The 18 Best Restaurants in Bologna, Italy | Eater

"Ristorante Diana is in the pantheon of historic institutions known for white-tablecloth service, well-healed diners, and tableside theatrics, such as a cart that delivers piping-hot cauldrons of tortellini in brodo or scoops of custardy crema gelato straight from the carapina (steel tub) that are doused with syrupy Amarena cherries. Open since 1919, the icon has worked to maintain its quality, even as some other iconic establishments have grown complacent." - Coral Sisk

Loved it. Hands down the best lobster pasta I've ever had. I thought they were a bit daring to have mixed down the lobster. It's always hit and miss when you order this dish. But it was beautiful, so so deep in flavour. The mixed seafood grill was also above expectations. We had read great reviews of this place but were worried due to it's central location they would get lots of customers simply due to this... but no. It was all very good. Ragu I would however skip. Aim for the seafood and fish dishes here! The cart with the boiled meat added to the atmosphere and many chose this as their main... but go for the ocean creatures if you like it! Also, great and friendly service. It makes a big deiffenece

Food was ok. Not anything particularly wrong, but also nothing particularly right. The aperol spritz I was served did not have an orange slice, despite the table next to us did. Another quirky thing is that the bottled water is not opened in front of you. Not saying anything is wrong with the water, but if you are paying for bottled water it is comforting to know it's a fresh bottle.

Old school restaurant with waiters in white jackets, local atmosphere, typically classical Italian fare with emphasis on local dishes. Friendly and efficient staff. Frederico deserves a mention

The second time we have been in this restaurant, the first time was last year. It hasn't changed. Amazing it was and Amazing it is. Everything from the food to the service is impeccable. For us, this is Bologna's best restaurant!

The best restaurant in Bologna. The service was excellent and the food couldn't have been better. The best risotto I have ever had. Steak was cooked to perfection. To end the meal, we enjoyed Gelato with chocolate sauce.

Very old school yet charming restaurant serving classical Bolognese dishes. Clearly a very touristy place, but the food here was seriously delicious. Ham from Parma, Tortellini in clear broth and Tagliatelle alla Ragu were yummy, but my highlight of the meal was the tableside carved bollito misto. Beware, that is a lot of meat! Wine list has an ok selection, but it was not hard to spot a good bottle. Service is old fashioned and heartfelt. Overall a place I would happily return to one day!

The restaurant atmosphere and food is really more than words, amazing but my low rating is due to arrogant servers. They were not helpful. I asked shall i get chianti or Emiligiana wine and they were like you dont know the region or grape, it is different. Ok but i am not a wine guru and asking their suggestion. Anyway red house wine is not suggested, white is fine. Bolognese, beef carpaccio, special local fried seafood platter is suggested. Also parmesan risotto is not suggested. It is a really very protected old restaurant where you can witness old menus at the walls. They definitely train their servers about attitudes.
