a nice location.
