Ristorante I Portici In Bologna

Excellent table, well served. Good culinary experience.

Excellent dining experience at the only Michelin starred restaurant in Bologna. Food was delicious, surprising, well executed, and went beyond just flavor. Service couldn’t have been better. The water menu which had options going up to 50EUR a bottle felt overly fancy, but if it appeals to people … nothing wrong with that. Definitely a good option for a special occasion!

Incredible mushroom risotto made with 7 years aged Parmigiano Reggiano, and it was seriously amazing 🤍 The chef really knows how to use acidity in just the right way, bringing perfect balance and harmony to the dish 🍄✨

A top-notch restaurant from a culinary perspective: each dish was thoughtful, creative, and truly excellent, using high-quality ingredients and meticulous technique. The Michelin star is absolutely deserved for the cuisine. Unfortunately, however, the experience was marred by the wine pairing, which cost €100 per person for five glasses, which at this point seems excessive. The first three pairings proved particularly inadequate: the first glass was an overly acidic natural wine, which compromised the delicacy of the dish it was paired with; another dish was accompanied by a low-quality industrial beer, while a further pairing included a house cocktail. These choices were decidedly below expectations for a restaurant of this caliber. Overall, the pairings did not enhance the dishes and, in some cases, were inconsistent, throwing off the balance of the entire tasting experience.

Crescenzio served us right before closing time, and despite the late hour, he was super kind and patient. He really made a difference during our stay. Thanks to all the staff.

I recently went to dinner for an anniversary with my girlfriend. It was a five-star experience, from the phone reservation to the request for some changes to the menu, service, and food. Of course, a Michelin star isn't something you get by accident, but they truly deserve it. The location is meticulously maintained, the staff is super professional and friendly, the dishes are excellently prepared, and every bite is an explosion of flavor. Highly recommended! I can't wait to return.

A Michelin-starred restaurant that truly deserves it. Superb dinner. Extraordinary wine list.
