Al Ritrovo In Bologna

I've been to Al Ritrovo several times, and every time I return, the products are consistently better, and the staff is always super helpful and welcoming. They make you feel at home. The menus are always carefully curated and change frequently, which is a plus because it allows you to discover new, delicious flavors. Their Sicilian dishes are delicious, and it's hard to find such authentic flavors in Bologna and the surrounding area. I also recommend trying their aperitivo: exquisite drinks and tasty snacks that pair perfectly... and it's so conveniently located near the city center and, especially, the university, how could you say no!

Very qualified and kind staff, attentive to the customer

Delicious food, extremely kind and helpful staff. Highly recommended!

I went out with my friends to this restaurant. The meatballs were delicious and hearty.

I stumbled upon it last night by chance, and found this place to be truly charming. The staff and owner pampered me and my group, making us feel at home. We'll be back ❤️

Excellent first courses, with kind and professional staff.

I celebrated my specialization here with an aperitif with about twenty friends. The owners were very helpful (we could arrange various menus via WhatsApp), and the service was fast and organized, even providing a last-minute vegetarian option. The food was good, especially the gramigna cream and sausage. Prices are for all budgets. Highly recommended!

The restaurant is quite welcoming and informal; the service was adequately attentive; the food was reasonably good, even though the offerings were fairly standard (mini pizzas, chickpea farinata, cold cuts, fried vegetables, and chips), but we had been shown the menu before booking, and we knew what we were getting. Unfortunately, having booked for 13 and only 10 of us showing up, they charged me for 13, telling me that unfortunately, they had prepared for 13 people and we hadn't canceled at least a few hours in advance. They "generously" offered to take away the three uneaten portions. I politely declined this offer for logistical reasons. I don't question the method because I consider it legitimate; each manager manages their own restaurant as they see fit. However, I think it was unfair not to have informed us when booking, or at least notified us when we arrived and informed them of the actual number of people. Avoiding surprises for customers would be considered an essential courtesy. P.S.: We also endured over an hour of our neighbors at the same table, with the raucous shouting of a college graduate (congratulations!) who was jumping on her chair and her tipsy and equally excited relatives. But if people are rude, it's not the fault of the people who run the place.

I celebrated my graduation here with a lavish reception, the quality more than commensurate with the price. Paolo (the owner) is extremely kind and always available, as are the guys who work there. Highly recommended, even just for a great draft beer. The place is also well-decorated and welcoming.

A friend and I celebrated our graduation party here and were very pleased with the overall experience. The food was excellent and appropriate for a young graduation atmosphere, the spritz and beer were excellent, there was a private room available (there were about 35 of us), and the staff were very welcoming and accommodating to our requests. I would recommend Al Ritrovo to anyone looking to celebrate their graduation party, or any other celebration, while still offering excellent value and a more intimate atmosphere for the occasion. The staff is fantastic, and I would definitely choose them again.
