Le Stanze In Bologna

07/12/2025: I had lunch here today. I was greeted as if I were a regular, but I'd never been here before. Everyone greeted me with a smile, and the entire staff greeted me with a good morning, so we were off to a great start. I savored "works of art" from these gentlemen. Manuele, friendly and professional, made me feel right at home. But I'll definitely be back; I highly recommend this place. Good luck, guys.

05/12/2025: I was here for a company dinner. I'd read a few reviews before going, and I have to say I found some things to be good, while others, I think, depended heavily on the evening. Let's start with the appetizers: tigelle, cured meats, and crescentine were very good, true to tradition. They're not really my style, but that's just personal preference. The fried foods, on the other hand, didn't convince me: they weren't very inviting to look at and, overall, not particularly memorable. And then... all fried? At the end of the evening, the only thing that was truly guaranteed was the smell of fried food in my clothes: as soon as I got home, everything went straight to the washing machine. The first courses, fortunately, lifted my spirits: both the tortelloni and passatelli were truly delicious. I've read that they're handmade, and honestly, I believe it. A small hiccup: a colleague was left without a first course, and when the waiter returned with the passatelli, they were a bit loose. Perhaps a little more care wouldn't go amiss. The famous sorbet—much criticized in other reviews—was served in a paper cup. I found this an unexpectedly nice idea: a "green" touch consistent with a trattoria, certainly not a Michelin-starred restaurant. I'd go back.
