    We have eaten at this restaurant many times with family and as a couple. Service is outstanding, welcome always warm, food generous in portions and worthy of Michelin stars, and wine list rich. It is impossible to stand out as a great restaurant in Bolgona but San Pietro surely does as the best choice in Bologna for a fabulous dining experience!

    This restaurant is situated in a back alley not very well lit. We have come to discover through our trip in italy that this is where you find the best food. Incredible flavours and great service. The servers checked on us but did not hover. My husband had pork belly and his appetizer was fried Parmesan balls, so good. I had a great mixed salad to start and the lasagna, truly authentic. Desserts are in the fridge and you choose them yourself. Great wine as well. I had Prosecco and my husband had a house white. Very nice evening overall.

    Helpful staff, great food. Not the cheapest but definitely the best of the restaurants I visited in Bologna. Well worth the bit extra!

    Excellent service - asked to change table as first was by open door and our request was met without any fuss. Very efficient staff who were charming. Food did not disappoint either - very generous portions and delicious. The lemon sorbet is a must!! We will return in a heartbeat

    Great location away from the tourist trap. Wonderful sitting outside next to some old stone walls. Inside is contemporary interior. Great Italian food with modern twist, pretty good food , and pretty displayed. Service is excellent and so is the wine. This is a hidden gem :)

    We both had the Sea Bass with tomatoes and green beans with a side of the fried potatoes and a bottle of Pinot Grigio, which was all delicious and well presented. We sat outside and found the service fast and friendly. The waiters all spoke enough English for us to be understood. I would recommend this ristorante.

    Roberto provided outstanding service to our family of 5 (grandparents, parents, and our little one). He especially was generous and fun with our little one, and he brought us a small round of after dinner drinks as well. We enjoyed the outdoor seating and the food as well -- delicious tortellini in brodo, tagliatelle ragu, gnocchi, and a stuffed pasta with pesto and tomatoes. Thank you Roberto for being so kind to our family!

    That was a perfect place. We were there on woman’s day and at the end of our experience (and it was not just eating but an experience!) I got flowers (all women got them on that day :) food was incredibly tasty and people very warm hearted

    Mostly foreigners like us the day we had dinner at the San Pietro - the food was quite good, but hearing several tables noisy Americans somehow spoils the atmosphere.

    Calamari was rubbery and inedible. Waiter tried to mansplain it away. Beyond disappointing in the food capital of Italy.

    Good food, but from the start of the meal you are hurried to finish. After finishing the starter, the main course arrived after 5 mins, and halfways through the course, we were asked if we were done…even if we were still eating. The same with dessert. When we asked to wait a bit, the waiter looked up 🙄 and said “tomorrow???” We really didn’t feel welcome here.

    The restaurant is located just 2 minutes from the center of Bologna on a quiet street, and the place is quite nice and clean. Regarding the service, I was really disappointed today. In contrast to my previous visits, there has been a significant decline in the quality of service. Given the prices charged, I expected better service. Firstly, the waiter simply placed water on the table without refilling our glasses. Then, he brought a spoon for one of the meals we had ordered, but instead of politely asking who ordered it, he used an arrogant tone and simply stated the name of the dish. We couldn’t understand what he was asking for because we hadn’t noticed the spoon, so he repeated himself with an even worse tone. Unfortunately, this was just the beginning of our ‘great’ experience. They brought bread with Parmesan but forgot to bring the plates, so we had to use the plates that were already on the table. No waiter came to check if we had everything we needed. When it was time for the main course, the waiter finally showed up and in front of other customers, gave us a sarcastic ‘lesson’ on how to ask for extra plates. From my perspective, the waiter needs education on proper service. How can you bring bread with Parmesan and oil to the table but forget the plates? Do they expect us to teleport the food into our mouths or should I stand up and start looking for my waiter? Or perhaps it’s better for me to go to the restaurant kitchen and fetch the plates myself because apparently, it’s too difficult for their staff to think logically? From this point on, the entire restaurant experience was ruined. Regarding the quality, the price does not match the quality of the food. The food was not well-balanced in taste, the starter was undercooked, and the pizza was poorly cut. On a positive note, the waiter at the entrance welcomed us warmly, and another staff member brought us a holder for our bags. In summary, we used to love this place and would highly recommend it to our friends who were visiting the city. However, after this experience, we will not be returning to this restaurant. I also cannot recommend this place anymore due to the disgusting, rude, and disrespectful behavior exhibited by some of the waitstaff. While customers are not always right, most situations can be handled much better and with a better attitude.”
