Big Bar In Forlì

I stopped by this bar on a weekday morning, drawn by the fact that it's one of the few places in the area that opens early and is convenient for a quick breakfast before starting the day. The overall experience was decent, with some positive aspects and others that I think could be improved. What I liked - Convenient location: The bar is located in a busy area, easy to get to, and has nearby parking. Perfect if you're in a hurry or live in the neighborhood. - Large, bright spaces: The interior is larger than it appears from the outside, with well-spaced tables and a simple yet functional atmosphere. - Good coffee: I had an espresso and found it well-extracted, with a consistent crema and no bitter aftertaste. - Quick service: Despite the crowds, I was served quickly, which I really appreciate when I'm in a rush. What could be improved - A somewhat distant welcome: The staff was polite but not particularly warm. No rudeness, mind you, but a little extra attention to the customer would really make a difference. - Average pastries: I had a cream brioche, which was good but not memorable. I would have liked something fresher or more varied. - Slightly anonymous atmosphere: the place is clean and tidy, but lacks a personal touch that makes it truly distinctive or recognizable compared to other bars in the area. In summary Big Bar is a practical, quick, and reliable place for breakfast or a coffee during the day. I didn't find anything particularly negative, but neither did anything that really set it apart. It's one of those places that "does its job," with no surprises, either positive or negative. If you're looking for a comfortable, no-frills café, it's fine. If you're looking for a more refined experience or a high-quality pastry shop, it might not be the right place.

Very glamorous place Excellent drinks Very good food. I had the cacio e pepe ravioli, among other things.

Welcoming place, excellent wines and cocktails

First time stopping for an aperitivo. The place is beautiful and welcoming. We ordered a platter of cured meats and cheeses, accompanied by two cocktails. They were beautifully made. Highly recommended.

Truly delightful. We recently visited this bar and had an absolutely positive experience in every way. The atmosphere is meticulously designed and tastefully decorated, and the staff immediately proved welcoming, helpful, and knowledgeable. Even though the place was almost full when we arrived, the waiters quickly found a way to seat us. Two of us chose Bloody Marys: simply excellent, perfectly spiced and perfectly balanced. Although the place focuses on a wide selection of wines and cocktails of all kinds, I was also very pleased with the beer, available both on tap and by the bottle, with special attention given to celiacs. All this was accompanied by a few dishes from the kitchen: fried chicken, baked potatoes, and empanadas with stracciatella and anchovies. The latter, served with house-made bread, deserve a special mention: truly excellent. A highly recommended place, one we will definitely return to!

Excellent service, excellent food... shame about the very noisy atmosphere.

The best place in Forlì. Nice people, always smiling and helpful!

Big Bar has long been my favorite bar. The attention to detail and attentiveness shown by the staff is simply fantastic. Behind the bar, Saad takes care of every request, even the most bizarre and unusual drinks. In the dining room, the owner welcomes you and offers excellent advice, taking care of every request. Last but not least, in the kitchen, Federico adds an unparalleled touch to every dish on the menu, making it a truly enjoyable experience for an aperitif or dinner.

Lovely place and very friendly staff. The cocktails are delicious!!

You can choose what to drink: cocktails, gin and tonic (a good selection of gin), wine (I thought it was a great selection), and beer. The food is interesting, not just the platters: I had the meatballs, which were delicious, and the focaccia/crescente/schiacciata (whatever you call it, depending on where you're from) served as a side dish was excellent. Reasonable prices.
