Onigiri RAKU In Bologna

A lunch with a comforting and satisfying taste. Surprising flavors, but with a homely warmth. A very cute and picturesque place; it's small, but that's also why it's so beautiful.

This restaurant is a slice of Japan in Bologna. The intimate and informal atmosphere is perfect for a true Japanese meal. I recommend the katsu carry, takoyaki, and matcha cheesecake.

A wonderful experience! Friends had recommended it a while ago, and we finally found the time to try it! An intimate restaurant with limited seating to ensure the best possible service and minimal waiting, considering everything is made fresh. Definitely good value! The owner is very attentive and recommends the best way to enjoy each dish (all traditional Japanese dishes), a great added value!

When fate calls you by pure chance... I found this beautiful and evocative place by pure chance. A "piece of Japanese home," with a beautiful, clean, and tidy open kitchen. Limited seating (max 8/10), but everything is taken care of down to the last detail. A welcome worthy of respect, kindness, and love for the customer, worthy of this culture! Excellent food with generous portions! After enjoying a nice cup of hot tea, you can't leave without first picking up more takeout to continue enjoying these overseas delicacies at home. They even showed me a photo of the finished dish before putting the lid on, so I could appreciate its aesthetics, because, as everyone knows, appearances matter. A gesture much appreciated. The sushi is also definitely worth trying. The price is definitely in proportion to the quality of the service and food received. Absolutely don't expect "all you can eat." I will definitely be back ❤️

It's a real Japanese place, the menu quality and variety are excellent, the only flaw is that the place is too small (but that's how it is in Japan).

I happened to pass by and was intrigued after realizing the owner/cook is 100% Japanese. Best miso soup I've ever had! The udon noodles and steamed tables are also spectacular. A true little gem hidden just a 5-minute walk from the central station. Highly recommended!

Just go there to understand what levels we are talking about

A traditional Japanese restaurant, a true gem near Bologna train station. The staff are incredibly friendly and the Japanese chefs put so much care and dedication into their dishes. I can't wait to return. 🙏🏻✨ The takoyaki and tonkatsu are highly recommended!

Really great, truly Japanese food, with a Japanese chef in the kitchen. Good prices, quality ingredients, and Japanese beer and sake available. Perfect spot on a cold day to warm up with tasty, comforting food, a friendly welcome, and filling dishes. When I’m back in Bologna, I’ll definitely come again.

Really delicious!! The udon noodles and donuts are amazing. The entire staff is very kind and welcoming. I can't wait to go back!
