Regina di Quadri In Bologna

Nice little cafe. There is a good selection of small tarts there.

We are faced with the winner of Cake Star in Bologna. At this point, however, a premise is in order which, I would like to underline, is a strictly personal opinion. Bologna is literally full of bars, but it does not have a "pastry" tradition, not intended as production (it would be enough to mention Gino Fabbri), but as an attitude: for me the "pastry shop" is a bistro, a sofa where you can stop in peace to enjoy a slice of cake and a cup of coffee (even just for a few minutes, because let's face it, who has the time today?). Regina is no exception: it is a small place with a counter, very few seats inside and an outdoor area that is anything but comfortable, especially in summer. So it's a bar, not a pastry shop. The staff is unwelcoming and unwelcoming, but how could it be otherwise? You can feel the annoying frenzy of the bar during rush hour, with customers queuing for the checkout mixed with those in front of the counter waiting to be served by busy employees who do their best to keep up, squeezed into a few square metres. of space. So Regina should fail? Absolutely not. Because the truth is that this pastry chef knows how to do it. The breakfast pastries are excellent, with a cream where you can taste (and see!) the vanilla. The cakes, both classic and modern, as well as the leavened products (panettone and colomba in the many variations), are certainly of a high standard (mine is not a technical opinion, but seeing is believing). Ultimately, if only for the "food" and considering what Bologna offers, it would deserve 5 stars; but, on the other items, I don't feel like giving more than enough. 4 stars of encouragement.

Prices out of the market. Distracted and unhelpful staff

Real Italian pastry shop! The pastas with creams are delicious. I liked the very soft Venetian with full of cream

Delicious cappuccinos and croissants. So much so that we turn a blind eye to the lack of friendliness of the staff behind the counter. A little overpriced, but you can turn a blind eye to that too. However, the other good is open on prices, otherwise the surprise is around the corner

So many choices for different sweets. we liked.

Sono stato un paio di volte a colazione in questa pasticceria del centro di Bologna ed entrambe le volte sono stato ospite, così non ho preso visione dei prezzi dei prodotti in vendita, prezzi che paiono elevati a detta di molti recensori. Quello che posso affermare con assoluta certezza è che la qualità delle materie prime utilizzate in pasticceria è superlativa e quindi in ogni caso i prezzi alti sono giustificati. Anche sul servizio non ho nessun rilievo negativo da fare.

We ordered a cake for our wedding. The staff has always been unhelpful and certainly not empathetic, the estimate given was lower than what was actually spent (a third more), we went the day before the wedding to pay by card/debit card, considering that it seemed correct to pay the cake before using the service and they made us wait and then told us that we would receive the invoice to be paid by bank transfer. After about 20 minutes we received a message asking us to pay by evening. The cake was good but it's the only wedding supplier we wouldn't choose if we went back. Sin!

For me one of the best pasticcerias in Bologna. The pastries are simply super fresh and crispy, no matter what you use. The cappuccino is also excellent. Definitely try it out!

Non capisco le recensioni negative: è chiaro che, essendo il locale piccolo, in certe ore si affolla e gli inservienti fanno fatica Io, abitando attaccato, ci vado quando c'è poca gente Il personale con me è gentilissimo Conosco da tempo questa Pasticceria perchè mia zia Giuliana aveva problemi di gastrite e diceva "Mimmo portami qualsiasi cosa, basta che sia della Regina di Quadri" Io amo i dolci e trovo ottimi i Bomboloni, la Pesca, la Veneziana la Diplomatica Complimenti Dott.
