Trattoria del Gallo In Castel maggiore

Here there is no need to decide whether to go, you just go. Excellent does not define the goodness of the food served.

I'm a regular customer always a guarantee one of the best in the area

The atmosphere is very characteristic and informal. The strong point is the cuisine, which is truly excellent for those seeking tradition.

..good food, very nice atmosphere, professionalism

Good food, nothing to say, I would go back but for me it's not 5 stars, in my opinion... See you next time. (We had 1 first course, 1 second course, and a dessert for two, 1 liter of wine)

Good, good, good. PERIOD! They're a guarantee, and whenever I can go, I don't miss it. I usually take advantage of it when I'm on the way home, but that's not often, so when I can, I enjoy it to the fullest.

Lunch for 9 with a reservation. The restaurant was very large, a bit noisy, and cold. Service was slow and not particularly friendly: menus were only available upon request because orders were taken "under the guidance" of the waitress. Special mention goes to Sara: she was smiling and kind. An hour's wait for the first courses, which arrived after two tables (one even holding 10+ people) were seated after us. Tortellini never arrived, and only three portions of tagliatelle with meat sauce at 1:00 PM: not great for a restaurant in the Bologna area. It's a shame because the food was otherwise decent! The trio of pasta dishes was decent, the mixed grill was tasty, and the desserts were average, with crème caramel and zuppa inglese being very good. Portions were adequate. Simple trattoria-style wine. The bill was fair. It would be 2.5⭐️

I've been a longtime customer of yours, but I have to say the price has increased exponentially. We've been regularly having company lunches with you for the past 6 or 7 years, and the food has always been excellent and we're very satisfied. Eating the same exact food, we went from spending €41 per person last year (2024) to €55 this year (2025). Can I say I feel a bit betrayed by a 34% increase? Next year, we'll go to another restaurant.

A good trattoria near the province of Bologna. Traditional dishes are well-prepared and served in generous portions; the Bolognese cutlet is also quite good. Average prices.

Super friendly, attentive, and professional staff. The food was very tasty and beautifully presented. They even accepted our last-minute reservation over the phone and greeted us with a big smile upon our arrival. I would gladly return.
