The table for three people is too small, making it uncomfortable. Additionally, one person has to stand up to allow another customer to pass through because the tables are set too close together, leaving no room for passage.

Lovely food, service was friendly but at times slow because they were so busy. Definitely worth a visit for the traditional food.

HAD TO GO BACK! My wife and I usually do not visit the same restaurant twice in one trip. Franco Rossi restaurant was an exception. Nice Local place family owned since 1975. Local vibe is great. We had to try different meals. It was all so good. Asparagus risotto , Beef cheeks, traditional tagliatelle Bolognese. The first night. Red Tuna carpaccio, Grilled lamb ribs, Rigatoni Carbonara. A must try. Recommend a reservation. Locals start coming. On the Fork site works well. Buon Appétit 🇮🇹

A restaurant with potential… but they sadly doesn’t focus enough on the wine.. 3 of the 4 courses where delicious (soufflé, sea bass and panna cotta.) The 4th course was braised cheeks of veal. The meat was tender, but the sauce where way to salty.. a shame. The staff where very friendly and helpful.. And although it was a busy evening, they where attentive and didn’t leave anyone waiting. Sadly thy lack of focus on wine. Overall a experience just above mediocre..

I had some fond memories of our visit to the restaurant in the summer. Now the tables were too close, the food ok, one of the waitresses not very friendly. We were a little disappointed.

Lovely evening, at an amazing little restaurant. The staff were super friendly and attentive. The food and wine were excellent - I strongly recommend the tagliatelle bolognese and beef cheek for the meat lovers out there

Terrible service. Totally ignored. Food served well before the wine. Food was cold. Salad tasted like water. Do not go to this restaurant. Awful experience.

Very nice place to eat, with a personal touch from the chef. You see people and you feel how they care about the quality of the food, service and everything. My friend recommended us this place because of lasagna and it was perfect. We also ate tiramisu and it was very tasty.

First bad meal in Bologna. Artichoke salad had no flavor. Lamb was overcooked to the point where it was barely edible. Service was incredibly slow. It took over an hour for our main course to be served after we had finished our appetizer. Had to ask multiple times to receive a second glass of wine. Our most expensive meal during our 4 day stay and by far the least enjoyable.
