We were given a very warm welcome here and enjoyed excellent homemade pastas, tasty fillet steak in Sangiovese sause, and delicious desserts. The tiramasu was fantastic tiramasu - it was really light and was a world away from those overly rich imitations we get in the UK.

Very, very good food. The goat cheese/mushroom appetizer is one of the best things I've eaten in Italy. It's just so fresh and delicious; I wanted to lick the plate! The service was also very friendly, and I believe the owners make a few of their wines as well. Definitely come here. I may even go back while still here... More

We were guests at the Porta San Mamola and our tariff included a meal at Al Sangiovese on arrival. We were warmly welcomed at this small restaurant just a stone's throw from the hotel and enjoyed both the meal and the atmosphere so much that we returned the following evening. (And would have continued to do so had we been... More

Good atmosphere enhanced by Antonella's warm smile as stated by other reviewers. You do need to book as so popular. Portions generous and reasonably priced. Wine also good value

This restaurant has a warm rustic feel and is well worth the 10 minute walk from Piazza Maggiore. We were greeted by a lady with a huge smile who made us truly welcome and recommended dishes and wines. The food was excellent - but beware the portions are very large!

I travelled to Bologna with my two sons, one of whom is a foodie! We had great expectations for this place and really left disappointed. The service was not great and the food very average, for the price. The tortellini was very good, as was the chicken in lemon sauce, but the lamb was overcooked, the risotto flavourless, and the...
