05/05/2026: Excellent quality service and food. Very professional.
04/05/2026: We tried Ristorante Al Cambio to celebrate my father-in-law's birthday. We were on a waiting list, and I was contacted immediately when a table became available: it had been on my wishlist for years, and I'd been waiting for the right opportunity to try it. Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly and courteously. We were shown to a large, well-set round table, positioned in front of the entrance—a slightly secluded area away from the main dining room, directly across from the coat rack and the service door to the restrooms. Once seated, they brought us the menu, asked for water, and offered us a taste of mortadella with a bread basket. It was a shame there were no small plates for either mortadella or bread, a detail I would have expected in such a refined setting. The menu offers a nice selection of traditional Bolognese dishes. The quality of the food was very good: the charcuterie platter, meant for two, is, in my opinion, more suited to one (two slices of each of the five types, with squaquerone and giardiniera). Lasagna and tortellini were truly well executed. The roast beef was good, though not quite what I imagined (two thighs coated in stock on mashed potatoes); the cheek was also very good. The real sore point, unfortunately, was the service, and I'm sorry to point this out, especially since, looking at the other tables, it seemed to be different. Perhaps due to the more secluded location, we felt a bit neglected in an environment where I expected more "pampered" attention. My order was taken quickly, the wine list arrived only later, and the dishes were served before I could even order a bottle. That bottle, incidentally, was slow in arriving: my husband had already finished his plate. Furthermore, when it came to service, no one explained the cured meats on my plate; I would have liked to know what I was tasting because everything was so good. The desserts were also very good: exceptional standing milk and zuppa inglese with a freshly poured chocolate drizzle. At the end of the meal, complimentary madeleines, followed by coffee and the bill.
For a €270 lunch, I honestly expected a different level of attention and service. Nevertheless, I was pleased to have eaten very well and been welcomed. Thank you.
