Hostaria Sante Vincenzi - Anda & Red In Bologna

After wandering around Bologna for about an hour without proper reservations we stumbled upon Hostaria San Vincenzi and managed to snag a table just as they were preparing to open. (Yes, we were dining on our very uncivilized American schedule). Giorgio was kind enough to recommend a bottle of Prosecco and he delivered a plate piled high with various meats and some of the best mix of fresh focaccia and other breads that I’ve had in Italy. This was the magnificent intro to an amazing primi de pasta course. I ordered a ragu that was freshly prepared that day. It was flavorful and delicious. But when I got a taste of the tortelloni in cheese cream (not to be confused with alfredo sauce) I am not exaggerating when I say that the explosion of flavors and textures in my mouth brought tears to my eyes. The second course of beef in tuna sauce was a bit quirky, but it actually worked incredibly well. We also had grilled veggies that were prepared to perfection. We ended this amazing meal with Amaro shots. I highly recommend this establishment with attentive service, a family friendly environment and very reasonable prices! Bravo!

Delightful environment, staff and owners make you feel at home, Very pleasant evening!! ☺️

Lovely place with delicious food and great prices. The difference is made by the managers with their friendliness. Super recommended

We enjoyed an overlay in a hotel a few blocks away and we looked for a local venue to eat. And what a jackpot did we hit with this place! A local restaurant packed with Italians. One of the cooks was the only person who could speak a bit of English and he was so kind to alternate between cooking and serving us. Grazie Mille! The food was honest and delicious. For starters, we enjoyed a platter with a variety of vegetables, cold as well as hot. Followed by 2 pasta dishes; tortellini with gorgonzola and pistachio and rigatone with tomato and pork cheek sauce. Soo good! All flushed down with a crisp local white wine. Sometimes, life is good. At check out, we needed to pay 35 euro per head. An amount I would pay any day any time for the food and service we enjoyed. Can highly recommend 👌

Such a welcoming place... friendliness, goodness, simplicity. Just what you need after a hard day

The service and the food were amazing. We had unforgettable time, traditional Italian dining experience and the kindest waiter. We will certainly return! We were given liquor and a starter free of charge as a compliment.

Nice, intimate place. Very good food, honest prices. Service maybe a little slow, but it was worth it. Courteous staff. Cacio e pepe very good but the meatballs in Parmesan cream even better. The tortellini are also recommended. The venue also has a veranda in addition to the internal area.

Great food, good Lambrusco. The service was a little slow. To be recommended.
