San Silvestro in Cantina In Bologna

Helpful, friendly and offering good traditional Emilian food

The food was excellent and easily the highlight. Service was attentive and friendly, while the atmosphere was fairly standard. Overall, well worth it for the food.

First time at this restaurant and definitely a great find. The location is simply stunning, in Piazza Minghetti, arguably one of the most beautiful and elegant areas of central Bologna. The interior is very refined and welcoming, immediately putting you at ease. Typical Bolognese cuisine is prepared as it should be, with fresh ingredients and well-executed dishes. The service is fast and efficient, without ever feeling rushed. The staff is extremely helpful and speaks perfect English, a detail that is not to be taken for granted and highly appreciated. The only small point: there was a rather noisy table that disturbed us a bit, but obviously that's not the restaurant's fault. Overall, a very positive experience: absolutely recommended, and I definitely think I'll be back.

We took a daytrip to Bologna from Milan, and it rained non-stop. But I was determined to visit the city known as the gastronomic center of Italy. I wasn't disappointed! As our feet got increasingly damp from the rain, my husband found this place, and it was a warm, cozy respite from the weather. He had a white bean soup, and I had the bolognese pasta. They seemed like simple dishes but it was the most satisfying and memorable meal of our trip!

We visited mid November. Such a cosy and peaceful experience it was. Would love to visit it again some time soon.

We sat outside, reservations were needed for the inside. No problem because there were heaters. Very good traditional food and the limoncello was also very good. Very friendly service.

top-notch welcome, delicious pumpkin flan, as well as the cutlet, I recommend it

One of the best restaurants in Bologna. The service from all the staff is second to none. The food is deliciously prepared, and the wines, drinks, and desserts are spectacular.

A pleasant discovery with friendly and professional staff. The restaurant is right in the city center. Recommended.

Excellent food, professional staff. Great for traditional dishes! Highly recommended!
