I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina bolognese in Bologna

27/07/2026: Excellent value for money... Very pleasant and a beautiful setting.

23/07/2026: Loved, loved the seafood pasta and another seafood dish at this restaurant with Amalfi roots/ties; beautiful ceramic plates from that area, also; they took us in even around 30 minutes before closing; service was great; will definitely go back

09/08/2026: The atmosphere is super welcoming, the traditional Bolognese dishes are truly delicious, and special mention goes to the super kind, helpful, and friendly waitress. I highly recommend them.

04/08/2026: Disproportionate quality-price ratio, quality needs to be reviewed as well as quantity, excellent location, kind but not very attentive service

09/07/2026: You feel like you're part of the family. Gramigna and top-notch cutlet.

09/07/2026: Authentic dishes, highly recommended!

15/07/2026: I visited here for lunch during my vacation in Bologna. Just walked by and looked very authentic so I decided to eat here, without checking reviews or anything. The food was all amazing and the waiter was really friendly. I wish I had more days so I could visit here again and try more dishes. Next time when I'm in Bologna I will definitely visit here again!

07/07/2026: Very authentic and with regional cuisine. Always a pleasure!

31/07/2026: I can't believe I discovered a place like this... ONLY NOW! I come to Bologna almost every week and finally took the opportunity to come here, after so many good reviews from Bolognese friends... Honestly, I was blown away by the first courses, tagliatelle and tortelloni with cream and ham... but the fillet with porcini mushrooms I had... butter... delicious, delicious potatoes, and wonderful zuppa inglese! This place is a rare gem, a super BOLOGNESE restaurant! Absolutely unmissable (very fair prices, even too much so).

31/07/2026: Exceptional, I went with my partner by chance since we were staying in Zaragoza and we ate divinely. Tagliatelle with ragù, just the right amount of greasy and not heavy, tortelli stuffed with ricotta and spinach with ham and a little cream were exceptional. But the best part came with the second courses, also very generous: a fillet with porcini mushrooms and a strip of arugula and Grana Padano, cooked as requested, no more and no less, with exceptional sautéed potatoes on the side. Truly the best Bolognese I've had in 40 years! I'll be back as soon as I'm back in Bologna and I can tell you that despite the 40-degree heat today, everything tasted great and was super digestible despite the "heaviness" of the dishes chosen, super digestible!!! To finish, a zuppa inglese, which alone was enough for two of us. Definitely go there.

04/03/2026: In the Navile area, just off exit 5 of the Tangenziale, we tried this restaurant for lunch, which seems to belong to another world. The owner is fantastic, both in his insight and his friendliness, the waitresses are smart and knowledgeable, and the dishes are incredibly delicious. Egg with truffle and eggplant meatballs as appetizers, saffron risotto and rabbit as first courses, and the inevitable vanilla ice cream drizzled with balsamic vinegar. With a mezzana of Sangiovese and two coffees, we spent €106 for two. More than fair: Highly recommended!

28/02/2026: A high-end restaurant serving top-quality dishes. Excellent selection of dishes, quite extensive without being overbearing, with original and traditional options. Service by friendly staff and a charming manager, delicious bread and breadsticks! Fantastic venison tortelloni and truly delicious Angus steak, tender and flavorful meat, baked potatoes just like grandma's. Simple but perfect choices. Even the more unusual dishes ordered by friends at our table were truly excellent. The pure Merlot was perfect. The Passito and desserts were good, especially the crème caramel. The price was high, but that was expected regardless. Recommended for an elegant, high-quality dinner.

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.

09/08/2026: very good overall experience. broad menu of traditional dishes. server very helpful in understanding the menu. a full glass of ice provided when requested.

07/08/2026: A truly excellent experience! We ate magnificent dishes, prepared with great care and truly delicious. We started with an excellent veal with tuna sauce and eggplant parmigiana accompanied by a simply spectacular, creamy, and incredibly delicious burrata. For our first course, we chose ricotta-filled tortellini with butter and sage, delicate and perfectly balanced, and tagliatelle with Bolognese ragù, the city's great specialty: truly delicious! The restaurant also has a quiet and pleasant atmosphere, an air-conditioned dining room—a favorite in the summer—and a convenient location right in the city center. A tavern I recommend without hesitation and definitely deserves a higher rating: for us, at least 4.6–4.7 on Google. One of the best gastronomic experiences of our stay in Bologna!

02/08/2026: Typical Bolognese trattoria, kind and knowledgeable owners, we had a great time, excellent tagliatelle alla bolognese

23/07/2026: A wonderful discovery during our vacation in Bologna! This typical Italian restaurant was recommended to us by a woman we met earlier that afternoon, and we weren't disappointed. We had a fantastic time there with friends. The dishes were delicious, prepared with high-quality ingredients and bursting with flavor. The staff is incredibly kind, welcoming, and always smiling, which made the experience even more enjoyable. And what can we say about the setting? Dining under the arcades of Bologna is a true delight and adds a unique charm to the meal. An excellent place that we highly recommend!

07/07/2026: Finally, seven months after moving to Bologna, we've found a truly traditional trattoria to return to whenever we can. Il Mulino is everything we love: excellent, plentiful food that warms the heart as well as the stomach, welcoming and attentive service; the owners are adorable. The friendly atmosphere, in the leafy suburbs, makes two provincials like us, who don't like the noise of the city center, feel right at home. The prices are more than fair for the truly excellent quality. We'll be back soon, alone and with friends 💜

06/07/2026: We ended up here by accident. It was the only restaurant open so late. It's far from the tourist hotspots, at the end of a cul-de-sac on the outskirts of town. We were served by a waiter who spoke English. We asked for traditional dishes from the region. What he recommended was delicious ☺️!!!!! The kids also enjoyed themselves, even though they rarely try new things. I highly recommend it. It's a must-see on any trip to Bologna.

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

08/08/2026: Excellent, especially the fish! Spectacular sea bream, cleaned on the spot.

07/08/2026: Very popular, a sign of excellent quality

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.

09/08/2026: Excellent restaurant... friendly staff who give good advice... good and plentiful dishes... excellent quality and price too... I recommend...

31/07/2026: Delicious food and a perfect location, right next to the main Dozza castle. I loved it! But it closes at 3 pm and only opens at 7 pm. So you have to arrive by 2 pm.

09/08/2026: The restaurant is welcoming and the food is good. Unfortunately, I have to give the atmosphere 2 stars, even though I would have given 0 not because of the restaurant itself but because of the people who frequent it. Today, at lunch, there were 6 of us, including a person celebrating his 85th birthday, and we were attacked by a young man who was probably tipsy (to say the least). He came to our table in a very aggressive manner, insulting us with his tone of voice, placing his hands on our table, and was soon joined by other threatening diners. I've been in that place many times before, and obviously the problem is the space. It's small, crowded, and noisy, so sometimes it's hard to speak, but even with large tables present or celebrations, we didn't bother. We never dared to intervene, perhaps because we're more sober and mature. If we were a nuisance, it was enough to simply address us politely or point it out to the waiter and ask us to lower our voices. On the other hand, we didn't really believe we were in church. I understand that alcohol and heat can get to your head, but given the behavior of the employees and owner, who hid in other areas when there was aggressive tone towards us, we will definitely not go again, and I strongly advise against the place for normal people who want to enjoy a fun, worry-free time, especially if they're in the company of elderly, slightly deaf people. I'm following up on the owner's response, which confirms that he and the entire staff walked away without hearing anything about how things went. The tone was definitely not the same at both tables, so much so that even the table of three next to us was shocked and reassured us that we weren't bothering anyone. Above all, no one at our table dared to make comments or treat them rudely or insult them. It's just not in our DNA, not even in this review, where it's clearly stated that the staff, upon seeing and hearing that someone had approached our table shouting insults, should have intervened, asking them to tone it down and telling them that if there were any problems, they should have told you, and that you would resolve them with the kindness and smile you normally bring to the table. It's no coincidence that you gave your food and service 5 stars. However, given your response, if we had wanted to return, we definitely won't. I hope for your business that the kind guests present today aren't the same as your regular customers. Good luck.

02/08/2026: Always a certainty about tradition.
