Onigiri RAKU In Bologna

A truly highly recommended traditional Japanese restaurant. Original flavors and fair prices. Takeout, however, isn't the same for me. You need to sit down and immerse yourself in the spirit of the place with a hot cup of tea!

I've read some negative reviews, and I have to say that almost all of them were about strollers and dogs. It's an exaggeration, as the restaurant seats eight. I don't understand how people can't understand that a stroller takes up half the place. The food is top-notch.

Wow!! What delicious Katsu Tama Don and Oyako Don!!! It immediately reminded me of authentic Japanese home cooking, and I was truly delighted. The restaurant may be small, but the service is first-class – with both Italian and Japanese flair. I sincerely hope this restaurant attracts many wonderful guests! 😍

Amazing place for authentic japanese food, lovely people

EDIT: I'm revising my review after some time. Things have significantly improved, and it's only right to reward those who do. The food is an A+; I've only eaten at this level in Japan. However, I must confirm that the bearded man at the cash register was extremely rude to more than a few customers during our time there. Honestly, his attitude was very off-putting, and that's the only reason I decided to give it three stars. To interact with the public, you have to be good at it. I understand it's not easy, but that doesn't justify certain behaviors.

Best Japanese restaurant in town.. staff is very friendly, service is quick, professional and the food is amazing. Would definitely recommend! 💯

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.
