Il Boccone del Prete In Bologna

Priceless, a unique location in Bologna. A golf course with a view of the entire city. Food on par with the location, and a wine cellar that's perhaps even better, if possible. Ample and convenient parking. Excellent service and reasonable but not excessive prices. A place that fills the soul. Thank you.

Nice and elegant place, but I wasn't thrilled with the food. The Bolognese fried fish was nothing special, especially considering the price. A wide selection of wines by the bottle and a few options by the glass.

Wonderful location. Attentive and cheerful service. Small and interesting menu, as it should be. The only flaw is the attention to detail in the preparation, which is expected given the slightly higher-than-average prices. I would definitely return.

We were there on June 14, 2026 to celebrate our wedding anniversary, I recommend it to everyone both for the food, the atmosphere and the excellent service of the staff and owners Francesco and Sebastiano

My wife and I arrived about twenty minutes late from our reservation. However, we had called ahead, and the very helpful young lady who answered reassured us that there were no problems. When we arrived at the location (9 out of 10), located inside a golf club with a splendid panoramic view of Bologna, we were impressed by the modern structure and the outdoor tables nestled in a well-kept garden. Aside from an initial awkward moment, when among the dozen or so waiters, almost all very young, it wasn't clear who was supposed to welcome or greet us (something that should be quite spontaneous), for the rest of the evening we were treated very well. The dinner began with a pleasant attention: a young woman brought us a wooden box to put my wife's handbag in. Shortly after, another waitress, a little shy but very kind, served us a piece of crescenta (9 out of 10) accompanied by Lucanian olive oil (8 out of 10). Here's what we ordered: Two glasses of Champagne Extra Brut for €10 each (rating 9). Beef tartare consisting of four bite-sized pieces (rating 8), which, however, were not described to us at the time of serving: one with supposedly grated bottarga (rating 8); one with half a slightly spicy chili pepper with crunchy seeds inside (rating 10); one with fine salt (rating 9); one with ingredients reminiscent of sesame (rating 7). Passatelli (rating 8), served in a rather generous portion, with zucchini and what appeared to be the same bottarga used on the beef tartare. Again, the dish was not described to us. Mixed fried fish for €27, decidedly generous even for two people (rating 7), consisting of: zucchini (rating 8); carrots (rating 7); mortdella (rating 6); Grana Padano (8); Bologna cutlet (6.5); meatballs (6); a meatball with ham and cheese (7); zucchini flowers (6). The batter was a bit too thick and slightly greasy; furthermore, given the generous portion, it became quite rubbery once it cooled. A rum served neat (9), accompanied by dark chocolate (7). I had specifically asked for it without any additives, and the waiter accommodated my request perfectly. The only thing that left me a little perplexed was the atmosphere of the evening. Given the elegant location, immersed in the tranquility of the golf club, I expected a quieter and more relaxing atmosphere. A rather large university fraternity was present during dinner, and while they never seemed rude or disrespectful, they contributed to a more lively atmosphere than expected. Between the singing, loud conversations, and constant movement around the venue, the calm and intimate atmosphere I'd hoped for on a special evening like our tenth wedding anniversary was somewhat lost. The final bill, €94, left us completely satisfied with the value for money. We can therefore say we celebrated our first ten years of marriage in the best possible way at this venue. Overall, a positive experience that we would highly recommend.

A pleasant evening with friends in the cool air, eating well and with an excellent choice of wines.

I went to Boccone del Prete with friends and our children for dinner. There were two events outside that evening, so they set up a table for us inside, which turned out to be a great solution given the inevitable chaos outside. The dinner was excellent, and the wine list was also very good. The staff was attentive, kind, and even friendly. The view from here is priceless. We'll be back!

Had lunch on a holiday, the place was packed. Easy to get to from the city center, with ample and convenient parking. Very nice location, with a view of the metropolis, well-kept and with well-spaced tables. We tried three first courses and three second courses, all different, more than adequate portions. Well prepared, cooked, and plated...all delicious. The only downside was a long time passed between the two courses, but the very kind owner apologized and did his best to speed up the service. We weren't busy or in a hurry, so we enjoyed the moment, which can happen, especially when the place is full. The desserts were also very good. The staff were polite and professional. We will definitely be back one evening to enjoy the sunset and the night view. Finally, we booked online, very convenient and easy...I recommend it.

The food was of very high quality. The tagliata meat, in particular, was excellent. The service combined professionalism with natural kindness. All this in a spacious setting (well spaced between tables) and with a truly remarkable view.

Hello, I'm leaving you these two words because you deserve my review... Kind and very knowledgeable staff, excellent and very well-kept dishes, excellent drinks... we had a great time and after meeting you for my wedding we come to visit you every now and then because it's such a great place... Keep it up and I'll definitely be back and we'll bring new people to try your cuisine... see you soon Gianluca
