Cinque Sapori In Bologna

Bologna's famous macrobiotic restaurant continues to live up to its reputation. Worth a visit even just to try their chocolate rice ice cream: one of the best things I've ever tasted!

I stumbled upon this little place invited by vegan colleagues, and it was a delightful surprise. The tasting menu I ordered was exquisite, and the other diners raved about their dishes. I also loved the atmosphere, which was very welcoming, as was the professionalism of the entire staff. I'll definitely be back!!

I feel sorry for anyone who was treated poorly. My husband and I ate wonderfully, from the appetizer sardines and chickpea meatballs to the main course and dessert everything was hot, well-seasoned, and delicious. ☺️

Original, carefully prepared, and innovative food. The vegan dishes and wine are excellent. The smile of the server adds to the pleasure.

Formerly a macrobiotic spot, it's now a restaurant serving excellent plant-based and vegan dishes that rivals any traditional restaurant. Friendly staff, a welcoming atmosphere, and moderate prices.

I enjoyed excellent, quality vegan food. Good, well-cooked ingredients. Balanced, very pleasant flavors. I'll be back!

Excellent restaurant with lots of vegan options. The pumpkin tortelli are delicious, as is the tofu spinacina and incredible Sacher torte! The staff is friendly and helpful.

January 2026 dinner. First thing, when booking, ask to stand as far away from the entrance door as it doesn't close properly, letting in cold drafts. Customers and waitresses took turns getting up to close it because many customers didn't close it properly when they came in. They tried seven times to fix it, which was annoying. There were two of us: I had the mixed fish pizza; I didn't like the tuna, just the fish, and their tomato sauce. The dough was good, made with sourdough. The other person had a vegan pizza with carrot puree instead of tomato sauce and rice-based mozzarella. It was interesting, better than mine. The half-bottle Sangiovese was standard, and their focaccia basket was €2.00. The girls were very kind and helpful. The total price was almost €60; all restaurants are very expensive these days; here, a main course was around €25. Looking at the other dishes... fresh, seasonal ingredients. Clean atmosphere.

Mismatch between menu and communication. The entrance door says "macrobiotic, vegan, and vegetarian," but there's very little vegan choice. Most of the dishes on the menu are fish dishes, all types of fish. Not exactly a pure macrobiotic.

We had a great time, the tortellini and vegan carbonara were excellent...we'll be back!
