I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Bologna

14/08/2025: The pizzas are excellent and so are the dishes we had. I highly recommend it.

06/08/2025: When the pizza arrived, it was stuck to the cardboard, and it was raw! You can't provide this kind of service while spending more than €50 for four pizzas.

05/10/2025: Every time we pass by, we always eat here. They have amazing homemade gluten-free tortellini. The lady is really good and always tells us to let them know in advance if we want to take the gluten-free tortellini home.

04/09/2025: The place is cute, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. We ordered two first courses (tagliatelle with mushrooms), a second course (striped beef in white wine), a bottle of water, and a Coke. We paid €25. Reasonable price and good food. Recommended.

16/10/2025: Company dinner featuring pizza toppings served at the tables. The thick-crust pizza was delicious.

28/08/2025: A real Italian restaurant. Friendly waiters, delicious food, good atmosphere.😊

20/09/2025: I've had takeout from Buona Idea several times. The piadina is always good, and the staff is friendly and super helpful!

03/08/2025: Delicious piada, quality ingredients, delicious fried piada. Everything served with kindness and professionalism. Thank you!

06/10/2025: Traditional dishes, pizzas and delicious cakes.

02/10/2025: Excellent pizza! As always, the entire Windy Family is incredibly welcoming, courteous, and friendly. I highly recommend the Windy pizza!

30/06/2025: Nice place and very good pastries. Very slow service. The guy with the nose ring is very nice, the girl always seems angry.. Twice I go and twice she always has to argue with colleagues... it's not a great scene, honestly.

23/05/2025: really welcoming, pleasant and quiet environment. a stone's throw from the Borges library, it's a perfect place to unwind from studying and drink a good coffee.

07/10/2025: Personalized service, an excellent experience in Italy's gastronomic capital. We received a 10% discount for recommending the hotel. Highly recommended by JeitoCertoPortugal.

13/09/2025: Excellent food, prices in line with the quality of the raw materials

24/10/2025: My tour guide recommended this restaurant. I was fascinated by the food and Antea's service; she's a very nice lady (she speaks Spanish very well). The starter was amberjack with a finely shredded tomato and carrot salad; the main course was pasta al pomodoro; and the tiramisu for dessert. I'm still trying to decide which of the three dishes I liked best. It's not cheap, but it's worth the experience. The terrace is very pleasant.

21/10/2025: We went for dinner, the place was really well-kept, we tried mortadella crealscetine and tagliatelle with ragù, the wine was top notch... The food was excellent!! Very friendly staff, rare for Bologna 😅. Highly recommended.

18/10/2025: We had a small event, very pleasant

17/10/2025: Truly delicious tagliatelle Bolognese! It's exactly what I imagined in Bologna. The service is also super friendly!

14/10/2025: Nice place, the problem is that the prices don't match those on the menu, like focaccia with cured meats for €2, but at the register it's €5. My answer: I actually thought it was only €2, but I trust what's written, and yes, it's not at all clear! Thanks for the edit, but it's not nice to tell a customer that "no one has ever misunderstood except you," since the person who misunderstood might not have told you, so you can't be sure.

21/09/2025: The drinks here were very good. The Pinot Grigio was also good, even though it was only served by the bottle (despite the noticeboard suggesting it was served by the glass). The area in front of the bar is very nice. Unfortunately, the drains always smelled a bit strong. But that's not the bar's fault.

22/09/2025: A shameful experience, to say the least. We booked a table for pizza and, after a 40-minute drive, we were told, almost annoyed, that... the pizzas were sold out. At 9 PM on a Saturday night. In a restaurant/pizzeria. Really? Not only no apology, but a hasty and indifferent attitude, as if the problem was ours and not theirs. Is this how you treat guests who have booked? Kudos to you for your professionalism. Luckily, we found refuge at La Gardenia pizzeria, which, despite being busy, welcomed us courteously and served us excellent pizzas in record time: proof that with a little organization and respect, it can be done. I had learned about Il Portone through word of mouth among colleagues. After this evening, I'll be the one to spread the word myself, but to discourage it from anyone. Mistakes due to disorganization are acceptable, but rudeness and discourtesy are not! UPDATE: I'm updating my review based on the response I received from the owners. I'm truly perplexed by the tone of the response. First of all, customers aren't well-informed, so the pizza issue needs to be clearly specified when booking, which wasn't done; it's certainly not the customer's concern, especially since on other occasions we hadn't encountered any problems, nor were we asked for specifics regarding what we wanted to eat. The second observation I'd like to make is that, in this aggressive response, only at the end is an apology for a perceived rudeness by the customer, not for the poor service caused, which is objective, given that at 9 p.m. we were forced to look for another place to dine. Luckily, we found one. As for the ostentatious (!!!) display of our dissatisfaction, I think it's completely natural given the circumstances. Not only couldn't you tell us if we could dine (!!!), but we were treated condescendingly, with obvious annoyance and disinterest. I'd like to add that we're not discrediting anyone here, but simply stating the plain truth, for the benefit of future customers. I'll conclude with a suggestion: if, as you write, large numbers aren't always compatible with your quality, perhaps you need to rethink your management and communications system. Don't blame the customer, who certainly isn't to blame and just wanted to grab a pizza and spend a night out. Instead, I see a lot of attention paid to online reviews, especially those that (legitimately) report poor service.

14/09/2025: The cotoletta alla bolognese was delicious, truly tasty and well-made. A charming and well-kept place for an evening with your partner, family, or friends. Friendly staff. Definitely worth returning.

04/03/2025: Mi è parso un po' sovrastimato, pietanze buone ma in dosi modeste e non poi così originali (parere personale), non una grande efficienza in sala ma accettabile. La cosa terrificante è stata l'acustica: a sala piena è impossibile un minimo di conversazione fra due persone senza urlare, a parte l'oggettivo fastidio; era presente la titolare, a cui lo abbiamo fatto notare "a mo' di battuta" la quale ha replicato che di solito non è così (impossibile: è proprio un difetto della sala, una cosa strutturale). Contento di averlo provato, ma tolto subito dalla lista e mai più tornato; nota: ho messo "2024" perchè la data più vecchia che consente il sistema, ma la mia esperienza era precedente di alcuni anni.

04/02/2025: I've been to this restaurant several times, and the food is excellent. Unfortunately, I have to leave a negative review. I made a dinner reservation and tried to receive confirmation via email. I never received any confirmation. After several days, I was simply sent an automatic response (via Quandoo) about the cancellation of the reservation, without even providing any explanation. I'd say that's not how customers should be treated. Good food goes hand in hand with respect and good manners. P.S.: There's no point in sending emails; they don't respond, and calling is anyone's guess, since they're not even open for lunch.

26/09/2025: Without a doubt, the best deli in Bologna. Not only for the superb quality of the products, but also for the kindness of the entire staff. I can only say great things about La Fermata del Gusto. A thank you from the taste buds and from the heart.

26/09/2025: Excellent cured meats and cheeses. A bit pricey. But you know, quality comes at a price.
