Ciacco In Bologna

Excellent food and service!Highly recommended!!!!!

Excellent takes on traditional dishes.

Really nice, good food and brilliant service

We had dinner here, friendly and professional staff. As a starter we had tuna tartare, it was served with strong sour mango sauce that overpowered the tuna and chunks of cocos. Fresh tuna was mixed with old tuna (brown pieces with a iron/fishy taste). The main course risotto with smoked char was ok. Risotto tasteless. We were pretty disapointed and the price / quality was not ok. Will not come back.

Welcoming, smiling and helpful staff! Exceptional food

Went here as our first choice was fully booked so we wandered up the road. To be honest this was absolutely the best choice! Can't fault anything. Friendly service & amazing food. My husband had the eel starter and it was lovely. Never had eel before so we are pleased to have tried it here. Everything else was also cooked and served perfectly. Unfortunately we did not take photos to share. If we are ever back in Bologna we would certainly return here.

We stumbled on this place by chance for lunch and what a find ! Fabulous service, great range of food and wine with expert advice . Not too far from Piazza Maggiore . Thank you!!

What a discovery! Ristorante Ciacco in the heart of Bologna surprised us with a unique mix of refinement and originality. Each dish felt like a small work of art — not only in presentation, but especially in taste. From the colorful amuse with a surprising pink sauce to the creamy fish dishes with a subtle twist: every plate was a new experience. The pasta with mussels and crispy topping was perfectly balanced and full of umami, while the gently cooked meat dishes melted on the tongue. And then the desserts… wow. Whether you like pistachio, chocolate or caramel, there is something for everyone. Our favorite? The airy creation with white meringue and a silky caramel sauce – a small party on your plate. The service was friendly and casual, and the atmosphere elegant without being stiff. Perfect for an evening of culinary enjoyment in Bologna. In short: a hidden gem where the chef dares to surprise. Recommended for those looking for something special and tasty. We will definitely come back!

Sono stato poco fa a cena qui con una collega. Ho trovato veramente premuroso e fin troppo attento il servizio con il personale che continuamente chiede agli ospiti se hanno gradito il cibo, soprattutto in questi giorni in cui sta prendendo avvio il nuovo menù primaverile. Nella carta ci sono piatti della tradizione petroniana accanto a piatti di pesce. La cucina è curatissima, le porzioni sono talvolta generose (come quella del risotto mantecato al rosso d'uovo) talvolta meno. Alcuni accostamenti innovativi risultano troppo audaci, come la crema catalana in crema di basilico che ricorda nel gusto più un piatto di trofie al pesto che un dessert. I prezzi sono ragionevoli per il livello del locale e della cucina.

Il ristorante Ciacco è sempre una certezza, abbiamo mangiato sia tradizione che pesce, entrambi divini. Staff bravo e gentile!
