I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Bologna

06/10/2025: I booked this place for Sunday lunch with my husband. I'd never been there before, but I was convinced by reading the reviews and looking at the photos of a location that, even in person, is stunning. When we arrived, the lobby was messy, and our table was set with an unclean tablecloth. We'll overlook that. The menu presented at the table was the one the lady shared via WA the day before, but a couple of dishes had been removed. No big deal. We were told the chef had worked at San Domenico in Imola and had experience abroad. The expectation is that his cuisine is simple and authentic, but impeccable in terms of technique and hygiene. My appetizer, which was supposed to be hot, arrived lukewarm, and the ingredients were patchy. My husband's, a Charolais beef tartare, he said was good, but I thought it had an unusual color. The first courses were average, and the mixed grill was warm (not hot). To finish, we ordered mascarpone with chocolate sauce. The mascarpone was runny, and the chocolate sauce had a surprise: mold on the bottom. The prices were too high for the quality of the food, but this could be a subjective consideration. Kitchen hygiene and proper food storage are regulated specifically and objectively. I'm not in the habit of writing reviews like this, but my husband felt nauseous and had a headache immediately after lunch, and since he hadn't eaten or drunk anything else that day, I blame it on the above.

28/08/2025: A very interesting place in nature, very close to Imola. We went on a Saturday for lunch and ate under the awning with the gentle sound of cicadas. The menu is very interesting, with both traditional and modern dishes that the chef changes weekly. Very good and plentiful dishes, such as the tartare of Scottona Fiorentina and the lemon parfait. I recommend it.

20/09/2025: The atmosphere isn't very airy unless you sit on the veranda. Service is slow. We had two appetizers and two pizzas with a bottle of wine and spent €25 each. The pizza wasn't exceptional, the service wasn't exceptional. I expected better because if you don't book, you won't find a table. I don't think we'll be back.

27/08/2025: One star because I can't give less. There were eleven of us, and we booked for 12:45. We arrived and placed our orders (two appetizers, two crescenti, a tagliata, three first courses, and two mixed cheese platters). After an hour and ten minutes of waiting, not even the two appetizers had been brought, only two baskets of bread. I got up and went to finish explaining, only to be told we'd be served immediately. Sure enough, after another ten minutes, the orders started arriving. Even the person who had ordered the tagliata first received the salad, and even more time passed before the meat. Finally, we ate alongside kilos of flies. It doesn't take much to install mosquito nets, or else the object attracts flies! It was a wonderful experience; I've never experienced this before!!! However, I don't think I'll be back. I feel bad for the place, which has so much potential if managed better.

09/01/2026: The cheapest place we found so far. Cute, little cosy place with bags of charm. Great for a quick stop

19/10/2025: The food - overpriced; the waiter - not the sharpest tool in the box; the atmosphere; well, it is a cute alley right next to the main square, I have to give it something.

30/11/2025: We went to eat at this place hoping it was still a restaurant but there was only pizza... considering that on the sign and also on the internet it says pizzeria restaurant... again not very correct... if you are no longer a restaurant, damn... instead they only do pizza and hamburgers and the pizza asked for well cooked and it arrived undercooked... I told the waiter about it and he remade it but she was very annoyed... the staff was untrained and courteous, the room was extremely cold and you had to eat in your jacket... not recommended in my opinion, we will definitely not return.

10/09/2025: Lunch break with pizza. Very kind owner.

31/12/2025: We went for Christmas lunch, and despite the presence and reporting of a wheelchair, they set us a table on the mezzanine floor with stairs. The Bolognese appetizer included six fried pieces! Tortellini in broth were counted on the plate for the modest sum of 20 euros! Panettone for 8 euros, cut with a slicer, practically invisible! A cheese platter for nine... shame, Christmas lunch ruined, we had booked to be together with our family. Never again.

09/12/2025: Spending €46 for two glasses of wine and a cheese board seems quite high to me. Paying €6 for the cover charge + €6 for the grill is insane! Prices that seem excessive and unjustified are unfortunate. It's a shame because the location is actually beautiful.

13/01/2026: The worst pizza I've ever eaten. Capricciosa with practically raw tomato sauce and decidedly suspect-tasting ham. The quality is embarrassing: the frozen pizzas from the supermarket are significantly better. I almost never leave reviews, but this experience was truly awful.

06/01/2026: Excellent pizza and excellent tagliatelle!! The service is always friendly and helpful.

25/07/2025: Really good pizzas, wood oven, well seasoned 10/10

08/01/2026: Good morning, this morning I went to the bar and I had terrible service. The coffee was horrible and it was dirty water. The barista and cashier were quite nice. I asked for another coffee because the first one wasn't drinkable. She remade my coffee but put it on the counter and it wasn't even on my plate. And she didn't even apologize. I'm a barista too, but the customer is always served until the end. There were three of them, but the other colleague was outside chatting without helping. These bars must be lucky because they work in a shopping center, even as professionals. There's no sign of them.

29/12/2025: The staff is very kind, thoughtful, and attentive. They're always smiling, and the food and service are excellent! My aperitifs are special 💯

05/07/2025: Posto bellissimo ma servizio con troppe lacune, lunga attesa per l'arrivo del cibo, ordine confusionario con app con obbligo di registrazione. Da rivedere

14/06/2025: The dinner was disappointing: frozen fish, very small portions, very high prices.

18/01/2026: Slow, incompetent, and downright unpleasant. I advise everyone against setting foot in this place.

10/01/2026: I entered and went towards the pastry shop, no one greeted me, no good morning, and while I was waiting to take a tray of pastries, the shop assistants were talking to each other behind the counter, after which I got tired and politely went to another pastry shop, I'm sorry, they must have had their reasons but as an entrepreneur, that's not how you run a business and lose customers, thank you very much

07/01/2026: I went there with some friends on December 31, 2025. I have to say that the "señorita" evening was very nice. But I have to give it a three-star rating. It's not fair and you can't force (by law) someone to wait inside the club until the end of the night, as it only creates disorder and people shouting. We waited until the end, but it wouldn't be fair. The price already seems a bit excessive to me: 42 euros for a night at the club with drinks costing 10-20 euros and up (even though I didn't drink because I was driving and I couldn't leave 100 euros). Plus, 5 euros to put on a nice coat/jacket. I repeat, a very fun evening with reggaeton and dancers. The flaws are the time it takes to get out, the costs (personal taste), the lack of security and above all the lack of organization which, with so many people, becomes difficult even for the best security personnel.

04/01/2026: Dangerous, frequented by almost no Italians and by many quarrelsome and ill-intentioned people. Packed with people. I don't recommend it to women, especially if they're alone.

02/02/2026: I had a €15 mojito... I expected it to be good given the price but the bottom was warm despite having ice and let's not even consider the taste... I don't recommend it even though the place is very nice.

07/01/2026: 5 crodini equals 30 euros. Ok we are in the center ok we are in Mima but a crordino 6 euros without a chip, without an olive, without an appetizer, without anything at all is a disgrace. Place completely deserted.

13/12/2025: The best coffee ☕️ in Piazza Maggiore then Angelica's friendliness accompanies you with a smile all day long

18/09/2025: Ordered coffee and Montenegro. The service and drinks were good.

25/07/2025: They've changed management. Bad, bad. Poor food, embarrassing offerings. They send you the old management's menu, and then you discover on the spot that they only serve four appetizers. Tigelle were anything but tigelle. Eggplant parmigiana burned on the bottom and obviously reheated in the microwave. Only one type of beer, and that's bottled, not even on tap. Truly disappointing.

21/07/2025: Terrible! Waited half an hour just to order, followed by another hour for a reheated pizza. High prices for cheap wine and reheated food.
