La Traviata In Bologna

La Traviata... obviously, everything about Verdi and opera in this osteria, an osteria with an operatic twist! A good Bolognese restaurant... I recommend a classic menu... cured meats and cheeses with crescentine and giardiniera. I had tortellini with ragù (yes... I know, it's a blasphemy for the Bolognese, but that's how I like them)... a bit bland, to be honest. My friends had an artichoke and parmesan salad, tortelli (green) with parmesan cream, and then... a delicious cotoletta alla Bolognese... dipped in a sauce of... (guess what). Then, of course, the Bologna chocolate cake, Tenerina, all... with a delicious red wine from Predappio, the Vigna del Generale, truly delicious. A place I recommend. I can't tell you the price because I didn't pay, but I think it would have been around 50/60 per person.

A typical tavern! A family atmosphere. Sublime first courses! Also try the cutlet Bolognese! Wash it all down with a nice Lambrusco! All that was missing was the singing "Libiamo ne' lieti calici" (Let's drink from the happy glasses) and the evening would have truly been an opera!

I don't recommend fried foods. Everything else is excellent.

Tasteful dishes, in a lovely home atmosphere with super polite staff. Wonderful choice for dinner!

Homey atmosphere, very welcoming staff. The food is excellent, typical Bolognese.

Excellent traditional Bolognese menu, with attention to detail. The service is also excellent.

The restaurant is a lovely rustic restaurant reccomended to us by our hotel and which we thoroughly enjoyed. The food was so good we actually came back again for more. It was very popular, would reccomended booking in advance, but the food was great and you can get a table if you arrive early.

I would say this is a great place to eat. Food was superior. Very happy they had Armagnac. I personally ordered the braised cheek with masked potatoes. The house chianti was nice. Service was great. Only issue is there was a long wait for one of our dishes to come out. Recommend!

I highly recommend it! This restaurant was recommended to us by a local. We had the tagliatelle with meat sauce and the gramigna with sausage, both very good. The waiter was very kind and friendly.

A traditional osteria in the heart of Bologna, just steps from Piazza Maggiore. Informal atmosphere, friendly staff, and excellent food! Great value! My husband and I come here often, and La Traviata is always a great choice!
