I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina bolognese in Bologna

06/05/2026: A charming spot, opposite the Rocca di Dozza, the castle's former stables. The staff are friendly, helpful, and courteous. Authentic, traditional dishes with a touch of creativity.

24/04/2026: Great food just take care they sell some very costly pieces of beef - Wagyu and black ox make sure to check with servers.

10/06/2026: A typical Italian trattoria - cozy, affordable and delicious.

08/06/2026: Amazing pasta alla bolognese, very nice and friendly staff)

01/06/2026: Amazing place, truffle tortellini, meat, fried porcini mushrooms, and Patrizia, a wonderful person. Too bad we couldn't return for lunch!!

31/05/2026: Nice place, delicious homemade food. Just a few minutes from the highway, you can enjoy traditional food. Friendly staff! Thank you. Ample parking.

11/06/2026: Very good. And they speak a little Spanish and you can trust the waiters' recommendations.

04/06/2026: This is hands down the best homemade bread you can find in Italy! The rabbit leg and pasta were absolutely amazing. Sadly, as a young couple, our appetites were too small to try more, but we sincerely wish we could come back to taste the rest of the menu. On top of that, the restaurant’s decor and paintings are beautiful—the elderly lady who runs the shop has incredible taste in both food and interior design. Highly recommended!

01/04/2026: Quick midweek lunch. I'm celiac and had one of the best gluten-free Bolognese cutlets I've ever tasted, accompanied by fries. Gluten-free dishes are marked with an arugula leaf, which is always a good thing! They also have a few gluten-free pasta shapes: spaghetti, penne, and tagliatelle.

29/03/2026: A welcoming, typical Emilian trattoria, excellent prices, generous, high-quality dishes. (The Bolognese cutlet is very good and even huge, pictured, and shared between two.)

07/05/2026: In response: First of all, I wanted to abstain from commenting because, as you point out, I had to communicate my intolerance. You should write (by law) all the ingredients on that blackboard called the “menu” (even the Chinese know it by now) that was placed on a chair, especially if there is no trace of “tradition” (Gianna’s Bolognese cutlet, I don’t expect a brick of cream on top, it was an insult to Bologna and to Gianna. Write what you put on top since I see that I’m not the only one among the reviews who didn’t imagine this way of understanding a Bolognese cutlet). In crescentine I have always known/seen/eaten/made with dough where there was little presence of milk (on 1/2 kg of flour 140ml of milk, are you really saying/equating the presence of lactose in crescentine with that cutlet where there was almost 100ml of cream on top! Slightly different proportions and I ate 2 crescentine, not 10, luckily at this point) not as you say that you also put cream there, as SHE specified. Then thanks for the clarification at the table, I advise you for the next customers to connect "the facial expression" to what you say if you call it "kindness" to me, it only seemed arrogance and "annoyance" for the return of the dish, where due to your carelessness this happened. But I did well, I'm sorry to say, since those like me who had that dish had a stomach ache all night without even having an intolerance, but a normal stomach, so much cream is bad for anyone! Anyway, we've all learned our lesson, especially about where not to return. Edit: The mistake is not writing the ingredients on each dish or using cream to hide a lack of ability to create "new dishes." When you go to a traditional trattoria, you expect that, not what we all saw and ate yesterday. When one of us asked for a regular grilled steak, you couldn't even make that, I mean... come on... and not having a real menu is truly sad and risks these problems. Then, oh, my partner worked at the Abbazia di Monteveglio restaurant, perhaps he wants to discredit even such a twenty-year-old excellence, or perhaps he thinks he's talking to a fool who doesn't know what good Emilian cuisine is?! And I'm already sorry he continues with his arrogance, I'll do the same, but there's nothing "della Gianna" about it. Being local, I remember how it was eaten, and it wasn't what I saw yesterday. Out of 10 dishes, 5 had cream. Let's leave aside the tagliatelle with friggione, to season the tigelle and crescentine, very little for the two baskets ordered. Looking at the other reviews, some people like your food, good for you, but I repeat, don't think I was the only one who didn't appreciate it yesterday, on the contrary. What I recognize is the right balance between quality and price, both of which are in fact low. Your staff was very kind, it was your way of addressing the problem and why 1 star. Eating badly happens, but I can't stand this rudeness. A little self-criticism doesn't hurt. Oh, we were the largest table yesterday, and then there are people who eat fried cockroaches in China just to try it, so there are also those who love cream and will eat anything. If you want, we can continue the back-and-forth like this. Have a good day, good work, and I wish you the best.

30/04/2026: Always the best! Excellent value for money

13/06/2026: Positive experience. However, I didn't appreciate the complete lack of a menu with table prices.

12/06/2026: We had a great time and a better lunch, super convenient price.

29/04/2026: Excellent food, very kind owners, basic atmosphere.

26/04/2026: A nice trattoria rather than a restaurant, the owner is very nice.

02/05/2026: Always original recipes and excellent raw materials

29/04/2026: The Casalecchio location was recommended by friends, and it's simply fantastic. We sat down for a quick first course, but ended up eating two each due to the incredible quality of the ingredients. You can also buy fresh pasta, and the staff's kindness is unparalleled. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area. Thank you so much.

05/05/2026: The only flaw, but also a characteristic, of this place is its small size. Very good service and an impeccable menu for those who want a true taste of typical Bolognese cuisine. Below-average prices for what you get and excellent portions!

02/05/2026: The lamb chops were inedible because they were so tough. It was so messy inside that you couldn't even talk to your neighbor.

04/04/2026: Six of us arrived for dinner after making a reservation over the phone on Wednesday evening. The place is small but nice. We'd eaten there many times before. The lady who seated us and served us the entire evening had an unacceptable, almost aggressive, attitude. Anyone can have a bad day—some of us work in the restaurant industry—but such rudeness toward someone who's out enjoying a fun evening with friends is absolutely not acceptable. The food was mediocre, nothing special, and the bread wasn't served until the plates arrived, I imagine to prevent people from eating it first and asking for seconds. In short, zero hospitality. We, who are from Bologna, will definitely never return.

31/03/2026: 1000/10 Speechless! Everything was fantastic! 🫶🏻

16/05/2026: A very well-kept and pleasant restaurant, even in the garden area. The menu isn't overly extensive, but it offers a good selection, allowing you to choose the dishes best suited to your hunger and tastes. The dishes we tried were of good quality, both in terms of ingredients and preparation, and the price was quite reasonable for a place like Bologna, which is very expensive. Overall, very satisfying and highly recommended. UPDATE: Unfortunately, downgrading from 5 stars to 1, because mistakes can happen, but if they're as serious as they were tonight, they deserve an apology. And I won't go into the merits of the mistake, which was extremely serious.

12/05/2026: Good and unusual food, excellent service and friendliness

10/06/2026: A mixed review and, more importantly, a warning for families managing food allergies. We visited with our 10m old baby, who has an egg allergy. We specifically ordered plain pasta without egg - in bianco- for her, and were served a small portion of boiled penne. Unfortunately, she later experienced an allergic reaction. We were informed that, although the pasta itself did not contain egg, it had been cooked in the same water as other pasta varieties that do contain egg. Thankfully, the reaction was mild, but this is something the restaurant should take into consideration when catering to customers with allergies. What surprised us even more was that we were charged €10 for the small portion of plain boiled pasta (when an adult normal portion of pasta is no more than €15). The dishes we ordered for ourselves were good, and we would have considered returning. However, given the allergy issue and the charge for the baby’s pasta, our overall experience was somewhat disappointing.

08/06/2026: We made a reservation for 7pm specifically asking for an outside table, but when we arrived they made us sit downstairs inside, even though the outside area was almost empty. We had dogs with us in a dog carrier cart, so sitting outside would have been much easier and more comfortable. What made the experience worse was that an older man waiter downstairs started making negative comments about us in Italian after seeing the dogs, apparently assuming we wouldn’t understand. Very unprofessional and unpleasant behavior. The food was okay, but honestly nothing special and definitely not worth the attitude. Overall a disappointing experience and not recommended.

02/05/2026: I have a new favorite restaurant here in Bologna! The atmosphere is welcoming, the staff is friendly and always ready, helpful, and attentive. The food is truly excellent! There's both a meat and fish menu, and pizzas are also available in the evening. We had fish, and what can I say, it was delicious!!! Highly recommended!

01/05/2026: A welcoming venue, ideal for large groups, with live music and friendly staff. Excellent value for money.

15/04/2026: Great restaurant, popular with locals. Delicious tiramisu.

15/04/2026: Excellent thank you 👌 maccheroncini all'ortica con friggione and tiramisu, hearty and very very good.
