5/10There is no sense to put the sauce on fish if it’s full of bones.

9.5/10First rate fish and seafood. Full on our Tuesday night visit, so great ambience, but slightly slow service (which didn’t worry us). Highly recommended.

10/10Really lovely, and very patient with our terrible Italian. The food was brilliant and the service was great. Would definitely go back again when we’re in Bologna.

5.5/10This is a rare seafood restaurant in Bologna. We went with two elderly Italian friends. While the food and wine were of decent quality, we were shocked by the service. The wait staff ignored us for long periods. We were seated in a cramped and uncomfortable table. The staff seemed mostly to concentrate on a few tables. Our friends who are 80 + were quite offended. We won't be going back again soon.

10/10We had a fantastic meal here- the best seafood we have tasted in Italy. The staff are vert attentive and considerate. The wine list is perfect for matching to the dishes and the cocktails are to die for. Please try this restaurant - you will not be disappointed.

7/10Seafood dishes were great. Service was very slow - we thought they forgot our 3rd dish but 45-60 mins later, they arrived. Didn’t feel welcoming but could’ve been our lack of understanding Italian language.

10/10This quaint restaurant was a great find! We were looking for a fish place on Good Friday and this was beyond expectations. I noticed the reviews we under a 4.5 but then noticed 95% of those reviews were over a year old. We enjoyed the food and the service where we were not rushed out but able to enjoy our meal. Highly recommend the Cappellacci di Ricotta di Rosola, Gamberi & Carciofi!!

10/10We wanted to return to this friendly restaurant again on the final night of our week in Bologna. We chose the Chardonnay wine to accompany our exceptional cuttlefish starter. For the main course we had the delicious Bologna pasta and seafood ragu, and the pasta with ricotta and fish. Delicious. Dessert we enjoyed the lemon sorbet and crème cotta. If you come to Bologna and love seafood we highly recommend this amazing restaurant.

10/10This was a highlight of my trip to Bologna. From arrival to departure the service was top notch and very kind. Feels like the staff loves what they do and do it well. I was on my own and they gave me a lovely table outside. Also even with my bad Italian they made the effort to reply to me in Italian so I could learn which I really appreciated. I had the grilled seafood and it was soooo good as was the glass of wine I had. I also had a wonderful salad and a glass of dessert wine a bit like port. I loved this restaurant and would definitely return.

7/10Outside space next to a lovely building. People waiting a very long time to be served food. Waiter had to be prompted about everything. Our bill was wrong and the waiter then gave us a completely wrong bill but for the right price, which we paid. Possi ly hopelessly understaffed. A shame as the food and location were great

9.5/10The venue is cute and cozy. The quality of food was absolutely excellent. The kitchen staff is obviously talented. Most of the diners were locals.

5/10The lack of service ruined the whole experience. I felt invisible from the moment I entered the restaurant to the moment I left. This is unacceptable for the price I payed.

7/10The restaurant is very smart with white table cloths, good decor and clean. We met the chef who was very proud of his menu and recommended the Branzino as a two person mai meal. Food was excellent but the downside was the service, as they only had one waiter serving, obviously he could not cope as it got busier,we asked for our bill at least 5 times and everytime it was not given, in the end I went to the till to pay as we had a table booked at a jazz club which were late for. Not the best experience, frustrating and the restaurant could be so much better.

10/10An excellent, creative seafood cuisine and a beautiful atmosphere. The pricing for the good quality of the dishes is absolutely justified. The attentive service completes the positive experience.
