Cafe Zanarini In Bologna

Historic coffee, excellent products, high-level pastries and impeccable service! I love going there to be pampered by their coffees. But.... You MUST do something about those pigeons, they are becoming a problem!

GREAT COFFEE ! Soon after we arrived at our Airbnb apartment in Bologna on Fri, Sept 29th my wife and I headed out to grab some cash from an ATM. Along the way we had a good look for potential dinner and breakfast places. Across from the ATM we noticed this impressive looking cafe. A quick look inside was enough to confirm it for our cappuccino spot the next morning. AND WE DID ! On Saturday morning we made the 10 minute walk over here for a light brekkie. A sweet cashier named Luna took our order for 2 x Double Shot Cappuccinos ( in their cute little cups ) and 2 x Ham & Cheese Croissants. We paid upfront and sat at a high community bench table at the rear of the cafe. Within a few short minutes our 2 Cappuccinos were placed on the espresso bar counter by Grazia the barista....plus 2 small glasses of Sparkling Water ( palate cleanser ). I had to tell Grazia we don't drink Sparkling Water ( very popular in Italy ). OKAY ! Grazia happily replaced them with small glasses of Still Water ( as they call it ). Our rich tasting cappuccinos tasted fabulous..hard to beat an invigorating coffee early in the morning. Shortly after our Ham & Cheese Croissants arrived and they tasted quite good. This is a pretty flash looking espresso bar / cafe with a huge outdoor dining area. I went for a walk to find the men's restroom...it was upstairs. WOW ! There was a beautiful dining room on the upper floor.....classic Italian style. I took a bunch of pics after using the restroom. Before we left I asked Luna the cashier about dining upstairs. Luna said they serve good pasta and more. When we expressed interest in good pasta dishes Luna quietly told us about her fav pasta restaurant...we hit it that evening and it was sensational ! On Sunday, Oct 1st my wife and I walked the short distance here for our morning coffees. We arrived around 7am and waited a minute or two for them to open. A cashier took our order for 2 x Double Shot Cappuccinos and a sweet pastry for my wife. We were asked if we wanted small glasses of Sparkling Water or Still Water ( to cleanse the palate )...we said still. Our Cappuccinos in cute little cups were placed on the espresso counter within a few minutes. Nothing like a rich tasting cappuccino to get your motor runnin' first thing in the morning. My wife enjoyed her sweet pastry with her invigorating cappuccino. This was the start of a very busy day for us....our last full day in Bologna. THIS WAS A GOOD FIND !

A very elegant historic venue in Bologna located in a strategic position behind the Duomo and in the street full of luxury shops. The pastry shop is excellent and during the festive periods, Christmas, Easter, its pastry chefs create real works of art. In the small square in front you can sit and relax and enjoy a beautiful view with an aperitif or breakfast or simply having a coffee. Prices are higher than average but you pay for the quality.

Famous and historic pastry shop in Bologna after many years I returned and tasted one of their single portions of dessert which I found fabulous and delicate I must admit that over time they have greatly improved the quality of the raw materials excellent aperitif with quality prosecco and together accompanied by abundant appetizers fast service relaxing and pleasant location in the center especially if you eat outside at fair prices.

Beautiful outdoors seating behind Piazza Maggiore. We ordered the aperitivo it had a drink and some appetizers. Very nice staff and very helpful.

The pastry shop is certainly of high quality, offering a menu with a wide choice of various types of products with a medium-high price range.

St. Mark's Square in Bologna. See and be seen. Of course a little more expensive but hey, you're sitting with celebrities.

Sono di Mantova ed ero curiosa di vedere la pasticceria di Antoniazzi a Bologna , devo dire che come dolci non si smentisce sono meravigliosi peccato che siano stati serviti troppo freddi cmq volevo solo dire che le dipendenti non sono per niente socievoli e poco professionali , non sono all'altezza dei posto in cui lavorano

Muy profesionales, Tomamos unas cervezas riquísimas con varios aperitivos: canapes, papas y aceitunas. Recomendable
