Ahime In Bologna

went for the chef’s choice menu - creative dishes, really amazing taste, great serving

Amazing modern dining experience! Great wine list, incredible seasonal food. Went for lunch and had an wonderful experience. Fresh and fun with an open kitchen. Not the cheapest meal you can find in the city, but worth every penny! Great service that feels very elevated without any pretention.

As a solo traveler exploring Bologna, I stopped into Ahimè after making online reservations and was instantly struck by the warm, comforting atmosphere. I was seated at the counter, which was an ideal spot to observe the team in action. I immediately felt welcomed by the friendly staff and engaging chefs. I opted for the tasting menu, which came without a written guide, but I appreciated the element of surprise. The experience leaned into creativity and innovation, and while some dishes were thoughtful and flavorful, a few didn’t quite come together. For instance, the fava bean salad was overpowered by large, raw herb pieces, and the duck dish featured roasted nuts that lacked finesse or clear technique. That said, the sommelier was a standout—deeply knowledgeable and passionate, offering detailed insights into their impressive selection of unique and carefully curated wines. His thoughtful pairings added a lot to the overall experience. He was even kind enough to recommend a list of local restaurants for me! Ahimè feels like a fresh, youthful take on fine dining, and while not every dish landed perfectly, the overall vibe and creativity make it a solid option—especially for travelers seeking a modern, local tasting experience in Bologna. I’d happily return with adjusted expectations, knowing I’d be in for a relaxed and engaging evening.

It was alright plus… I see the vision, but they aren’t there yet. Some dishes didn’t land, some are confusing. The roasted salad was great. Expected more.

I had the pleasure of having lunch at this restaurant recently, and everything was absolutely perfect from start to finish. From the moment you walk in, the place captivates with its contemporary and refined decor, both warm and elegant. The delicate and carefully crafted tableware fully contributes to the visual experience. The atmosphere is calm, conducive to tasting, and the service, both professional and friendly, contributes to a feeling of comfort without ever being over the top. The food is resolutely modern, inventive, and delicious. Each dish is a small masterpiece, as beautiful as it is delicious. The sourdough bread served with juniper butter was a wonderful opening. The fava beans, peas, and wild herbs made for a very fresh vegetable starter. The dish made with fennel, milk, and bread surprises with its originality and subtlety. The pork ravioli were tender and perfectly balanced. Special mention goes to the duck breast with sweet peppers and almonds: a dish both delicious and refined. The dessert: apple, vanilla, and popcorn offered a playful yet delicate touch, followed by a light orange sorbet and Italian meringue. Flawless. A highly recommended place for lovers of meticulous contemporary cuisine, where every detail counts. I will definitely return.

If the seating were more comfortable and a sommelier were present, they would deserve two stars. The food is outstanding, and the wine very good.

This is by far the best place to eat in Bologna. P.S. Very comfortable outdoor bench.

Welcoming place with special offers.

Restaurante pequeño, minimalista, con una Iluminación que lo hace muy acogedor. Esta situado justo al lado del Mercato delle Erbe. Tiene una pequeña barra frente a la cocina, que es el lugar que escogimos porque nos encantan las barras. Ademas de entretenerte mientras preparan los platos, el servicio es muy rapido. La carta tiene pocos platos, pero suficientes ya que todo esta muy bueno. Servicio excelente y precio medio. Muy recomendable. Imprescindible reservar

Piccolo ristorante gradevole, a pranzo ho trovato una carta un po ridotta, ho trovato le ostriche del delta, che erano eccezionali, petto d’anatra notevole e cottura perfetta.
