Villa Orsi In Argelato

30/06/2026: We visited this restaurant in our visit to bologna. We read some nice reviews online and we decided to give it a try since it had some good reviews about the famous beef ragu. A solid experience overall, friendly staff, no complaints on service, and the handmade, family-owned setting gives it genuine charm. That said, the ragù didn’t stand out for me: it lacked the depth and richness I was expecting. The pasta was also on the al dente side, closer to firm than tender, which may well be the authentic Bolognese standard, but it wasn’t to my taste. Would I return on my next visit to Bologna? Probably not, there are too many options in the city to repeat a restaurant that didn’t quite hit the mark. But if you value tradition and handmade cooking over bold flavour, it’s worth a visit.

21/06/2026: A great way to end our trip in a city with incredible food. This place is kind of an Italian food with a French twist, which provides a nice diversion if you're looking for some variety in your dining experience. The tortelloni carbonara was particularly fantastic and the wine selection was astounding. It's also in a quieter part of town. Super friendly staff, too.
