I migliori ristoranti in Bologna

11/07/2025: Excellent dinner, very friendly and professional service, attention to detail, pleasant background music. A warm welcome, even for our big dog. Everything was perfect. Congratulations!

28/06/2025: Exquisite food: excellent raw materials expertly cooked and prepared, combined with taste and imagination. All served with professional kindness. Paid a very honest price. Really good!

18/07/2025: Sicilian is a guarantee! A tiny place you'd never notice, but inside you'll find wonderful, delicious food. High-quality seafood paired with Sicilian flavors. I've been going there for years and it's never disappointed me. The off-menu items are also excellent, and you can pair them with a good Sicilian wine. Daniele is incredibly nice, and the kitchen is fantastic. I always recommend it to everyone, and when I want to impress guests, I bring them here. The price is a la carte, so it's not like an all-you-can-eat, but it's absolutely worth it. Since I've known it, all-you-can-eat restaurants no longer exist for me. There's only a few seats inside, but they do offer takeout. It'll be the first thing I eat after my pregnancy!! So much stuff!

07/07/2025: Dear Madam, I thank you immensely for the beautiful gesture you had towards me, full of humanity and respect for such a difficult moment, I will definitely return to your restaurant, if I was crying for a tragedy your gesture moved me even more, I will keep it in my heart forever, I really appreciated your food, excellent

23/08/2025: A great place in the center of Bologna to enjoy a good glass of wine, given the wide selection. Excellent selection of dishes and cured meats.

15/08/2025: We cycled 1,500km through Italy, and nowhere were we treated more arrogantly and poorly than here! We arrived at the restaurant in the evening and were immediately assigned a table for two. We hadn't even properly seen the space yet, and as soon as we sat down, we noticed that there was another table for two available at the other end of the room, surrounded by wine bottles, which we liked much better. It was also very loud in our area; the radio was playing at full volume, and at the next table, three people were on their phones with speakerphones, which we didn't want to do. I asked the waiter in Italian (the manager had apparently let us in) if it would be okay if we sat at the other table. He said, "Sure, no problem!" and we moved. As we were already seated, the manager stormed over to us, angrily waving his hands, and said something like, "Sorry, I guess what I picked wasn't good enough for you." He apparently couldn't bear the fact that we hadn't stayed there on his recommendation. After that, he didn't even look at us again. The younger waiter came over, served us in English, dismissed all our inquiries with a piqued and dismissive look, and simply blocked all our attempts to elicit any kind of recommendation or better advice from him. When we asked for a velvety, full-bodied red wine, he looked at us as if it were an insult. The wine arrived, but there was no further request. When the manager had to walk past us, he deliberately looked away. We actually wanted to buy some more wine, but the whole atmosphere was so unpleasant and dismissive; we also had the feeling that only friendly conversations were being had with locals and that, as tourists, we were already out of the question. A day later, we went to another enoteca, where we received very friendly advice. We chatted with the owner for half an hour about our bike trip and bought a fantastic wine. Enoteca Italiana will remain a negative memory for a long time!

26/08/2025: A very well-maintained restaurant with friendly and knowledgeable staff. The seafood dishes were excellent; there were six of us and everyone was satisfied. The desserts were also very good.

23/08/2025: We stopped by one evening and booked five minutes in advance, finding the staff helpful and friendly. The dishes looked inviting and tasted delicious; the pasta is handmade, the fish is fresh, and the location is strategic, close to the spa and other hotels. Excellent!

24/08/2025: For me, everything was top-notch! From the pizza to the atmosphere to the staff!

21/08/2025: The quality of the pizza has declined compared to the early days. The dough is very dry, and the tomato sauce and mozzarella on top are also scarce, making the dough very dry.

06/08/2025: If you really want to learn how to make pasta the right way, this class is a must. I spent two amazing weeks in Bologna, fully focused on making pasta, with the help of Alexandra and Lucia, who are both incredibly passionate and knowledgeable. From the very beginning, they gave me their full attention, teaching with great energy, hands-on practice, and helpful feedback every step of the way. This was much more than just a cooking class—it felt like a real apprenticeship. Making pasta dough by hand in the traditional way was challenging, especially at first, but thanks to their patience and expert teaching, I slowly built up my confidence and skills. This class wasn’t about shortcuts or surface-level learning. It was about really understanding the process and learning how to make pasta from scratch the right way. The lessons covered a wide variety of pasta. We started with fresh tagliatelle and moved on to stuffed pastas like tortelloni, balanzoni, mezzelune, triangoli, and their own original creation, bombette (which was seriously delicious). Each type had its own technique and style. Since it was a one-on-one class, everything was adjusted to my speed and progress, which made the learning experience even more rewarding. What I appreciated most was that Alexandra and Lucia were not only warm, fun, and easy to be around—they were also honest and clear when teaching. This wasn’t the kind of class where you only get compliments. They pointed out my mistakes without hesitation, and I’m truly thankful for that. Their high standards and strong commitment to quality really helped me improve. I left the class with solid skills and the confidence to make pasta on my own. And one last thing—the tortellini in brodo they made for me? It was by far the best dish I had during my whole stay in Bologna. A perfect bowl filled with tradition, technique, and love.

08/08/2025: We went for dinner and chose an appetizer, which was excellent, and two main courses. Lamb with artichokes and beef meatballs with Greek salad. Everything was very good. The white wine was a bit subpar; we mentioned it and it was replaced with a carafe of red, which was good but not of the highest quality. The service was excellent, with helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly staff. Highly recommended; I'll be back.

03/08/2025: Disclaimer: We've known and frequented this place for years, though not consistently. The place is right in the city center, just steps from the university area. A spacious dining room, with some outdoor seating in the summer. Fact: the food is good. The gyros (definitely a must), the sauces, and all the staples of Greek cuisine are excellent. The only drawback is that sometimes they're closed for dinner for various reasons and can be brusque/hasty. We know this, and when we go, we know the food will definitely be good, and we ignore it if it happens. It's definitely one of the best Greek restaurants in Bologna. Recommended.

23/08/2025: We've been here twice and were absolutely satisfied both times. You can feast and try all sorts of things here. There's also a solid selection of beer, wine, and sparkling wine. The lardo sandwich is a must. The cold cuts are excellent, and the wild boar goulash was also delicious! We'd love to come back.

23/08/2025: We knew this place was busier with tourists than locals so we didn't expect such good quality or variety. We love some good taglieri, but the meats were exceptional, the cheeses were nicely varied with some fun varieties, the portion was good, the bread generous. The plates have a really nice amount of acidic balance due to fruit, condiments, olives, etc... and this really makes the plate. It's busy but it moves reasonably fast and the casual atmosphere is enjoyable. We hope we get to return someday!

22/06/2025: Excellent. I can't use any other words. Excellent food, tortellini handmade by them (and it shows), amazing cotoletta bolognese, crescenti and very light, delicious tartare. Too bad I didn't try the dessert, but I was too full. Not to mention the kindness of the owner. It will mean that I will have to return.

21/06/2025: Typical trattoria in the small town of Marano on the outskirts of Bologna. The restaurant is quite small so I recommend booking. The lunch menu offers typical dishes from the area and from the Emilian tradition. The service is not very fast but it was not a problem. The dishes are made with good quality raw materials that enhance their taste. Good wine cellar. The prices are average compared to what is offered. Possibility of parking in front of the trattoria.

10/07/2025: Perfect spot to sit outside with a wine and a small plate or two in the afternoon. Really lovely.

08/07/2025: We were served by two beautiful, capable, kind and professional girls, and ate very well...

24/07/2025: Posto simpatico grande all'aperto con un sacco di tavoli. Personale veloce. Caratteristica le crescentine e le tigelle con formaggi, salumi, pesto modenese x le tigelle, e olive funghetti cipollotti Buone ma speravo meglio e porzioni piccole. Venticello che ti aiuta a riprenderti dai 40 gradi di Bologna. Prezzi buoni. Conviene prenotare è sempre pienissimo

23/07/2025: D’estate è un vero piacere salire per mangiare in questo posto. Ha tavoli all’interno e all’aperto, è pet friendly e il personale è gentilissimo. I prezzi sono onesti e il cibo semplice e buono, veramente bolognese. Crescentine ottime e abbondanti. Consigliatissimo.

26/08/2025: Very good pasta bolognese, pleasant atmosphere and very friendly staff, especially the owner or manager who shared some experiences with us.

26/08/2025: Highly recommended! Very good local food, friendly and helpful staff, cozy and clean place

08/06/2025: The bakery products are delicious but the coffee is terrible!!! Let's leave it to those who make it.

31/05/2025: Honestly loved it here. So many options! And great coffee. Thanks.

16/08/2025: Excellent food... highly recommended... the first course with Trapani pesto was a delight

20/07/2025: Nice atmosphere, delicious tagliatelle, prosciutto and parmesan, very nice owners!

20/08/2025: Friendly and prompt service, solid products. The setting, under the portico, makes up for its proximity to the adjacent parking lot.

10/08/2025: Very friendly and great croissant
