Ristorante Diana

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.

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.

The lasagna was delicious. Noodles perfectly cooked, nice layering, great 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!

Super LOCAL and original authentic Bolognese restaurant... Just gotta go there (inside) and have a meal and wine. It is amazing The service is traditional, the meals cooked locally and the overall experience is positive. If you want a local experience come here.

Beautiful restaurant close to the city center. Handmade pasta and the prices were fair for the quality! The staff was paying attention to detail and they were really kind! Thank you for everything!

We ate here for lunch on a Sunday while on vacation in Bologna. I found it through an Eater article of essential Bologna restaurants. They were able to seat the four of us without a reservation even though the restaurant was hopping. The scene was mostly locals and the staff did not speak much english but it was very easy to order. The service was slower that what we are used to in the US but I didn't get the impression that we were being treated differently because we were American just that the pace is more relaxed here. We ordered the lasagna verde, tagliatelle alla bolognese, tagliatelle verdi al funghi porcini and a tortellini en brodo for the table. All of the pastas were perfectly al dente and amazingly delicious. The mushroom pasta was only soso, it was still good but not on the level of the other 3 that we tried. Pretty sure you cannot go wrong here. Highly recommend.

Had a great meal here. Worth looking at their menu in advance to work out what you'd like to go for - we didn't quite have the courage to go for the boiled meats primi! The Balanzoni were particularly good.
