I migliori ristoranti in Bologna

15/03/2026: Excellent Sunday lunch, superb lasagna, delicious mushroom scallops, and truly exquisite homemade desserts, all at a more than fair price! Well done, ladies!

13/03/2026: We had a great time and everything was delicious. The service was quick and the ladies were very kind. It's a very cozy little place right in the center.

24/02/2026: The facility was very beautiful. The room, we paid a little more for a superior one, was very nice. Beautiful bathroom, very clean, and a very comfortable bed. The spa was decent; let's say the pool was nice, along with the saunas and relaxation areas—minimum for a super 4-star hotel. My wife and I settled into a couple of loungers. I was just starting to relax and detox from a particularly stressful week when a receptionist arrived. She asked me if my wife's lounger next to me was occupied. I replied yes, and that my wife was three meters ahead of us, taking a dip in the pool. She kindly replied that it wasn't possible to use the loungers with towels or bathrobes. During the tour of the spa, we were only told to hang up our bathrobes. (We did this immediately.) The rule, however, I learned later, is that if you get up, you have to take everything away and hang it up. So if my wife gets up for a dip, she has to hang everything up, and if the spot is taken, she'll go somewhere else (and I'll get a new companion to chat with). I've been to many spas, but I've never seen anything like this. However, I want to give the hotel credit: the rule is there to make it easier for people to find a spot, given that the space is small, or at least not large enough for everyone to fit in during peak times. It's a shame that the rule is poorly written and explained (the feeling, as with us, is that it's not explained at all), with the predictable result that no one respects it. When I got up to take a bath, I took everything away. A guy, as soon as he saw me take my stuff away, came over, took my spot with his towel, and came to bathe with me. I then couldn't find a seat because all the seats were occupied with bathrobes or towels. No one respected the rule or seemed to know about it. Frankly, for a super 4-star hotel, this is a completely senseless management. Moreover, the attendant who spoke to me was clearing all the loungers, including those belonging to people in the sauna or elsewhere. When the occupant returned, someone else, unaware of the procedure, had taken up residence there in the meantime. The attendant only showed up once, long enough to ruin my spa experience. If you have rules, you're either in a position to enforce them effectively, or you forget it. A terrible experience that did everything but relieve stress... quite the opposite. The restaurant was expensive, but I must say the food was good. The prices were moderately high, the celery and chickpea hummus for €20 was unacceptable (I don't think calling it celery tataki changes the issue). The service was poor, with several minor errors and slowness. It was unforgivable that, when I asked for a specific wine, they brought me another one, the same grape variety but a different winery, without saying anything at all. The waiter simply started pouring the wine into my glass. When I reported it, I was told the one I'd chosen was sold out. If we'd been staying at a tavern, it would have been fine. Breakfast, again in keeping with the hotel's ostentatious lineage, was the bare minimum. The staff was very courteous and efficient. Special mention goes to the girl with glasses, the smartest and the only one, or almost, up to the task. The parking garage procedure was absurd. It's fine that you have to stop in one of the busiest parts of town to pick up the remote control from reception for the parking lot, which is 400 meters from the hotel. But having to return it at checkout, drive back to the hotel, find a parking spot in the busy area, get out, etc., is simply not an option. Furthermore, only after some persistence did it emerge that we could leave the remote control in a special mailbox in the garage itself. Hmm... In short, a very nice place. It's a shame about the haphazard management, which often doesn't live up to the star rating and asking price. It would take very little to make a stay pleasant.

23/02/2026: An excellent retreat for a few relaxing days. Beautiful room and well-maintained spa area.

01/04/2026: Excellent pizza, desserts, and service. Giorgia and the entire staff were very kind and helpful, with average prices.

31/03/2026: Good and rich pizza, minimal atmosphere, attentive and fast service, with young and willing guys

13/03/2026: A fantastic venue in the heart of Bologna, right under the Asinelli Towers. The atmosphere is truly unique: friendly people and an energy that makes for a super fun evening. The drinks are well-made, and the staff is very friendly and helpful—you can tell they're passionate about what they do. It's the perfect place to start the evening with friends or just linger and enjoy some great music.

09/03/2026: So far the best place I've found in Bologna, really good spritz, excellent food and very friendly staff, now a regular stop on every outing

11/04/2026: A wonderful experience at this restaurant in the center of Bologna. Excellent food (and the wines and liqueurs as well), a welcoming atmosphere, a true Apennine feel, and super friendly staff. We'll definitely be back!

11/04/2026: Cozy and nice place. Good food.

07/04/2026: A tasteful oasis in the Imola hills! This intimate, welcoming restaurant is where talented and passionate chef Andrea Berardi creates delicious, creative, and visually stunning dishes. The wait staff was impeccable: friendly, professional, and welcoming. Perfect for a quiet dinner or an unforgettable birthday celebration. I highly recommend it!

30/03/2026: A charming place with an intimate and welcoming atmosphere. We had dinner here on Sunday evening. The dishes were very carefully prepared and of excellent quality, and the service was also superb. We'll definitely recommend this restaurant and return now that we've discovered it.

11/04/2026: Special restaurant surrounded by murals, fast service and very good quality food, I went for an anniversary and I would say that the choice was excellent

10/04/2026: The atmosphere seems pleasant due to its rustic and original appearance. But the food... for goodness sake! Meager dishes improvised with the pretense of refinement: sliced ​​steak with 6 pieces of tough, unseasoned meat... garnished with 2-3 leaves of tasteless boiled fennel and a half-raw wedge of red cabbage... Not to mention the meager dessert portions and the exorbitant prices!!! You leave the table feeling hungry: absolutely not recommended!!!!

21/02/2026: Expensive and watery Campari Spritz

02/11/2025: We kept seeing a line outside of this gelateria so we had to try it. Solid gelato.

21/12/2025: Very cosy place and the food is delicious. Ask for the cauliflower nuggets, won’t miss with those!

20/12/2025: I've been to this very cute and well-kept place several times! Excellent food, especially the ramen with wontons. Delicious cocktails 🤩

27/09/2025: Highly recommended grocery store! Not far from Rocchetta Mattei is Luana's grocery store. She's incredibly kind and friendly. She showed us so many products with great passion and professionalism, and finally made us our sandwiches. Delicious! We'll definitely be back.

12/09/2025: a tiny shop on the side of the road and a very kind lady who makes excellent sandwiches at a very low price

03/01/2026: Qualified staff. I had the piadinas, which were truly delicious. I also recommend it because the piadinas are made fresh.

13/12/2025: Best piada ever, super friendly staff, and a beautiful place! Highly recommended!

03/01/2026: Amazing selections of salty and sweet breads. Croissant are really good

01/01/2026: Excellent breakfast, excellent local cafe with large and bright seating, professional and friendly staff

12/04/2026: We went to Trattoria Amedea for lunch, a small place, kind and professional staff, average food (portions not very large) and above all a hefty bill (€48 per person).

10/04/2026: Not a very positive experience.... The photos on the website don't match the reality... For one, the Cotoletta Bologna, I wouldn't say unspeakable but almost... Pappardelle ai porcini tasted only of grease, the porcini mushrooms were non-existent and the portion was really small for a 15 euro dish... the only positive note was the tortellini, which were really good... It wasn't the first time we went to this place but tonight we were really disappointed... Maybe we just had the wrong night for the food... Very friendly service

20/01/2026: Excellent dishes, very typical location…what can I say, perfect!

04/01/2026: It's really delicious! I especially recommend the barbecue! The grilled toast, grilled rice cakes, and grilled pork belly are all amazing! Especially with the garlic chili sauce!!! The hot pot is also great, with many options. And if you want to try different things, you can combine smaller portions!!! It's also very friendly to vegetarians. Besides, I highly recommend the crispy pork. Although it's not the traditional crispy pork (it's sliced, fried, and cut into strips), it's still very tasty! I've ordered takeout many times, and I also highly recommend the lazy-person hot pot. The only problem is that it has pig's blood, which I don't eat, hahaha. But if you mind, you can tell the restaurant in advance, hahaha. The service is excellent!!! Especially the two young ladies!!! I want to give them a shout-out! The food comes out incredibly fast!!! The restaurant isn't very big, but there are quite a few seats. I recommend making a reservation in advance during holidays. I also highly recommend bringing foreign friends; the staff will kindly tell you how long to cook the food, etc.

08/04/2026: I went as a couple for traditional Neapolitan mussel soup on Holy Thursday (the only one available in Bologna), but I wasn't at all impressed with the hard, almost inedible freselle, the lack of sauce, and the dry, cold seafood. Fortunately, the michelemmà appetizer served before the soup somewhat made up for it. The service was good, thanks to a fast, efficient, and polite waiter. For three courses and dessert, we spent €100, but we weren't entirely satisfied. In conclusion, the place was probably a bit too loud, with the outdoor dining area full, though adjacent to the indoor one, and a karaoke night that had already started at 8:15 PM. In my opinion, certain "extra" activities should be postponed a bit later in the evening, at least so everyone can enjoy their dinner in peace and quiet, and then, perhaps, we can do/endure something else.

05/04/2026: Everything was excellent. The fish was incredibly fresh, the dishes were generous, and the prices were very reasonable. The staff and owners were helpful and professional. Highly recommended.
