Dear Guest, Thank you for your gracious words and for taking the time to share your experience you had at “I Carracci” Restaurant. I am truly delighted to know that you enjoyed the exquisite proposals of our Executive Chef Agostino Schettino and appreciated the carefully curated wine selection, designed to offer both quality and variety for every palate.

Dear Guest, thank you for choosing “I Carracci” Restaurant and for your review. We’re pleased you appreciated the atmosphere of our dining room and the attention of our staff, both scored 10/10. Regarding the 6/10 for the cuisine, the team recalls no negative feedbacks during the meal and only noticed the low score on our inner survey after payment procedures. When asked, you simply mentioned that you found not particularly special the dishes—feedback that, if shared earlier, would have allowed us to act immediately, particularly for the beef cooking level and temperature. However, all plates were finished, so a barely sufficient rating was quite unexpected. Next time we invite you to report immediately your possible concerns, we will be glad to intervene promptly. I remain at your disposal and hope to welcome you again for a more satisfying experience. T. Biondi G.M

Dear Guest, Thank you sharing your feedback following your recent visit to our restaurant I Carracci. I am pleased to know that you appreciated both our central location and the professionalism of our staff. With reference to the setting, our aim is to offer an elegant and refined experience in line with the historic atmosphere of our dining room, yet we always strive to maintain a warm and welcoming approach. As for your remark about the absence of “classic Italian dishes,” I must admit I am not entirely sure what you were specifically referring to. However, I would like to highlight that we do offer an entire tasting menu titled "Tradition Tasting Menu", entirely dedicated to celebrating authentic Emilian culinary traditions, reinterpreted with respect and care. I sincerely hope we will have the pleasure of welcoming you again, perhaps to experience this menu, and to offer you a journey through the true flavors of our regional cuisine. Kindest regards, Tiberio Biondi GM Grand Hotel Majestic "già Baglioni"

Went here for my birthday, had to book maybe two weeks in advance. Amazing service, great food. I was so full with the traditional tasting menu! There was one guest though with a strange behavior for a public place, I wish the personell told him something about it. But rather than that, our evening was amazing. The hotel interior is also fantastic.

I will share your words with staff, who I am sure will be honoured. On the other hand, I am sorry to read that you found the first pasta courses as “too heavy”. Let me say that for the global experience, 4/10 for the kitchen is a low score which doesn't consider at all the other dishes you had and the quality of the proposals.If you had shared your disliking during the dinner, we could have offered you another dish, that could have meet better your taste. Have you expressed your concerns to our staff? As the staff didn’t reported any negative feedback from your side. Traditional proposals are very rich and tasty, but not well know for being properly light.Hope welcoming you in the next future, just to let you try other courses that will meet your needs.

Perhaps a 6 could have been more adequate, accordingly to your comments.If only you had shared your opinion during the dinner, I’m sure our Team we could have offered you something more in line with your tastes, as from a further investigation the staff didn’t recall any negative feedback from your side.

Perhaps the most beautiful room in Bologna.... Food however was as disappointing as the room was comfortable. Small portions on the entrees and not well executed. Our servers were competent but not polished and were less than passionate about what they were doing; clearly just "doing their jobs" .... But what was up with the fruit flys????? They were like a plaque. Our server finally brought paper glass napkins to put on top of our wine glasses. The server said this has been a problem there for years and they just can't find out what to do !!!! YIKES!!! We ate in several restaurants in Bologna with indoor and outdoor seating and doors open unlike I Carracci that has closed doors and very functional air conditioning. No excuse for that at all!

Dear Guest, thank you for your visit. I'm very glad you appreciated our beautiful space, however I'm deeply sorry that you didn't enjoy your dinner. You are right, there are no excuses and also I would like to apologies for the answer you got from our Staff. I can assure you that the fruit flies are not a constant in summer, infact it has been only for few days that week. We already solved the issue. I hope you would understand that an unlucky evening can happen also in good restaurant. As you can see from the many excellent reviews, the food and service are our point of strenght.

Dear Guest, thank you the preference you had for “I Carracci” Restaurant, even if unfortunately this time not positive.For other possible customers who may read, I would really like to clarify that both on The Fork and on our Website, our menus have been published, since the 1st of July when the summer menu has been presented. Moreover, allow me to say that despite the name, our menu is far from being 'classic'; on the contrary, it continues to offer dishes with complex execution, great balances and high quality ingredients. You can still breath our Executive Chef’s creativity in his unique proposals. As you did not mention neither the food nor the service, I am not able to understand what did not meet your needs.I remain at your complete disposal if you wish to contact me privately and I truly hope to have chance of welcoming you in September; our Chef Chef will present the new menu, which will include also three tasting menu, much more sophisticated and which we are sure will meet your taste.TBiondi GM
