    Small restaurant off the beaten path but well worth the search. The menu had many options. We enjoyed fried zucchini blossoms, tagliatelle and pasta with ham and orange. Service was good too.

    The ravioli was absolutely delicious and the lasagna was one of the best. Both are memorable dishes that we came back to order them again the next night. The interior is cozy and the service was great! Highly recommend this restaurant and we'll come back the next time we're in Bologna. Thank you TripAdvisor for the recommendation.

    The tortellini in broth was delicious - I could have easily eaten two bowls. Also the semifreddo with passion fruit was “icing on the cake”!

    This has been our favorite meal so far for our trip in Italy! Food was delicious! We ordered the tortellini in broth, pumpkin ravioli, and tagliatelle ragù for entrees. We also ordered the chocolate cake and flan for dessert. The restaurant has a fantastic local feel, fantastic food, and an extensive wine list.

    The restaurant offers good food with matching service. The small room we sat in could have been more intimate with one less table. The online only menu is a bit of an over reach and exhibits glitches making it hard to maneuver. Frankly, there is nothing here that was bad but we expected just a little more for the price.

    This is solid good restaurant with delicious dishes of Bologna’s cuisine. The pork with plums (maiale in salsa di prugne) was outstanding, the balanzoni in salsa verde delicious, semifreddo di pistachio unbeatable. Definitely a place to recommend.

    This restaurant turned out to be our go to place during a city break to Bologna. Slightly off the busy streets it’s well worth a visit. Great food, wine, bottled beer and excellent service. Booking in advance recommended. 👏👏👏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

    Excellent meal at an out-of-the-way hostaria. We ended up sitting outside as it was a warm night, and sitting inside, even downstairs, might have been a little uncomfortable. With our reservation made via Google/Fork, our table was ready for us when we arrived a few minutes early. We started with the Piatto di salumi, Tigelle, and a bottle of Bacche Nere. We dug into that bit of deliciousness (the lard melted into the Tigelle perfectly. For our main meal, I have the special tortelloni filled with pumpkin and my wife had the tortellini in brodo. All were very delicious and expertly prepared. The meal was finished with a wonderful bit of dolci - creme di mascarpone conscaglie di ciocccolato. The mascarpone was perfectly creamed and the cioccolato was just bitter enough to offset the sweetness of the mascarpone. If you are in Bologna, you own it to yourself to get to have a meal here. It is sublime.
