Bar Il Calice In Bologna

Locale semplice e caratteristico in centro che andrebbe tenuto un po’ meglio. Le porzioni sono abbondanti e buone, i camerieri gentili ed efficienti. Conto adeguato. Nota assolutamente negativa e’ purtroppo la mancata pulizia e decoro dei servizi igienici.

Good food, good drinks, friendly staff and great atmosphere.

Without further ado, a typical tourist site that you stop and take advantage of to eat. 5 euros a coke 😅

I recently visited this Italian restaurant in Bologna, hoping for an authentic experience, but unfortunately, it fell far short of expectations. The bruschetta, which should be a vibrant and flavorful starter, was incredibly plain and lacked any seasoning. It was more visually appealing than tasty. It felt basic and completely uncharacteristic of what you'd expect from an Italian restaurant in Bologna. The roast potatoes were equally disappointing—overly baked to the point of being dry, and served at room temperature, as though they had been sitting out for too long. The lasagna, which I was hoping would redeem the meal, arrived cold and watery, with none of the rich, comforting flavors that should define this classic dish. Although the waiter was friendly and did his best to make us feel welcomed, the experience was further soured when it came time to pay. The cashier seemed more interested in chatting with others than completing our transaction, leaving us waiting far longer than necessary. It was frustrating and unprofessional, adding to the overall negative experience. The only reason I'm giving this place 3 stars instead of 1 is due to the waiter's effort. Unfortunately, everything else, from the food to the service at the cashier, left much to be desired. I can't recommend this restaurant based on my experience.

Good restaurant, well located, good food but expensive

Outstanding service! The team was incredibly attentive and made sure every detail was perfect. A truly memorable experience.

The food is good, everything else completely average.

Very good pasta dishes (Lasagne Bolognese is extraordinary). It is located in a central location, in a street with a lot of atmosphere.

Really good coffee, they ask what kind of water you want before drinking it. I haven't tried the food.

We chose completely at random the evening of our arrival. It was a great experience. The outdoor terrace is nice. Pleasant staff. Fast service contrary to the comments. Excellent value for money
