    Food was good however we had to ask 3 times for our side dish of potatoes - and when the waitress bought it she slammed it down on the table - she had a very bad attitude problem - hence a bad experience for us and will not be going there again

    Great food! We ordered the ragu and parmesan cheese pasta and they were very delicious. The ragu smells amazing and the parmesan sauce is just simply perfect. I ended up trying the parmesan cream pasta in other places in Bologna afterwards but this place is by far the best for me. Great food, cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend!!!

    We ordered the mortadella mousse which was delicious and the cheese plate alongside. There was no crackers with the cheese plate and no cheese knife. Our mains of pasta were brought to the table whilst we were still eating the first course and the unfinished first courses were removed. The raft pasta was not saucy in any way and could do with seasoning. We ordered a bottle of wine when we ordered our meal. We were asked to leave before we had finished our wine, They were closing, but we were not advised of their closing time when they took our order. The staff didn’t come near us except to bring our meals and clear the table… disappointing when we were the only customers.

    Staff was very friendly, but they forgot about our table after seating us and then again after we ordered. We only had two diners and we arrived in time for our reservation. Our table was ready for us when we arrived, but those seated after us ordered before and received their food well before we did. The food was good, but not anything exceptional. The menu is typical for the region, so don’t expect anything non-traditional. I might return, but I don’t think I’d recommend it to guests if we had visitors. The other tables seemed to enjoy their meals and patrons were a mix of Italian locals and tourists.

    We had excellent food (and wine and dessert). Only downside to restaurant is that tables are really close to one another— which is minor. Would return.

    This is not fine dining… this is what italien dining is famous for. Good food delivered with a smile and eaten with pleasure.

    Great restaurant conveniently located in the Old Square. Their tagliatelle ragu/bolognese dish was great, but we enjoyed the gramigna pasta in cream sauce even more. The veal and mashed potatoes were hearty, and the pasta portions were great for each person. Would highly recommend the vasetto di mascarpone con scaglie for dessert - extremely good. Great service, nice ambience in the restaurant, and had no issues using the 20% off discount through The Fork.

    Food was very good we dined here twice on our stay in Bologna, service was good both nights and even on the second we accidentally ordered the wrong dish to which the staff were super accommodating and fixed for us, food was brilliant, we had the Balanzoni stuffed with Mortadella Mousse, Butter and Sage, Tortelloni stuffed with Ricotta and Parsley, Butter and Sage and the Cotoletta all of which were delicious.

    Food was amazing and good value, yes the pizzas aren’t massive but they’re definitely decent sized we had the Primavera (and added prosciutto) and a Salvatore and everything was delicious and cooked really well, had no complaints with the service although it wasn’t great/attentive in their defence it was quite busy, went on a Saturday night be prepared to wait! Although it did look like they were serving their pizzas next door at the bar? Could be a loop whole if you’re not looking to wait 30-45 mins for a table

    Very tasty, price was good, portions were adequate. Crowded space, very young waitstaff in a team approach so you never really know who was your server. Great for an everyday meal. Not a special occasion type of place

    A lovely buzzy little restaurant. The food was tasty and the service was great. One thing you need to watch for though. You don’t receive a bill, you go to the desk to pay and receive your bill/receipt after they have taken your money. We only noticed when we left that they hadn’t honoured the Fork discount.
