    A simple menu of excellent dishes. Tuna tartare, pork with mushrooms, pasta with sea urchin — all superb. Busy night when we were there, but attentive service and friendly staff. After two weeks in Tuscany and Umbria, one of the best meals we enjoyed.

    Had a lovely evening on the terrace of San Silvestro in Cantina. The food was really good, although the size of the portions was a bit small for typical Italian cuisine. We did not mind this, because of the high quality. I can recommend ordering a side dish if you order a secondo piatto. The service was very friendly. We concluded our meal with a lovely glass of limoncello, served in a really beautiful glass.

    Only one staff member was friendly. We arrived for our reservation time and they told us they actually weren't open and we had to come back. Menu limited and rather meagre and disappointing. Best part was location. Could not recommend.

    Fantastic primo (tagliatelle al ragu) and secondo (tagliata di Fassona). After eating around Bologna and Modena the last few days, I found the ragu generally on the quite salty side, but their version was perfectly seasoned. The tagliata was done precisely medium rare and the best texture and flavour. I would come back to the restaurant but sadly we leave Bologna tomorrow. Will definitely fly back to Bologna for a meal like this in the future.

    A near perfect dining experience. Superb service from the moment we walked in, some of the best food we had on this trip to Italy, excellent wine and surprisingly reasonable bill. We will make a point to return on our next visit to Bologna.

    What a lovely restaurant. We ate there on a rainy Sunday afternoon and the food and service couldn’t have been better. It was also very reasonably priced. Highly recommend.

    Took a second to find this gem, as the Google maps listing was inaccurate, but don't let that stop you! (it's on the other side of the plaza!) Delicious traditional tagliatelle, amazing wine, and maybe one of the best slices of cheesecake I've ever had! The staff was very friendly (even greeted us by name from the reservation) and so warm and helpful! 10/10

    We chose this restaurant based on Fork customer ratings. We were not disappointed. The food and service were excellent. The tastes were fresh and exciting. Service was animated with out intrusion. The team clearly enjoyed what they did. Limited wine list of high quality well priced. A most enjoyable evening. Highly recommend!

    This restaurant’s amazing food is a contemporary take on local cuisine. Great combinations of flavors and textures! I had the steak with Brie cheese…. A must! My spouse had the veal cutlet. THe staff is wonderful and knowledgeable. They will give you great advice. (Most of all, they were having a great time at their jobs, and it was clear!). Check this place out, but be sure to make a reservation!!!!
