I believe that any visitor to Bologna should make a reservation for lunch or dinner at Papa Re - a local restaurant with a small number of seats, but with memorable recipes. I ordered the main course and dessert, both with wine, and I am so satisfied that I cannot describe it to you.

Good food, no complaints there.
I'm sorry they served it at a record level; we finished the meal in half an hour. We couldn't finish a glass of wine because they already served us Dolce.
The only customers at nine o'clock gave us an inexplicable rush. The owner turned off the air conditioning in the small dining room, making himself feel like we were in the way and not worthy of consideration. He didn't even think about his loud, negative comments about the guests who had left before us.
Hmm... I feel sorry for the chef; he's good, but they don't give us time to enjoy his dishes.

An oasis of well-being in the heart of Bolognina. At Papa Re, time has stood still. Thankfully.

A traditional restaurant. It's like sitting in grandma's living room. The food is exceptionally good.

Great experience! Family-run restaurant. Unfortunately I was just passing through Bologna so I could only have one dinner at this place... I asked the staff directly for a typical first course and they brought me gramigna with sausage served by the chef himself😊 delicious!

A pleasant place with personal and attentive service. Dishes that have been on the menu for years and prove their quality. Real Italian. Atmospheric decor and reasonable prices. The neighborhood is different and not particularly atmospheric. Feel free to eat there.

We arrived in Bologna at a very unusual time, when almost all the activities had already stopped the lunch service. Despite this, the Papa Re restaurant welcomed us with great kindness and availability, making us feel immediately at ease.
A lunch with friends that turned into a memorable culinary experience: impeccable professionalism of the staff and, above all, extraordinary flavors. The tagliatelle alla bolognese were an authentic homage to tradition, perfectly balanced in flavors and cooking. A must-see for those who want to discover the gastronomic soul of the city with authenticity and warmth.
Highly recommended!

Welcoming atmosphere and very friendly staff. The chef came personally to talk with us. Excellent traditional cuisine and surprisingly digestible.

Tramite il consiglio di un amico, sono venuto a provare questo posto. Il ristorante si trova dietro la stazione, molto ben curato e direi anche raffinato, servizio molto professionale e veloce, qualità dei piatti anche molto buona. Abbiamo preso una tagliatella al ragù, ragù buono e saporito al punto giusto, gramigna con salsiccia, favolosa, cotoletta alla bolognese, buona e guancia di maiale, non male anche se forse era un po’ troppo forte il sapore del sughetto, ma era davvero cotta bene e tenerissima, infine come dolce un tortino alle mele, non male.
