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

We had a magnificent, super extraordinary evening. Food was outstanding, so authentic, so local and tasty. This deserves a Michelin star.

We ate our favorite meal of our entire Italy trip here. The owners were so kind and the food seemed simple, but the flavors in the sauces were so deep and delicious. Everything was just perfect.

This cosy, traditional place was the culinary standout of the small time I spent in Bologna recently. I reserved over the phone after reading about the handwritten, ever-changing menu, and from when we arrived it was clear we weren't going to be disappointed with this meal. The co-owner of the place took us to our table and explained the entire menu to us in near perfect English, a massively appreciated gesture which allowed us to choose carefully and with great variety. We began with one of the main highlights, a grand board decked with a range of Bolognese cold cuts, ranging from the fattier cuts of Mortadella and Pancetta to Prosciutto di Parma and a local Salami. These were all paired with a block of soft, rich cheese, the name of which I don't know, and freshly fried crescentine breads. These three elements combined together made for the perfect start to the meal. The fatty, salty, rich meat cut thin so as not to bloat us up but to just get the taste of Bologna, paired with something creamier like the cheese and the freshness of the bread, was all simply to die for. If possible, things escalated with the pasta course, as we shared a Ravioli stuffed with ricotta and spinach coated in butter, sage and parmesan. This was the best pasta of my entire trip and up there with the best pasta I've had. The Ravioli casing was richly yellow with egg and perfectly thin, delicious in and of itself, the pasta making here a true labour of love. The filling made the dish, as the salty ricotta and parmesan paired perfectly with the buttery sage-y sauce and a dash of what I think was lemon, adding some acidity to the beautiful fats. This, to me, is a faultless pasta dish. This was followed by the special meat dish of the day, grilled pork neck with courgettes cured in vinegar. The pork was perfectly grilled, seasoned simply but expertly with crunchy sea salt and black pepper. While the flavours here were simple, the meat was truly allowed to shine as the centerpiece of the dish, its rich fat and sweet meat melting in our mouths with every bite. A special mention should go to the courgettes too; they were clearly absolutely fresh, slightly crunchy from their being just cured, and with their dousing in an acidic but not overbearing vinegar, paired perfectly with the pork. For the meal we had, the value was also truly excellent, coming in at €70 for this wonderful meal. This included two carafes of house red wine, which; for a non wine snob like me, paired perfectly well with the meal. I cannot recommend this place enough for a true, uninhibited feeling of the Bolognese way when it comes to food, with the fresh, local ingredients shining throughout.

We ate here tonight and all I can say is it was absolutely awesome! Its a small, authentic and family run restaurant that chooses dishes for each day depending on ingredient sourcing, so I imagine the menu changes regularly and a couple run the kitchen and front of house between them. There was a selection of 9 or so dishes plus a mix of meats, cheese and bread to start (and deserts!), and everything was excellent - we were directed to order more than one of the dishes (so 3 x 2, instead of 6 x 6) so it's easier for them to prepare, which again added to the genuine and homely feel of the place. The warm bread for the starter and the platter were immense and all of the mains (pasta and meat) were great. I'd advise booking in advance to make sure you can get in (we tried the night before but it was full so booked the next day, the 2nd night there were a few walk ins but book to be on the safe side). I can't recommend this place enough, grazi!! We hope to come back in the future:)

Classic bolognese cuisine in cozy environs The place is small - a handful of tables - and staffed by a husband (chef) and wife (hostess) duo. And it’s great - a welcoming environment, excellent dishes, good wines, basically, the kind of place you go to cos you feel the need to chill and feel at home. The menu changes with the seasons, and whatever comes from the market, yet, it’s entirely affordable - all in all, well worth going to !

We had a delicious typical diner with our 2 daughters, the place is simple but very nice and Antonella, the owner, is friendly and helped us to chose on the menu. We will come back if if we come again to Bologna I recomand to book in advance as the place is quite small.
