I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Bologna

03/09/2025: You can eat well at honest prices

09/08/2025: Il Pirata del Porto: the pasta was a bit of a challenge, but the sauce was a real treat A Pearl of the Sea in the Heart of Bologna I had the opportunity to dine at the "Il Pirata del Porto" restaurant in Bologna, and the experience was overwhelmingly positive. The atmosphere is welcoming and the service courteous, making my stay immediately enjoyable. For my lunch, I opted for a classic, spaghetti allo scoglio, accompanied by water and coffee, for a final bill of €22.50. The portion was generous, and above all, the sauce was remarkable: a truly rich, flavorful seafood dish that fully met my expectations. Octopus, mussels, clams, shrimp, and even lobster blended together in a well-balanced sauce, making every bite a true pleasure. If I really had to find a small criticism, it was the pasta itself. While not bad, I found it slightly overcooked, lacking the perfect al dente consistency that best enhances a dish of this type. This is a minor sin, but it detracted from the overall experience. Overall, "Il Pirata del Porto" remains an excellent choice for those looking to enjoy quality seafood in Bologna. With a little improvement in the cooking of the pasta, the dish would have been truly perfect.

27/07/2025: 🍷 An authentic and memorable culinary experience! 🍷 We had lunch at the agriturismo restaurant and were truly thrilled. The quality of the ingredients, all fresh and locally sourced, shines through in every dish: authentic flavors, generous portions, and thoughtful yet unfussy presentation. The menu respects seasonality and highlights rural tradition with a touch of creativity. The homemade first courses are unforgettable—the tagliatelle with Cinta Senese ragù was simply perfect—and the grilled meats, cooked to perfection and served with garden vegetables. The assortment of antipasti was also very popular, including local cured meats and cheeses accompanied by homemade preserves. All accompanied by a truly excellent house red wine. The staff is friendly and attentive, present but never intrusive. The atmosphere is rustic and warm, overlooking the countryside: the ideal place for a quiet, romantic, or family dinner. Fair prices for such high quality. We'll definitely be back, even just for the pleasure of tasting those authentic flavors again!

14/07/2025: It's a little out of the way but worth it, very nice place, friendly and professional staff and very good food, reasonable prices.

02/09/2025: We celebrated our wedding at the end of August at Antica Pieve and are still in awe of the beauty of this place, both we and all our guests. From the first phone call, even though we weren't familiar with the venue, Daniela won us over with her professionalism and hospitality, the wonderful photos, and the varied menu options for a typical Bolognese menu, featuring local products, dishes cooked on-site, and at competitive prices compared to Bologna. We had practically already made up our minds before even seeing the venue and trying the cuisine! Once we saw and tasted it, we were absolutely sold, and the party confirmed and exceeded every expectation. Michele, the owner's son, handled all the logistics with precision and punctuality and gave us peace of mind that everything was under control. With a little organization and the help of Daniela and Michele, we didn't need a wedding planner. Even the cake, baked that same morning by Daniela on-site, received compliments from everyone. Excellent advice on local florists and also on how to schedule the day for us, as we had the civil ceremony in Bologna that morning. Parking was convenient for our guests. A great "Plan B" option, even though we were very lucky with the weather. No one complained about the distance, because the agriturismo and its scenery make all the effort worthwhile. We are truly overjoyed and can't wait to return for dinner or another occasion. Thank you so much to everyone who worked to make this wonderful day possible!

27/08/2025: Courtesy in a charming setting and plenty of quality

22/08/2025: The fried Crescentino are excellent!

20/08/2025: Craft beers, the wheat and super bitter are perfect.

31/08/2025: Pleasant, cozy atmosphere, very courteous and impeccable service, but the food seemed very disappointing to me (apart from the pasta which is homemade).

25/08/2025: Restaurant serving typical mountain and Bolognese cuisine. The staff is friendly and always available, especially the owner. Graduation parties are also available upon reservation; mine was a success! Highly recommended for everyone: friends, families, and more.

03/07/2025: There are gluten free products, for people with food allergies. There are separate zones, clear, there are many products to choose from. There are cakes, cookies, croissants, various desserts to choose from, very appetizing, very delicious. The staff is fast and friendly.

28/05/2025: Oggi ero in via Agucchi per delle commissioni, sono passato davanti a questo laboratorio di pasticceria e sono entrato. C'è un vasto assortimento di torte e biscotti a prezzi davvero ragionevoli. Ho deciso di prendere una piccola torta di riso, di cui sono ghiotto. Veramente squisita. Peccato solo che non si possa prendere anche il caffè assieme al dolce, in quanto la Biscotteria non fa servizio bar.

01/08/2025: Highly recommended! Fresh products, punctuality, and top quality!

17/06/2025: We stopped for lunch at the deli, we had tagliatelle with ragù and tortellini in parmesan cream. Everything was delicious, the owner was very kind. If you want to try real Bolognese cuisine, stop here!

08/09/2025: A classic Bologna restaurant! Authentic local dishes with local ingredients and specialties. Charming room with atmosphere. Delightful helpful staff. Not to be missed.

05/09/2025: Having read several positive reviews about this restaurant, we decided to give it a try and we were not disappointed. Great food, impeccabile service and nice warm atmosphere! It’s obvious that the restaurant takes pride in the quality of its food. Try the traditional Bolognes - it’s so so good! The braised beef cheek was also incredible, simply melts in one’s mouth. Highly recommend!

12/09/2025: The waiters were kind and helpful. It's a shame about the coffee: undrinkable, very acidic, both the regular and the cappuccino. It's anything but a specialty coffee. And no one offered us any other varieties, so the place can't really be called a specialty coffee place. The "veneziane" were awful—maybe I'm used to bomboloni—but they have a strange-tasting pastry, and the cream fillings are practically nonexistent (seriously, half a fingernail per pastry, highly NOT RECOMMENDED). The coffee and cinnamon swirl saves the final rating: very, very good.

08/09/2025: Delicious snacks. Large selection of vegan focaccia. Outstanding coffee.

13/07/2025: Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo, i prodotti solo freschi e per la maggioranza autoprodotti. Staff disponibile e cordiale, si consiglia di prenotare

16/06/2025: Historic management with good local food at average prices!

12/09/2025: Even though it was late they served us with great professionalism and kindness.

03/09/2025: Close to the hotel del borgo, you can eat until 11 p.m., tasty drinks

19/07/2025: A welcoming, intimate yet spacious place, with very friendly staff and excellent customer-waiter interaction. The set menu is worth trying, as it's prepared with authentic ingredients and carefully selected for each course, resulting in a very well-prepared collection of dishes. A pleasant discovery...we'll be back.

22/06/2025: I came all the way from Japan to eat at this restaurant. A very relaxing place surrounded by beautiful nature. The cheerful staff explained the dishes carefully. The small roses on the table show the thoughtfulness of welcoming the guests. The chef's course, which changes weekly, allows you to taste the sauce of each dish and feel the love that has gone into each dish, making it a very valuable experience. If you tell them your wine preferences, the staff will choose the best wine for you. The chef, who has traveled all over the world and admires Japanese cuisine, has a lovely smile, and knowing that the food was made by this chef makes you even more satisfied with the food. It's a hidden place, and I'm sure even Japanese people living in Italy don't know about it, but it's a place that everyone should know about, so it would be a shame to call it a "hidden place." Open only on Friday nights, Saturday lunch and dinner, and Sunday lunch, about 40 minutes by taxi from Bologna (15 minutes by taxi from the nearest station, Pianoro). A restaurant on a hill. You can also ask the restaurant to call a taxi for you to return home. A place that everyone should visit at least once in their life, where you will create the best memories. I would like to come again with my family of three. Thank you for the best food and love.

27/07/2025: Very warm place and friendly and courteous staff!

25/07/2025: We spent a few days in Bologna, and from the first day we arrived, we were treated extremely well. They're super friendly, and everything is excellent. The price-performance ratio is excellent. The owner is a genius. The bread is delicious, and so are the croissants. Thanks for everything 😍

16/07/2025: I was quite close and I passed by, it's true I'm from the same town as Lorenzo and Matteo but I can't help but say that the place is well kept and the pizza isn't good, moreover it's special 🔝
