Il Boccone del Prete In Bologna

02/06/2025: Very good traditional dishes, fast service, reasonable prices. Well done!!

02/06/2025: The restaurant is a very nice, welcoming little place, enriched by many photos of Bologna from times gone by. The food is exquisite, of excellent quality, I am truly satisfied. In fact, I recommended this place for lunch to my loved ones who spent half a day with me in the city. A traditional place, a guarantee for those who want to eat typical Bolognese cuisine at its best. I didn't give the maximum rating for one reason: the manners of the waiter who served us, visibly annoyed and at times rude, left me speechless. When you find yourself working as a waiter, a job that I understand because I do it too, the relationship with customers is very important, and sometimes it is the only component of this job that is rewarding. He came across as cold and in a couple of cases, quite unpleasant: in the first case, I asked him if instead of tagliatelle with ragù he could bring tortellini, saying directly "we don't make tortellini for you" when I would have appreciated a more correct response from him such as "I'm sorry but it doesn't fall within the traditional canons of our cuisine"; in the second case, when he brought me the cutlet alla bolognese he didn't bring the side dish, and I waited more than 5 minutes to eat it, as soon as he passed I asked him where the side dish had ended up and he told me in a rude way "if you give me time I'll bring it to you", when you take half-cooked courses they NEVER leave, if you dedicate yourself to one table at a time as it should be, you have to bring everything to that table and if something is missing you have to take responsibility for it and not respond rudely. Forgive the verbosity, but it is really discordant with regards to a perfect restaurant with perfect cuisine, to find people who don't know how to do their job. A heartfelt thanks, instead, to the two owners, extremely polite, cordial and well-mannered figures.
