Trattoria Leonida In Bologna

06/04/2025: We came here because of the numerous good reviews, but I wasn't very enthusiastic: you have to like the fact that some antipasti are already prepared at the table (the liver spread has clearly been there for a long time) as well as open bottles of wine and water. In addition to the antipasti that were already available, fresh ones were also served without asking what you wanted. Afterwards we both had a pasta dish. We skipped the secondo so we still had room for dessert. The meringue cake was very good, I've had better Zuppa Inglese. It seems to be a business model here to make the guests so full with antipasti and primi that they tend to forego the secondo, because it was the same at the other tables and the waiter immediately offered us this option. Afterwards we had an espresso and two grappa and paid 120 euros. There was no menu or price list anywhere at the table and for me this price was clearly too high for what was on offer.

26/02/2025: The staff and the owner were friendly, I didn't like finding the dishes already on the table, grilled aubergines, mortadella and liver pâté, as well as the wine already opened. Honestly, I didn't find any food cooked in a special way, the desserts delicious, the price high for what we ate
