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.

15/02/2025: Locale davvero tipico e curato nella sua semplicità. Cucina del posto eseguita con passione e molto appagante. Personale accogliente, la serata diventa davvero piacevole. CONSIGLIATISSIMO !!!’

10/02/2025: Locale tipico, a pochi km da Bologna: personale gentile e ambiente tranquillo. Ottime tagliatelle al ragù, antipasto per 3 abbondante con tigelle e crescentine. Il parcheggio è ampio, si può passare anche dal ponte di legno sul fiume se si vuole arrivare a piedi dalla statale. Hanno subito i recenti avvenimenti legati all’alluvione di fine 2024: andate a mangiare da loro anche per aiutarli! Consigliato.

14/11/2025: Very nice place, medium-high prices, but the dishes seem very well prepared. I was cold in the upstairs dining room, so I ate with my jacket on, so I'm giving the serving a 4. Braised cheeks for €25, very good.

10/11/2025: We had lunch at this restaurant on a veranda warmed by a fireplace. An extra star for the excellent location and the beauty of the place, which, however, clash with the messy exterior and the lackluster interior. The menu is decent, but the selection of only regional wines is a bit limiting. A note on the staff: the person taking our orders needs to be more knowledgeable... they didn't list the off-menu items (which we would have gladly ordered) and, most importantly, we weren't given the slightest indication of the wines ("We have white or red" seems a bit lacking). Wines, especially if they're local, like in this case, need to be thoroughly explained; I might have even purchased a few bottles. The food preparation and quality are average, but I'd still recommend this place; with more attention to detail and care, it deserves a full 4 stars.

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.

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.

14/11/2025: It seems like a joke to me to charge €19 + €3 cover charge for this thing. I am aware that it is an airport restaurant but at least the quality could be better. Honestly, a McDonald's hamburger seems to me to be of better quality than this thing because it can't even be called food. It's a scam, terrible service, the waiters are all unpleasant and it almost seems like they don't like their job. If you want to eat badly, have terrible service and be scammed, come.

09/11/2025: For a restaurant in the airport, the quality of food was ok. I give 3 for food, because I think the lasagna was not fresh enough, they made it only warm but the service was good.

22/11/2025: I also wanted to post a photo of the receipt, but I was so shocked by the €48 for four spritzes that I stopped myself from asking. Maybe the bar in the little square in Porto Cervo is cheaper. And I'll leave out the "maybe."

02/11/2025: November 2nd. Coffee €3, croissant €2.50, orange juice €8, 0.75cl bottle of water €5. Average/low quality. Never again.

13/12/2025: The staff is very friendly, but the prices are excessively high and the flavors aren't great. Some product policies need to be reviewed.

11/11/2025: GOOD MORNING, this afternoon, November 11th, at 3:00 PM, at the Castenaso Ipercoop at the Centro Nova, at the Gustavo bar near McDonald's. We ordered two crescioni with tomato and mozzarella. I'll start by saying I'm not racist. At the counter, there was a dark-skinned foreigner, perhaps Indian. She didn't use gloves to warm me up, and we pointed this out to her. Then, all annoyed by the grill, she took them back with her hands, cut them, and put them on a tray. Despite the initial reprimand, we pointed it out to her, but she didn't flinch, yet before us, at the cash register, she issued two receipts, changed money, and everything with her bare hands. This bar is definitely to be avoided when there are foreigners. We've been eating there for years, and nothing like this has ever happened. What kind of people do you hire? They don't even know where hygiene is located. Let's hope we're okay, otherwise I'll report it to the NAS.

06/12/2025: Crazy. Bad cocktails and out-of-control bouncers. Be careful.

06/12/2025: Mediocre nightclub, but above all, beware of the bouncers! They bully, insult, and threaten. They tried to stop me from leaving for no reason at all. I had to call 911 to free myself from their yoke. One of them even said, "Do you think I don't have the money to pay you back if I smash your face in?" Madness. Avoid.

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.

23/10/2025: I celebrated my graduation here, simply the best. Giancarlo and his wife Chiara were incredibly helpful, kind, and attentive to my every need. Thank you so much!!!

16/10/2025: Not enough food and drinks, too many tables in a single room (which was more of a corridor than a hall) so much so that there was no room for movement, contrary to what was agreed upon for a graduation party. I strongly advise against it.

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

07/07/2025: DO NOT GO HERE. Prices are already very expensive and when I paid they charged me extra for table service because I sat outside. I ordered at the bar and brought my own drink out to the table. What table service??? This extra charge is normal for sit down meals in Italy but I only had a soft drink and ordered and carried it myself. The extra charge is not advertised anywhere and is not justifiable. I live in Italy and have travelled widely and the prices are unreasonable for here.

22/07/2025: Mi sono fermata in questa area di servizio durante un viaggio da Formia a Rovigno e sono rimasta scioccata dalle condizioni igieniche. I bagni erano sporchi, maleodoranti al punto da provocare nausea — sembrava di entrare in una camera a gas. L’odore era insopportabile e l’intera area dava un senso di trascuratezza totale. Non ho nemmeno avuto il coraggio di mangiare lì. Questo posto è una vergogna per chi viaggia in autostrada. Mi auguro che Autogrill intervenga subito per risolvere questa situazione inaccettabile. Evitatelo a tutti i costi. Una stella solo perché non si può dare zero.

19/07/2025: Per essere un autogrill la cena era buona. Ovviamente costosa come ogni autogrill ma abbondante e gustosa. I bagni nella norma

27/11/2025: I had an aperitif here. The napkin under the fries was obviously dirty and old. Reusing it multiple times isn't fair to customers! I also noticed that the Chinese bartender was aggressive and rude toward the newly arrived staff. Scenes like this are absolutely unpleasant to see. The prices are exorbitant for what they offer. I also noticed that if you tip the waiters, they have to deposit it in a shared box behind the bar, so the owners pocket it!

22/11/2025: Extremely rude staff, completely not recommended.

28/06/2025: 3 different indications regarding the hours of this place. None of these have ever been respected even on different days between weekdays and holidays.

12/05/2025: I stopped to get two arancini. When I entered, the display case was half empty, and the owners barely greeted me (I assume). I decided to get the last two arancini and a fried calzone. When I got home, even reheating the calzone was dry and at least three days old. Personally, I will never set foot in this place again.
