La Bottega di Franco In Bologna

Surely the place and the presentation of the dishes are excellent but they do not justify the prices in my opinion really excessive .. but this is my opinion. What disappointed me is the fact that if you eat outside people can smoke next to you without having been warned at the reservation by the restaurateur otherwise I would have preferred a table indoors .. moreover for the type of service I want to give they should follow you better I had to ask several times for water which in the end I no longer took.

A certainty. Really excellent service with courteous and efficient people. We ate in the welcoming and very well-kept outdoor garden. The restaurant was full and despite there being tables it is well organized and there is no disturbance (it deserves a special mention for this). Ample parking. Full speed ahead!!!

An incredible experience suspended between the antiquity of the furnishings and the modernity of the dishes that recall ancient flavours and modern combinations

Typical traditional place since 1981 late 18th century structure with historical furnishings and large garden

We were in a group of six people and the experience was truly pleasant. The service stood out for its cordiality, friendliness and efficiency, making us feel welcomed and at ease throughout the visit. The location contributed significantly to the positive atmosphere, offering a well-kept and welcoming environment that made our time together even more enjoyable. An experience that we definitely recommend to those looking for a place to spend pleasant moments in company.

Excellent. I recommend it for a nice evening with friends or an intimate dinner. Beautiful location, professional waiters, wide selection of quality wines 👍

The restaurant is beautiful, well-kept, scenic, at times enchanting. The cuisine, on the other hand, does not disappoint: intense, tasty dishes, a delicious cake. However, hospitality - that impalpable but essential element - showed its rougher side from the beginning. Even though the parking lot was large, spacious, generous... we were greeted in a brusque tone, and invited to move the car as if we had broken a sacred order. A beginning that already cracks the atmosphere. During dinner, to worsen the sense of inattention, the person celebrating the birthday was served last. Last. As if the very reason for the meeting was invisible. Without even an alternative, let alone an apology. And one of the waiters, while taking the orders, expressed himself in a hasty and cutting manner: in a hasty and almost annoyed gesture he snatched - yes, snatched - the menu from the hands of a guest, as if the time dedicated to us was stolen from something more important. Hospitality is fundamental, rigidity and lack of grace are not accepted. A forced smile is not expected, but at least the neutral gesture of someone who knows that hospitality is the first course of every menu.

I highly recommend booking at least a month in advance. We dined outside and the outdoor location is beautiful, well-kept, attention to detail, everything tidy and clean. Waiting times are normal. The dishes are very refined and well-kept, in my opinion the portions are a bit small. Refined flavors and a very extensive wine list. The menu offers many choices. The evening is accompanied by very pleasant lounge music. The price adapts to the location, the presentation of the restaurant and the menu offered.

Ieri 1 maggio , pranzo alla Bottega di Franco, ci siamo andati altre volte, ci piace tantissimo. Il locale è molto caratteristico, questa volta eravamo in giardino di fronte al bancone dei cocktail, cibo ottimo, ampia scelta di portate, ambiente magico, insomma tutto perfetto , ci vuole un po’ pazienza per le prenotazioni, ma con margine là si fa

Sorpresi positivamente da una location originale e ben architettata, si viene accolti da personale gentile e discreto. Il menù è vario e adatto anche ai vegetariani. I piatti sono preparati da abili mani e con materie prime di eccellenza. Si ha la sensazione di essere coccolati con graditi extra non richiesti. Il rapporto prezzo/qualità è anch'esso eccellente. Consigliatissimo!
