Bitone In Bologna

For the price we spent for two, which was still not insignificant, we ate very well. It's certainly not a tourist trap like some downtown restaurants. The quality of the ingredients is palpable here (meat and fish for sure; we'll be back for the pasta dishes), and the plating and presentation are meticulously crafted. The wine list is excellent! Regional and national selections, and it's a real pleasure to find wines from important vintages and decanter-worthy reds.

Bitone has a fantastic location: the building is very characteristic and the ambiance elegant. The staff and service are excellent. However, there are some significant issues: first of all, the prices are high, higher than those of a Michelin-starred restaurant (which is incomprehensible). The selection of dishes is traditional, with no innovative experimentation or unusual combinations. The price of a standard plate of tortellini is €30. The welcome drink has been the same for the past four years (mere crostini with cheese), and every time I go, they don't have any options for those with lactose intolerance. Furthermore, all the desserts contained lactose. I think it's a serious problem that a restaurant with such prices doesn't have any options for those with lactose intolerance. This needs to be addressed.

Fantastic place with excellent service and high class food

Family lunch. Impeccable service and excellent food quality. A very popular and traditional restaurant. Highly recommended.

Every time I go to Bologna I go to Bitone. The best restaurant in Bologna.

Four of us went on Sunday and had a wonderful meal. The atmosphere was welcoming, the service professional, and the Bolognese dishes were truly prepared as they should be. Tortellini, cutlet, and desserts were all perfect, but the fish, in my opinion, was of the highest quality in the Bolognese region—excellent quality and true tradition. It's clear why it's a historic restaurant. A highly recommended experience. We'll definitely be back.

Pampered, unique atmosphere, everything quality. Thank you so much. Katy and Anto ❤️

A typical Bologna restaurant Excellent food, excellent recommended glass of wine, impeccable service. Prices are certainly a bit high, but reasonable given the quality.

A sophisticated restaurant serving refined cuisine made with high-quality, fresh ingredients (fish, mushrooms). A good wine list. Impeccable service. Prices are in line with the restaurant's offerings.

A beautiful Italian restaurant, both chic and authentic. Impeccable service, with an elegant and attentive waiter. The dishes are worthy of the price: delicious risotto, excellent homemade pasta, and an absolutely delicious monkfish to share. A great place!
