The food was okay - restaurant a little touristy and lacking any wow factor. Not a restaurant to return to.

One of my favourite restaurants in Bologna. Visit every year. Steamed octopus is the best. Very friendly staff and front of house

Service not very attentive had to ask for extra drinks and then they forgot the extra large bottle of water. Food portions small. Advertise hamburger but when vines up just the burger near with no bun. The location is lovely but pint of beer is expensive so think you pay for location over food and service. Although asked twice if we had a reservation they also forgot 20% discount

Food was good, however the service was terrible, wanted to order dessert, took 15 minutes to get the waiter to stop fooling around with the other staff to get the menu, then after a further 30 minutes add our order not being taken, we decided to leave and eat elsewhere, do yourself a favour and don’t go here.

Food may have been great but we’ll never know. We made our reservation about 7 weeks ago asking for a table on the terrace and followed it up with a visit the day before to confirm our request. We arrived 10 minutes early and noted there were still empty tables in prime positions while being escorted to a table in a gloomy position at the far end next to the kitchen… a huge disappointment. We are given some water but then totally ignored for the next 20 minutes while watching waiters attending other diners. To say we felt forgotten and taken for granted would be an understatement. Finally we’d had enough, got up, explained ourselves to the waitress and reluctantly left. I think she may have wanted to make an offer but after so looking forward to this dining experience we were no longer in the mood. On our way out I noted that some of those prime table positions were still vacant - really annoying given we booked with a special request so long ago.

Food was okay. but I booked using this site and they seemed like they didn’t know what I was talking about for a while. Luckily I took screen shots of my reservation. After showing them and explaining a little further they let us in and it was okay.

We had a lovely and delicious dinner and the ambience in the breezeway seating was just beautiful even though the weather was rainy. Our server was attentive and friendly, he remembered to give us our discount for booking with The Fork automatically. Don’t miss the bruschetta with anchovy or the Franciacorta wine. Such a lovely evening!

I have already been there in another occasion, I think the food is in the average, the service nothing but well organised and prepared. The vibes are quite good there, however I found the place nothing special and the retro style as for the menu, let me judge nothing more than a 7
