I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Bologna

23/11/2025: When I arrived, they asked me how many people I was in. I said I was alone, and they told me there was no room for me; the restaurant was full. I said I would wait until a table became available. Surprisingly, after about five minutes, a table opened up. The dish I ordered was delicious. Towards the end, the manager was very rushed; you had to pay quickly and leave quickly. The atmosphere was too businesslike for my taste and lacked a certain friendliness.

22/11/2025: We went for Saturday lunch. The noise level was quite high, but luckily they put us in the room downstairs, which was quieter. I must say that the quality and flavor of the food were excellent: the cured meats were delicious, and the dish I absolutely recommend among the first courses is the gnocchetti dei peccati with gorgonzola and porcini mushrooms: spectacular, perfect. The desserts were also good: the panna cotta was a bit small but delicious!

17/10/2025: Traditional cuisine of excellent quality, service and courtesy

10/10/2025: Exceptional lunch. Excellent cuisine. Friendly staff. Reasonable prices. I'll be back.

30/11/2025: Truly a perfect place. Impeccable service, and my compliments to the waiters, who were so attentive to every request. They offered us a panettone that was delicious, and the tortellini were also excellent. We'll definitely be back.

20/11/2025: Everything was delicious, the staff were kind and polite.

25/10/2025: I discovered this vegetarian-vegan restaurant and was thrilled! The food is truly delicious: carefully prepared, flavorful, and creative dishes, perfect even for those who don't follow a vegetarian diet. The real surprise was the apple pie: simply fantastic, soft and fragrant, a must-try. The welcoming atmosphere and attentive service make the experience even more enjoyable. An absolute discovery that I recommend without hesitation!

08/12/2025: Absolutely incredible homemade pasta, very nice place, lovely staff.

06/11/2025: Very good trattoria; I had excellent penne all'amatriciana from the daily menu. The bread cake with amaretti biscuits and dark chocolate was also delicious. Cristina makes you feel at home. The restaurant is small, so reservations are recommended.

23/10/2025: A trattoria worthy of the name, nestled in the woods, the food is always excellent, the atmosphere intimate and familiar, and the owner always takes special care to pamper her customers' palates. The cuisine is simple and authentic. For lunch during the week, they also offer a fixed-price menu for workers.

01/11/2025: The pizza with fries and sausages was delicious and very light! The staff were very friendly and helpful. Plus, the pizzas arrived promptly; they're lightning-fast with delivery! I highly recommend it.

16/11/2025: It's rare that a restaurant this well known lives up to it's reputation, but this place absolutely does. They serve up great traditional local food without repeating all the same plates as every other restaurant, and with genuine friendly service and a homey atmosphere that makes everyone feel welcome. Especially outstanding on our visit were the balanzoni and the grilled mackerel with cabbage, but we also loved the garganelli, the salumi with crescentine and the cheese plate. Reserve well in advance!!

16/11/2025: We were in Bologna for the Radiohead concert, and since everything in the city center was packed, we found a table almost by chance at this little restaurant... and I'd say we were truly lucky! The atmosphere is familiar and welcoming, making you feel immediately at home. The menu isn't extensive, but the dishes are small and well-made, with fresh ingredients and authentic flavors. The service was also kind, friendly, and attentive, without ever being intrusive. A simple place with a lot of heart, perfect for a quiet lunch. If we return to Bologna, we'll definitely be back!

08/12/2025: Kind and welcoming staff, fresh and tasty products of excellent quality, congratulations! 🔝

06/12/2025: Andrea and Vincenzo run this little gem in the heart of the herb market. FABULOUS Piadina, 110+HONOR, doesn't even begin to describe the deliciousness of your Piadina. See you soon for another Piadinata :))) Roman greetings Simona and Annamaria

11/10/2025: We were there for dinner. Pizzas were very good, prices fair, very good atmosphere, very cold beers and friendly and efficient service. It was at a walking distance from the D'Aiano Guesthouse

16/09/2025: Extremely kind and excellent dishes

15/11/2025: The restaurant's ambiance is pleasant: antique furnishings, a refined atmosphere, and attractive lighting, particularly the mirrors that visually enlarge the room. Overall, the place is well-presented. The element that struck me most was a beautiful vintage Berkel slicer sadly positioned at the entrance next to the front door: during my visit, it was actually being used to slice mortadella, alas, just inches from the door and the constant flow of customers. Considering the traffic and smog of Via Rialto, I personally didn't find the location ideal. I had mixed impressions of the appetizers. The pitted olives, creamed ricotta, onions, and tomatoes had a flavor that, to my palate, recalled very simple, budget-friendly products that weren't particularly appreciated. Being accustomed to cooking, perhaps I'm more sensitive to certain nuances, but overall, I perceived a somewhat basic quality in the preparations. The freshly sliced ​​mortadella was certainly appreciable. I would have liked it to have been prepared in a less exposed area. The glass of wine served seemed rather small, barely more than a taste. Some details about the service also left me wondering: cutlery placed directly on faux(?) leather placemats and bread served in an unprotected metal container didn't convey the impression of great care. Regarding the pasta, the menu called for "spaghettoni," but the dish I received was more like bucatini and, for my taste, overcooked. Those accustomed to cooking might notice some limitations in this regard in the management of cooking and ingredients. The pumpkin risotto, which on paper I expected to be more balanced, was instead dominated by Taleggio, to the point of completely covering the flavor of the pumpkin. I also noticed a rather marked presence of balsamic vinegar, which further unbalanced the dish by hiding the key ingredient: the pumpkin. Overall, the atmosphere is pleasant, but I believe some aspects—from the attention to detail to the selection and presentation of raw materials—could be further improved. While I recognize the commitment to the atmosphere and management of the dining room, my personal experience fell short of the restaurant's reputation. Based on my personal tastes and what I've experienced, it's not a place I'd recommend, although I understand that others may experience it differently.

15/11/2025: Having lived in Bologna for a year, I finally went there tonight for the first time with friends who were visiting. It was an excellent experience, both for the food and the atmosphere! I'll gladly return!

19/11/2025: Very friendly and knowledgeable staff, always ready to satisfy every request! Comfortable and familiar atmosphere... but now let's move on to the food... everything is EXCEPTIONAL!!! Thin and crispy pizza with excellent toppings!! The best in Bologna and the surrounding area!!! Tigelle, perfect... an honorable mention for the CRESCENTINA!!! Excellent!!! Wide selection of traditional first and second courses!!! My husband and I are regular and satisfied customers 🤗 Marco and Guia

26/10/2025: I like to go there every now and then, good food, fantastic staff, more than kind, I recommend it
