Malerba In Bologna

24/01/2025: I only found out now that the restaurant has closed permanently and I'm very sorry about it, because I've always enjoyed the environment, the welcome and, above all, the food. I would like to know if the owner has started a new business in the area and be able to find him! Is there any information about this??

28/12/2024: We were invited for a dinner with friends at the trattoria da Paolo, it was our first time, others had already been there. The place is inside a sports center, which makes free parking very convenient for dinner. Location nothing special, typical of a Trattoria. I had tagliatelle with ragù, very salty and a portion for me less than the canonical 80g. I don't recommend them. The fish depends, we had different things and tasted among us. I didn't like the calamarata pan, while the grilled calamari was good. The desserts were absolutely out of place, the cost €7 and more for 2 scoops of ice cream. 8 first courses/8 second courses, 3 bottles of prosecco, 5 desserts and 2 coffees €51 per person. In short, the quality of the food and portions were nothing special. If we had paid €30 I think they wouldn't have given us anything away. But that's how it is, this is now the practice in many places in Bologna. 3 stars to be generous, but honestly I prefer other places both for price and quality.
