We made a reservation around noon for same day evening and our table was ready exactly the time that we've arranged. Service was quick and food quality was good. The location of the restaurant is also a plus. We ate silverside veal, veal cutlets and some pasta and all of them was great. Well, it was not exeptional but it is one of the best traditional restaurants in Bologna.

This restaurant was recommended by our hotel staff and glad we followed the advice. The decoration is rather bland, but they nailed what is more important: the food. I had the best lasagna I've ever had here.

Great portion sizes but that’s about it. The food is remarkably average and the service even more remarkably slow.

I’d recommend many other places over this in Bologna.

We arrived and the only think I knew that I wanted was the crescentini, something I had never had. We settled on the Tagliere Meat Platter (7 different kinds of meat), the Cotoletto Alla Bolognase, roasted potatoes and the crescentini. The meat platter had a bit of every thing on it. All from different sections of the pig. Jowl, head, you name it. There were some quite interesting tastes. Yes, we tried them all. Only really liked one of them. But that was ok because we had the Cotoletto. It was fried, then covered with a prosciutto then followed by a cheese sauce. The veal was quite good. But a bit heavy on the cheese sauce for me. My spouse loved the cheese sauce but not the prosciutto(I liked it). So see, we all have different taste buds. We both really enjoyed the roasted potatoes and I fell in love with the crescentini. Service was perfect. Prices were average for Italy. Recommend.

Found this on a walk and were not disappointed. Fabulous food and service. Indoor and outdoor seating. Mid priced. Great selection of traditional hearty food. Loved it, highly recommended.
