This is an authenic trattoria which promotes the local produce and traditions. You will be expected to follow the order of eating even if it means you don't eat all your courses at the same time. The food itself was exceptional (recommend the rabbit) and the local wine perfectly acceptable. The staff made a real effort to help us enjoy the experience and gave some good advice.The meal for four cost 94 euros which was two courses and wine. It is popular, with customers arriving throughout the evening so booking is advisable (response to my emails was prompt).
If you want a genuine experience of a trattoria, give this place a try. The only other point I would make is that the choice for vegetarians is limited.

This Trattoria was very close to the hotel . Visiting Bologna with 5 friends , we decided to give it a try . The lady in charge listed off what was on the menu it would appear there is no written menu . The first dish was a pasta dish and was very tasty and filling . Some of friends were ‘adventurous ‘ and tried ‘guinea fowl ‘ and ‘rabbit ‘ I stuck to ‘tried and trusted ‘pork . All were satisfied with the dish , I felt there could have been a tad more meat on the plate , and the veggies were scant also , although the little ‘roastie ‘ potatoes where nice , again could have done with a tad more My friends availed of different dessert s , I gave them a miss . They were happy enough . The place is family run , originally opened in the 1940s . Overall I would return to eat there again

Just as one MUST visit Torre Garisenda and Torre degli Asinelli while in bellissimo Bologna, (so one may climb back into its remarkable history), so too is it a MUST to eat at the superb Trattoria Zita...EVERY dish made in Chef Cristina's kitchen is flawlessly flavorful...….do not deny your taste buds the opportunity to savor these exceptional authentic, Italian culinary creations.

In addition to their fine wine selection, what will further complement your dining experience is the wonderfully pleasant and professional staff...….it is no surprise how gracious they are, for they have the best role model in the tremendously personable Chef Cristina.

However, her talents are not limited to creating palate pleasing pasta dishes, Chef Cristina also has architectural skills which is evident when you step out onto the charming outdoor dining space she designed; that lovely oasis is surrounded by yet another example of Chef Cristina's talents.…..a gorgeous garden of fragrant flowers in a mosaic of colors!

This stella outdoor dining experience is enhanced by the tiny twinkling white lights that hover over head giving the impression that Chef Cristina illuminated the area by transporting a small galaxy of stars from the sky to further provide for you a truly out of this world dining ambiance. In a word, Trattoria Zita is PERFECTION!

Te lo prometto, sarai molto felice se mangi alla Trattoria Zita!
Arrivederci...Lynda

Great service with a friendly smile. Not been here for two years and was instantly recognised. The reason for staying in the hotel next door was purely based on coming back to this great homely restaurant. The food is really good I want to bring my whole family here in the future. Italy at its best!
