If you're passing through or living in Bologna and want a quality seafood lunch without having to endure hours of highway travel, then Il Marinaio, right next to the Savena River lock, is an excellent choice.
I went there today for the first time and was definitely satisfied. The price was also fair.
The place is certainly dated, but I prioritize the quality of the seafood and the service.
These are really good, and I'll be back soon.

For three years now, this has been a regular stop for family seafood. Excellent appetizers, delicious grilled dishes, and their home-grown vegetables are truly superb.
It's hard to find honest places in Bologna that serve fish like this—always a pleasure!

I had a great time. We went for an early dinner. There were two of us. The spaghetti with clams was plentiful and very well-made, the fried fish was excellent. The sea bass was excellent, and the skewers were excellent. I'd definitely recommend the sea bass. For dessert, the pastiera was a top-notch. I'd gladly return, and the parking problem is a minor issue.
