Onigiri RAKU In Bologna

Small and intimate atmosphere. The gentleman who welcomed me, Italian, was very kind and the cooks are Japanese. The dish I ordered was good.

Authentic Japanese cuisine, with vegetarian and gluten-free options. The place is small, but the dishes are truly wonderful. Plus, it's a 10-minute walk from the station and they also do takeout. So, really convenient. The staff is very friendly. I can't wait to go back.

It had been 20 days since I left Japan, and I was really missing it and craving Japanese food, so as soon as I arrived in Bologna, I headed straight to Onigiri Raku. I felt so bad because it was 30 minutes before closing time, but all the staff were so kind, and an Italian man even saw me off in Japanese. I was able to eat such delicious Japanese food that I felt like I was in Japan! Thank you so much! It was delicious! Thank you for the meal!

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.

We've been several times and the food has always been divine. Each dish is not only delicious, but with its authenticity and meticulous attention to detail, it transports you to another cuisine. The owner has always been kind and helpful.

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!
