The 18 Best Restaurants in Bologna, Italy | Eater

"Despite being hidden off the main thoroughfares, this casual, homey osteria is always bustling. Husband-and-wife team Antonella De Sanctis (front of house) and Mirco Carati (in the kitchen) opened the humble eatery in 2005. The pair whip up an ever-changing traditional menu written on construction paper taped to the walls or on a chalkboard. A meal includes fresh pastas, crescentine (Bologna’s fried bread pillows), local cured meats, seasonal takes on local pastas such as tagliatelle with asparagus, Italian peasant dishes like grilled capocollo with cardoons, and cheese-centric sweets to finish. The owners choose simple wines they like to drink themselves." - Coral Sisk

Different handwritten menu daily of a small selection of local dishes. Owner patiently explained each dish to me in slow and simple Italian as she knew that my Italian wasn’t good. Food cooked by a mother daughter pair. I had the tortelloni in butter and sage, which was done so well and had shavings of this spicy pungent cheese that was delicious. I also had the chicken prepared alla diavola (pressed and grilled, seasoned with spices and herbs) which was juicy and smoky and delicious, pairs well with the roasted sweet potatoes that were not too mushy and had a great mouthfeel. Ended the meal with a slice of local desert pinza bolognese with a filling of delicious mostarda bolognese. If you want to walk in, you should show up at their opening for weekday lunch so as to secure a table as it gets quite popular with the locals living around later on.

Our tour guide (who’s also a chef!) recommended this spot and even joined us for dinner—and wow, what an experience. This cozy, tucked-away restaurant feels like a hidden gem. Antonella, the owner, is welcoming, kind, and impressively hands-on. The menu changes daily and is simply posted on paper on the wall as you walk in, which adds to the charm. Every dish we ordered was absolutely delicious. A must-try if you’re in the area!

This is my favorite restaurant in the world. Amazing and I mean amazing food. The owner Antonella is such a good host and really makes you feel at home. I can’t say enough about how good the food is here, I cannot wait to be back in Bologna, just so that I can come here!

It was suggested as a hidden gem in town and indeed it was. My partner spoke Italian and had some wonderful chat with the staff. The food was delicious and it didn't feel like all the other places that just offer heavy food. We had a fish soup with broccoli and the pasta with fish Ragu which was definitely a nice surprise. They change the menu every day so you might not get the same thing but if you are willing to try something new, this is the place to be. Definitely one of our favourite places in town in terms of flavour and new flavour profiles.

Lets start of with the atmosphere, it’s like entering a living room of your mother warm, cozy, comfortable and personalised. Our visit was embraced, which I generally loved about Bologna was that they didn’t mind my lack of Italian or being foreign. The service was good and personal, really caring about the idea of slow food. Finally the food, is neutering and delicious. Simple recipes, where the ingredients speak for itself. If’d have the chance to work in the kitchen for 2 months I’d take it. This restaurant I’ll definitely recommend, since it is so unique. I think we were very lucky getting a spot, I’d recommend reserving a spot in advance

Wonderful family owned and run restaurant. It’s like being invited into their home. Chiara the daughter is the chef and explains the daily menu in perfect English. Lovely personality and great classic bolognese food. This and Trattoria via Serra were our top two restaurants in Bologna by far.

Best meal in Bologna. Best meal in a long time. Might be a top 10 in my life. The family is down to earth and so pleasant. I loved the whole experience and would go again the next time I’m in bologna. Make a reservation though.

By far the best meal we had after 2 weeks in Italy! Simple preparations, but flavors were on point. Portion sizes were perfect (not too big). We had a pork dish that almost made my hudband weep, it was so good. Risotto was cooked perfectly. Wine was excellent. If you are wanting a white tablecloth experience, this is more of a mom and pop place. But that is what we love when traveling, especially when the food is exceptional.
