Merlo In Bologna

Excellent quality of food, wine list and hospitality

Fabulous experience! Delicious Poldino, spectacular boiled meat with Russian salad, and amazing vodka wheels!!! By the way, they made the two appetizers half-portions upon request so two could enjoy them. Beautiful place... well done!

Incredible dinner and perfect service with Federico. Marco is a host from another era.

Fantastic experience, excellent food from appetizer to dessert, super friendly staff. We'll definitely be back!

Carefully prepared but not pretentious dishes, excellent raw materials, attentive and non-invasive service

Very friendly staff, excellent food.

We came to this place on the recommendation of a friend who had heard it was "good." We ordered a portion of tortellini in broth, a portion of lasagna, and a bottle of still water: total payment was €46. The tortellini were good, the only ones I've eaten in Bologna, so I have no comparison. The lasagna, on the other hand, was passable. While I was in the bathroom, I saw one of the waiters come into the pantry with the fateful individual portions of lasagna wrapped in plastic wrap. Unfortunately, I saw this scene after ordering, and in the end, they turned out to be mediocre. For two, we paid €7 for a cover charge. I found the price a bit high, and the service was average, neither positive nor negative. Perhaps I found the staff a little sullen, but who knows. The place looks nice, with nice decor. From my very personal experience, I won't be returning. I didn't find the cost, portions, and quality of the food to be in line with each other.

Recommended by a colleague, it fully met expectations. The only caveat is that the bathroom is a bit inconvenient due to the stairs.

This was our first dinner in Bologna and it didn't disappoint. We didn't have reservations, but thankfully they were able to find a spot for us. We got the cotoletta alla bolognese and tortellini alla panna. Both were delicious and a wonderful start to our trip.

Everything was excellent. Kudos to the staff for always being friendly and for the efficient service. Highly recommended.
