Principe Lievito e Cucina In Bologna

Random visit. Nice place, helpful and friendly staff. Excellent sandwiches.

The place is fantastic, and the evening shift staff are excellent. The negative comments found in other reviews are likely written by frustrated people who don't know how to cope; when someone behaves normally, they're treated accordingly. The Chicken Fry for aperitivo is highly recommended.

More than a bar, this place is perfect for any time of day: from breakfast to an evening aperitif, and even a mid-morning brunch. Everything revolves around excellent baked goods, both sweet and savory. The selection of smoothies is interesting, for a healthy breakfast. A good selection of coffees, including filtered coffee, would be a good addition. The place is tastefully and individually decorated.

Nice spacious place with an excellent selection of wines, beers and a variety of tasty foods.

What a wonderful find on Via Mezzofanti in Bologna! A unique place with a truly pleasant atmosphere. What struck me most was the open kitchen right in the dining room: eating while watching the chefs at work adds a unique touch of authenticity. I was also delighted to see a former colleague of mine as the chef again! ​I had a wonderful time: I ate one of the best salads I've had in recent years, truly thoughtful and fresh. The desserts on display also deserve special mention, an irresistible temptation. ​The place is tastefully decorated: there are individual tables as well as a large table, very bright thanks to the large windows. Even the less obvious details are striking, like the original and meticulously decorated bathroom and the counter below. The staff were welcoming and the food excellent. I'll definitely be back, highly recommended!

5 stars, but the review isn't positive. Working in the industry, I've always criticized those who leave negative reviews when things aren't going well, but don't write positive reviews when everything was as expected. That said, I've been there a few times. I live in the neighborhood, and it's one of the few options for aperitivo in the area. Everything has always gone more or less smoothly until this last time, and I was surprised. We arrived after dinner, were greeted at the door, sat down, and waited for someone to look at us before ordering. We had to call for our order after a few minutes, trying to catch the eye of one of the two or three waiters. After the first round, no one looked at us; they seemed more preoccupied with closing time. It was a particularly slow evening, but there's no excuse for inattentiveness towards customers. We went to the counter to ask for a second round, and so far no problem, I can understand. A friend of ours arrived, and it was 10:30-45 PM. We ask him for a drink and take the opportunity to order another round. No one looks at us even though someone else had sat down at the table. We call the waiter again, and this time I go specifically to ask the bartender for a special request. The drink is excellent. We finish our round, and at 11:15 PM we try to order another round, but we can't continue our conversation because they were already closing, even though the closing time was supposed to be midnight. As I said before, it's not a positive review despite the 5 stars. Good drinks, quality products, average prices, but disappointing service and an overall negative experience. I'll be back to see if even negative reviews with 5 stars can have a positive effect.

Good croissants and cappuccino. The kindness and courtesy at the checkout in the morning could be improved.

Excellent experience! Quality cured meats, well-prepared and generous dishes, and cocktails worthy of a second helping. Fast and attentive service, the waiter is SUPER professional and courteous, friendly, and always makes suggestions and recommendations, ensuring everything is on the table. In short, a place we'll happily return to.

The place is very nice. The lighting is just right, and the atmosphere is lovely. The cocktails are good, and the dinner is delicious. The staff is welcoming, kind, and attentive. Thank you.

Nice place, friendly staff, and good food and cocktails!
