I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Bologna

10/10/2025: Da Cesari is my favorite restaurant when I come to Bologna. The food is exceptional, the atmosphere is welcoming, and they are friendly and very helpful.

08/10/2025: Honest review: I booked a table for 17 people. We were kindly welcomed to the restaurant on a large table upstairs for 16 people, as one of us had to depart else where. Prior to arrangement, we were given a set menu and the restaurant managed to accomodate our allergies and dietary wishes, no problem. The food was traditional from the region and seasoned well. As wel paid the bill, we were surprised that we had to pay for 17 people instead of the 16 that received the food. The waiter did not mention this to us and we should have double checked this in the restaurant. I contacted the restaurant about this and I received an email back stating they do not refund the person who was not present. The reason being that they were not able to seat another 2 people. On the other hand, the restaurant could have taken the table as it was unoccupied and empty but they did not care to ask. If you ever visit this restaurant, be very cautious as the owner does not refund your reservations. Talk about Bolognese hospitality, not.

07/10/2025: I organized a Friday night with my group of friends and my partner. The pizza was amazing, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was very intimate and welcoming; they put us in the dining room downstairs, which was very nice. I'll definitely be back. Thank you 💯🐞

01/10/2025: Family dinner, both pizza and fish entrees were good. The service was a bit slow, but it was crowded, so they offered us a mini appetizer to help us while we waited.

12/10/2025: Because it's in front of the fish section, the whole store has a cold feel. The food is very expensive but the portions are very small. I was surprised that the nearly 20€ platter was only the size of an appetizer. The salad was 12€, but it was worse than the vegetables you can buy for 1€ at the supermarket. The flavor was bland, so I wouldn't recommend it.

12/10/2025: I've been a customer for years and I gave it a 5....the food is still very much appreciated, but I have to complain about the treatment I received yesterday. I had spaghetti with clams for lunch. When asked how it went, I reported that I had found 10 closed clams, almost half of those on my plate. The waitress said she'd report it to the kitchen, and in any case, it was obvious because I'd left them on my plate, separating them from the shells of the consumed ones. I expected a word or an apology, but no one showed up. It was toward the end of the lunch hour, so it can't be said they were overwhelmed with service, given the few tables already occupied. I was very disappointed. I didn't expect this from a place I love and have been frequenting regularly for years.

13/10/2025: A must-visit if you are in Bologna. The ragu bolognese is wonderful and it was made with fresh gluten-free tagliatelle - we were astounded! We also ordered two starters - gnocco fritto and friggione - both also so flavourful and with incredible, homemade gluten-free bread! The staff were really friendly and welcoming, and the setting is very traditional and homey. Can't recommend enough.

13/10/2025: Homemade and best scaloppine I have had in Italy. i don't know why so many negative reviews, the young lady was kind to receive us on 13/10 at 17 in the afternoon, when nobody else would accept us. We have had antipasti, scaloppina alla bolognese and some spritz, honestly it was very good. Maybe slightly more expensive than in other towns but overall a good experience and the bread wasn't too bad. The lady serving us was very kind and gentle and honest, for me it was a top experience and there is nothing but a good moment spent there. They offer gluten free options, they also offer to make pasta for you as a side dish even if it wasn't on the menu, a great address with fresh ingredients.

11/10/2025: I walked in and found two Japanese tourists in line ahead of me. A blonde waitress was serving them, looking very busy. After a few minutes of waiting, an Italian woman came in behind me. When it was my turn, the waitress completely ignored me and spoke directly to the woman who had arrived after me. This was unacceptable and discriminatory behavior. I was furious, but only refrained from reacting because a friend of mine was waiting for me inside. I will never set foot in this place again.

11/10/2025: Il Tartufo Trattoria in Bologna is a place with potential, but unfortunately, in my case, it was a bit of a disappointment – ​​the portion was surprisingly small for the €30 price tag. I was expecting a unique truffle experience, and the dish was served without the characteristic cheese-grating ritual seen in many videos of this place. Now, it looks like they're rolling out of the kitchen on the cheese and simply transferring it to the plate. The taste was good, but the overall experience left me a bit unsatisfied, especially considering the price and expectations. Maybe we hit a bad time, but I can't give it a full rating this time – it's a shame, because the potential is great. The dish itself is very good.

15/07/2025: Good food, inexperienced waiters

04/07/2025: It's a place where you feel at home. It's admirable to find guys with so much desire and will to learn a trade. The food is excellent, everything fresh, the owners are real. An excellent place to celebrate an event. Highly recommended and the prices... Wow 🤩

28/08/2025: Everything was excellent. The vegan dishes were amazing. We'll be back. The price was also good.

23/08/2025: Excellent restaurant in the center of Bologna. It's well-known among locals, but many tourists continue to frequent it once they've discovered it. This is undoubtedly due to the highly successful choice of offering unconventional dishes, where the chef's skill is combined with the choice of top-quality ingredients. I'd also like to point out the various vegetarian options; the names of the dishes often don't fully describe what's on your plate, so asking the friendly and courteous staff for advice helps you choose from the extensive menu. The atmosphere is modern, elegant, and well-kept. Although there's plenty of seating, I've always found it crowded, so reservations are recommended, even at lunchtime. Well done, keep it up!

12/10/2025: A delightful dinner in a particularly welcoming atmosphere. Attentive and professional service. Very spacious and with excellent levels of comfort, allowing for relaxed conversation at the table.

10/10/2025: The setting is historic but very, very charming. The service is impeccable and friendly. The food? Everything is delicious.

06/10/2025: The waitress is amazing, the atmosphere at Hosteria 900 is great, the mulled milk is delicious.

05/10/2025: Finally genuine Italian cuisine! Both in pizza and dessert! Very light flavors and delicious recipes! Bravo to the young guys who were there with a smile and enthusiasm. Excellent prices!! I recommend it to anyone who comes to Bologna.

02/10/2025: My experience at the restaurant was wonderful. The pizza was very delicious. I ordered two types. The first was Ortolana with vegetables, potatoes, and smoked eggplant. It was very delicious. The second was Bufalla. Aurora served us very nicely and helped us choose. The place is very clean and comfortable. I recommend the place and the delicious experience with the pizza.

12/10/2025: Keeper of tradition, with tasty variations. Very welcoming place, with warm wood paneling and opulent finishes, well attended. Very professional, attentive and thoughtful staff, with appropriate knowledge of languages. Cellar for all needs, excellent q/p ratio. In the summer, outdoor tables.

11/10/2025: Top-notch restaurant and pizzeria. The pizza is delicious, classic Neapolitan, and they prepare the fish exquisitely. Highly recommended.

10/10/2025: Always a sure thing, Galeone. Exceptional pizza 🍕. Last night, the fish was delicious, the first courses delicious, and then the fried food was good, not greasy. Generous dishes, and despite the place being packed, they were very quick. Great staff, never intrusive but always present. Well done... if we want to find a couple of criticisms, the tables, at least the ones for 2, are small. As is the bathroom, very small. But these are details. We'll be back for the umpteenth time, knowing we can never go wrong!!

12/10/2025: Always the best Greek restaurant in Bologna. Fast, courteous, and punctual service despite the large crowds that fill the restaurant both at lunch and dinner. Prices are more than reasonable for the consistently generous dishes (I spent €27 per person, eating a truly substantial meal). Recommended dishes: cheese, artichoke, and fava bean balls.

12/10/2025: The best in Bologna. Quality, super friendly, and a truly captivating atmosphere. October 2025 update: always a sure thing!
