Ristorante Diana

Perfect lunch before the much anticipated sold out Radiohead concert. All classics were amazing especially #lasagne. Top service by Federico and great pairing with two different #lambrusco. A Bologna institution that is still in great shape … would definitely come back

A true classic experience. The service is old school and perfectly professional in white suits. The food is simply fantastic, full of authentic flavors. I can’t wait to come back to try other dishes, especially bollito.

The restaurant has kept its decor and tradition the same, in the best possible way. Every dish was comforting and generous portions. The unique highlight was the boiled meats paired with sauces and potato mash. A dish that I never knew existed in Italian cuisine and recommend to anyone wanting go beyond pasta and pizza.

Service was good, efficient. The lasagna was the standout of what we ordered. The tortellini in broth was a bit salty for my liking. Texture of the pasta was good though. The mortadella balanzoni was good, felt heavy with all of the other meats, should have balanced it with the cheese filling instead.

We had a wonderful experience here. The food was delicious and service was excellent. We had the Gran Frito Misto, the Vitello Tornato (because I wasn’t very hungry) and the Friggione (onions and tomatoes), a specialty of Bologna. Everything was just perfect.

Was a bit overpriced for what it is. Lasagna was bomb, bolognese cutlet was a bit overdone. House white and red wine were both tasty. Nice looking place and service was very good.

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

#throwback2014 Not just a restaurant, it’s Bologna on a silver platter. Ristorante Diana is where tortellini in brodo gets the red-carpet treatment, wheeled to your table in a steaming tureen like it’s royalty. Since 1909, this culinary time capsule has been serving up serious Emilian soul food under the watchful gaze of waiters who probably invented table etiquette. Once a cafe, now a monument to meat and pasta..legends like Fellini, Mastroianni, and even the King of Belgium have dined here, probably getting lost in the velvet richness of their ragù. The decor? 1950s elegance preserved in aspic..all mirrors, white tablecloths, and the ghost of a clock that’s seen more power lunches than a Roman senate. Must-try dish? Tortellini in brodo, hands down. Or the bollito misto cart, a steamy parade of boiled meats that feels like grandma’s hug with a diplomatic passport. Come for the heritage, stay for the sauce. This isn’t just eating, it’s edible history.
