This was our favorite place to have a bite in Bologna. It was delicious, prices are great, but above all the service and the attitude really made us feel special. I'll never forget how our waiter ran to the back of the tratoria to bring us extra parmigiano to go, just because he noticed how much my little daughter loved it!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Unforgettable Italian Culinary Experience in the Heart of Bologna
If you’re in Bologna and searching for the true soul of Italian cuisine, look no further. This restaurant delivers everything you could hope for — authenticity, warmth, and dishes that feel like they’ve been crafted with centuries of tradition.
From the moment we walked in, we were greeted like family. The atmosphere is intimate and inviting, with rustic décor that pays homage to Emilia-Romagna’s culinary roots. The service? Impeccable — attentive without ever being overbearing.
But the food… the food is where the magic truly lies.
We started with a platter of local cured meats and aged Parmigiano Reggiano — paired perfectly with warm, fresh-baked tigelle. Then came the tortellini in brodo: delicate, hand-made pasta filled with rich meat, floating in a golden, deeply flavorful broth. It was comfort in a bowl, elevated to an art form.
For the main course, the tagliatelle al ragù (yes, real Bolognese!) was absolutely sublime — the pasta perfectly al dente, the ragù slow-cooked and layered with flavor. Every bite spoke of patience, passion, and pride.
We couldn’t resist dessert — the house-made panna cotta with balsamic reduction was a perfect ending: creamy, balanced, and sophisticated.
Wine selection? Excellent — with plenty of local options that enhance the dishes beautifully.
In short, this was not just a meal. It was a celebration of Bologna’s culinary heritage. Whether you’re a traveler in search of the real Italy or a local looking for consistency and heart, this place deserves your full attention.
I can’t wait to return. Highly, highly recommended.

This place is lovely, family-run and delivers, for me, the best takes on the Bolognese classics I’ve had in the city. The tortellini, ragu, cotoletta and lasagna are genuinely superb, and the value is remarkable. Having just opened after a month’s refurb, you should go

Entrate per caso attirate dalle bellezze esposte in frigo, tortellini, tortelli, tagliatelle... Trattoria vecchio stile come piacciono a me, veniamo accolte dal sorriso del simpatico oste con l' accento tipico che ti aspetti. Abbiamo mangiato benissimo, bevuto altrettanto, pagato il giusto. Consigliato!!!

Pranzo in una domenica molto affollata dove il centro è stato preso d’assalto e tutti i ristoranti presentavano file fuori dai locali, ci fermiamo in questa trattoria perché vediamo una coppia uscire e speriamo di trovare un tavolo. Quello che si coglie è l’atmosfera di totale disorganizzazione: il personale è gentile ma smarrito e disperde energie per la mal gestione del lavoro.
Tagliere per due buono, primi discreti ma non all’altezza delle aspettative .
Ottimo il caffè. Prezzi in linea con Bologna.
