Where to eat European food in Bologna: The Best Restaurants and Bars
Reviews on European food in Bologna, Province of Bologna, Italy. While crowds of tourists fill Venice, Florence and Rome, Bologna remains relatively quiet in comparison. This medieval university town is charming, historic and fun to explore… and you'll find Bologna's local cuisine is light-years away from the American deli meat bearing the city's name.

Nearly in the countryside, not easy to find, and much harder to get a table if not reserved many days in advance. Once there, you're hit by the noise and confusion. Resist, and start with the exceptional selection of hors d'oeuvre, the great bruschetta with tomatoes, served as default. Desserts also very good. Dishes are generous and prices low for Bologna's standard. 25-35 for a full dinner.

Immagina un posto dove vieni accolto con un sorriso. Un posto bello, elegante e familiare, dove trovare il tuo spazio per bere un drink e mangiare qualcosa di sfizioso. Un posto che cambia con le stagioni e i momenti della giornata, insieme a te.

We were looking for a taste of Italian food and saw this discreet and very well decorated place, and this was a MARVELOUS choice! We had a wonderful experience- the food is remarkably revisited by an astonishing Chef, the waitress was very kind and helpful to us. From starters to deserts everything was PERFECT- DO NOT HESITATE TO STOP HERE

The food was good, but the place is hot like hell. The owner/waiter told us to have two splits at maximum power. Actually They were not working, I would prefer he to be more honest with us. La ringrazio per il suo commento, anche se avrei preferito un giudizio sul cibo piuttosto che sull'aria condizionata.le ricordo che nel periodo della sua visita la temperatura a bologna era circa 40°c.Anche se accesi (e le assicuro che l'aria condizionata ha funzionato tutta estate ai massimi livelli) gli split non possono fare miracoli con una temperatura così alta. L'aspetto comunque ancora , magari in un periodo più fresco , così che Lei possa concentrarsi maggiormente su quello che mangia.cordialmente Luca Osteria Cannone

We ate here twice during our stay at Savoia regency hotel. Complimentary prosecco almost as soon as we took our seats and a wee amuse bouche. The sea bass was probably the highlight of the food we ordered but everything was very good. Pleasant service both nights. Very happy.

This is a lovely little bistro mostly frequently by locals. It is off a narrow street that is a 15 minute walk from the tourist area that is looks alley like but has a nice atmosphere once inside. My pasta with traditional bolognese meat sauce was delicious as was the broccoli vegetable flan and marscapone dessert. Wine by the glass was only 5 euros. There are only two servers so be prepared to relax and enjoy your meal. Prices are reasonable. My favorite meal so far in Bologna and I have been here over a week so far. Much nicer than the touristy restaurants by the main square. Just go !

This place has a good atmosphere and is a quality restaurant. Menus are available in English. Service is professional and not rushed. There are different dishes in the menu that you would not expect to see in a small establishment. Reasonable price but for a 3-course expect â¬100 to 130/head with wine and cocktails. The starters were excellent and the asparagus flan was a winner, light and flavoursome. The first meals were varied and the tagatelli and ragu was enjoyable but a bit heavy. The selection of main courses were boggling with some unique fish - croaker and amberjack: very unusual taste. The lamb ribs are excellent and Angus steak very thick so likely to be a bit rare if you just order medium. The deserts look amazing and the wine list is excellent. Overall a nice restaurant and it would be more atmospheric if you can secure a table in the main room.

Lounge and Pizza Restaurant, just steps away from Bologna center. Regional cuisine, italian food, pizza, seafood and meat specialties.

I never realized how important Bologna is on the Italian food scene until I visited there recently. It's the epicenter for many popular pasta dishes, so this place did not disappoint. I had the tortellini in broth (a local specialty) and it was perfectly cooked and tasted delicious. My husband had the bolognese which was super tasty. Our waiter was charming and attentive and answered all our questions. He recommended a lovely local wine and then gave us our choice of grappa or limoncello on the house.

We went here with a business party for dinner. Food is very good, the tasting menu a little overwhelming in quantity, albeit very good quality. Atmosphere is very pleasant, service absolutely professional and friendly. One wouldn't expect this type of restaurant in that location, as it's a bit peripheral and overarching a busy street - but it's worth a visit.Dear Guest,Thanks so much for helping us spread the word about our Restaurant La Porta on Tripadvisor. We have glad you had an overall good experience. We too agreed that our Restaurant has one of the best location in Bologna very appreciated to business event and for you I was pleased that you enjoyed being so closed to Bologna Town by 5 minutes' taxi. Thanks again and please think of us on your next visit to Bologna! Sincerely,

We ate outside in this small restaurant in the historic district. The pasta dishes were the winners. My wife had vegetable lasagna which should be shared and I had tagliatelli with sausage. Both were great- in fact my pasta was the best I ever had. Next I had the veal special which was a little tough and my wife had chicken with herbs.We finished with a delicious custard dessert. The waitstaff were pleasant and attentive.
