We ate here twice - dinner and lunch. The menu is contemporary Italian and the food is excellent quality. We especially enjoyed a really light souffle with Mortadella sausage, tender beef fillet in breadcrumbs, and pannacotta caramel and a good choice of wonderful local wines. Service was excellent at dinner but was a bit stretched at Sunday lunch, though the... More

Our first visit to Bologna and after a nice couple of hours walking around the central area we looked to the TA near me now feature on the iPhone to find somewhere to eat. After one wring turn we managed to find it down a alley way nit far from the central piazza. We were the first there for lunch... More

Ate lunch on successive days. Each day there was a choice of two red wines by the glass, with a taste before choosing. Consistently very good dishes with style and flair. Highlight: guinea fowl leg (Coscia di Faraona in forno). Delicious

Great service with a smile, great food, great presentation, great wine list with proper prices, location is 300m from Piazza Maggiore, prices not on the low side. I would definitely revisit!

Right in the center of old Bologna you fond this local retaurant. Food is excellent -apart from old and dry bread... It is a pity to serve such bad bread to such ood food.... The rest of the dinner was just perfect.

This was probably our favourite restaurant on a recent stay in Bolgona. The fillet beef was absolutely delicious, as was the tagliatelle. We'd also recommend trying the rice cake - a traditional Bologna dessert; tastes far better than it sounds. The restaurant also has a very good wine list. We had 3 courses, a bottle of wine and an after... More

This small place in the shadow of the Basilica of St. Petronius is a modern take on the traditional Bolognese trattoria. The gramigna with sausage is great, but I wish they offered it with rosemary and thyme instead of tomato sauce. The menu is limited, but everything is good. The bread leaves much to be desired, however: it is dry... More
