Al Sangiovese In Bologna

We found it by chance looking for dinner. We ordered Risotto al parmigiano e tartufo, Tagliatelle alla bolognese, Chicche di patate al pesto del sangiovese, Tiramisù and Torta di mele alla charlotte. Everything was delicious, the pesto sauce delicious. The service and attention of the owner of 10. Advisable!!!

We were lucky to get a table without a reservation. The service was very good and friendly. The portions were generous and the plats were homey.

Very nice staff. Very good food. Large portions. Reasonable prices. All around good time

Super good, good portions, homemade ice cream

This was my first visit to a restaurant in Bologna, partly also because it was very close. Sat outside, even though it was a bit too hot, probably should have fought more for a seat inside as others who came after us without having ordered got this. Shared a mortadella ham starter with cheese (here the waitress thought there would be something like cured ham), and had tortellini and semifreddo for dessert. The waitress had carpaccio for main course and was happy with it. Good food, but perhaps expected a little more in terms of taste. (Admittedly taking a slight reservation after a round of colds.)

The restaurant is a bit out of the way and looks inviting. The reception and service were GREAT! First we (the three of us) had an aperitif spritz, which was a bit thin, but ok. Due to the heat (34°C) we decided to start with primi piati. Both the tagliatelle and ragu, but especially the lasagna, were great. But then... the cotoletto was almost inedible, a thin, dry something fried to death in old fat and gratinated with cheese. Beef fillet with porcini mushrooms. Ordered medium rare, got it that way, but rather cooked, saw no heat, no roasted aromas, tough as hell. The porcini mushroom sauce, of course in the summer with frozen mushrooms, but when they are cut so tiny it creates more of a slime-like soup that was completely unseasoned. For dessert: tiramisu very good, pana cotta very good, pears left in wine with chocolate sauce, not edible. Like canned pears with that cheap chocolate sauce from the plastic bottle that you use for ice cream topping in Germany. For this culinary achievement, my 4 star rating is really generous!

Week in Bologna and this was my family’s favorite spot. Delicious food, quaint atmosphere and friendly service!

The food is delicious. High-level service. Delicious wine

Had seen Al Sangiovese a week before we arrived in Bologna, had never visited the city before so needed ideas, so happy I found this gem as it was the best meal of the trip which covered Lucca , Cattolica, Rimini and San Marino to name a few locations….hands down. Out of the tourist trap centre but only 10 minute walk from on Pz Maggiore - incredibly friendly waiting staff, beautifully cooked food and quite possible the best tiramisu (made in house) sat outside but inside looked lovely and welcoming - dishes we had (2 adults/2 teenagers) were Tortellini in brodo, mortadella with Parmesan, lasagne verde, chicken with lemon & Parmesan and radicchio, fillet steak with speck and spinach, fillet steak with porcini sauce - all outstanding and cooked to perfection. First place I’d go if I’m lucky enough to return to Bologna….Bravi!!!!

È stata la nostra prima volta, mi auguro non l'ultima poichè appena saremo in zona vogliamo tornarci. Che bontà!!! Location molto carina ed accogliente ma sono i piatti che sono stati protagonisti. Ottimi tortelli e lasagne, molto gustosi. Lo consigliamo!
