Ahime In Bologna

Perhaps our expectations were a little high given the restaurant's Michelin-starred status, but we found it to be average. The tasting menu was nice, but we didn't really like the fact that the tagliatelle were served on a single plate rather than two separate ones (which is more suitable for a couple, less so for friends). Overall, the dishes are expertly executed; the roasted leek is excellent, and the portions are reasonable. The bread and fennel butter are good. The wine list is a bit niche; it would be helpful to add a few simpler options. Friendly staff. The coffee is a bit burnt.

This is a small restaurant with a touch of Scandinavia. The portions are small, like tapas, and it's not a typical Italian three-course meal, so you need to order more. The dishes are also quite creative.

Nice atmosphere, good service. The food is good, but nothing spectacular, especially considering the above-average prices.

Very delicate dishes with a particular taste but which are still not overwhelming and suitable for everyone

If you want to go to Ahimè, you'll need to be patient, as booking on the weekend requires a lot of time. The high demand is undoubtedly due to the attention to detail in every dish and the limited seating. The tasting menu was a pleasant discovery; the dish I'd liked least that evening after a few days is the one that reminds me of the experience. I found the waitress who served us to be thorough and courteous, but I have some complaints about the sommelier service: we'd chosen wine pairings, and most of the glasses were served quickly and coldly. Even more annoying, the couple sitting next to us at the convivial table, who had also chosen pairings, drank from glasses of a higher quality than the ones they served us (low-quality glasses). I understand why people want to use the best glasses for those who choose high-end bottles, but that wasn't the case here. From restaurants that set themselves up to be of a certain caliber, I wasn't expecting such carelessness.

I simply went with the chef’s selection, a daily menu built entirely around the freshest local ingredients available that day. You can really taste the connection between the kitchen and local farmers and producers.

Perfect if you want something different from the standard Bologna fare. Wonderfully inventive small plates, good wine selection and attentive service. I'll go back every time I'm in Bologna!

A very flavorful meal. The wines were original. Friendly service. The waiter spoke good French.

Good meal, feels very farm to table. Sourdough was fabulous with the butter. Rly enjoyed the ravioli. The lettuce was also a standout I liked the crunchy vegetable paired with the crunch of nuts. Duck was just okay lacking flavour and also kind of on the raw side. Dessert was simple very light which I appreciated.

Incredibly tasty menu, every part of it was on point and beautifully created. The wine pairing was also nice and went well with the courses. It's a small, but cosy place it modern design is your thing. The price for the 5-course menu is unbeatable and the experience was as good as it get's. Creative, delicious and always with a nod to Italian tradition. Highyl recommended!
