Crescentine far exceeded my expectations; ordering the cheese and mixed cheese platter, I was able to see some dishes and combinations of ingredients that strike the perfect balance between tradition and experimentation in Bolognese cuisine.
A note of praise is that due to internal misunderstandings, I had asked to cancel a dish; they gave it to me anyway, but they offered it to me instead, a gentlemanly gesture that's hard to find these days.
(…Plus, I'd forgotten a personal item, and the staff was incredibly kind.)

A great place for our large group of friends in Bologna to celebrate my wife's 50th birthday. We wanted something easy so we wouldn't spend too much time at the table, but still tasty, and we were satisfied! The service was quick, unexpectedly so given the number of diners, so much so that the appetizers arrived almost immediately after we ordered. They were delicious, too: the tigelle and crescentine, the various cured meats, and the fried tortellini... but what really thrilled me was the cheese plate with its toppings, absolutely amazing.
We also enjoyed the various tagliatelle, lasagna, tortellini in broth, and cotolette alla Bolognese... all washed down with a nice Lambrusco! The desserts were also good, and the price was reasonable for what we ate and drank. Perhaps the worst part was that we celebrated a bit noisily, and I apologize to the staff, who were otherwise very kind. One last note: The restaurant, along with many others, is located inside the Mercato delle Erbe, right in the city center. It's very convenient and has an informal and original atmosphere. What can I say... a perfect choice!

I think this is a good place to eat, but like many businesses in dense tourist areas especially ones that serve food it suffers from a bit of tourist fatigue. Something that is unavoidable but something all customers should be aware so they can be patient with the friendly staff.

I must say it was a great experience, sampling local cuisine: the cheese platter, polenta sticks, tortelli with parmesan cream and vegetables, all excellent. The service was quick and the staff were friendly. My only complaint was that I was a bit cold, but that was because I had a table near the door. Otherwise, I highly recommend trying this osteria!

Food wise it was just ok.
Not a bad place to eat when is the market but compared to what bologna has to offer it’s not up there on my list.

Welcoming atmosphere, very friendly, attentive, and helpful service!
The food is excellent, with many vegetarian and vegan options. The vegan soft-center cake is delicious!
A gem in the heart of the herb market, fantastic!
