The temple of Bolognese cuisine! There's no other place I'd go to get the authentic experience…read more Anything on the menu is great, but I would strongly recommend to get the tortellini, pasta con il culatello and the cotoletta - even better with truffle. Service is amazing. Daniele, the host, is truly charismatic and engaging. Do ask of him if you want to get top-notch service and recommendations (food and wine). Wine selection is also thorough and offers great regional choices - do get aged Sangiovese from the region. The place is cozy and feels like home. Like a trattoria/osteria should feel. Do call in advance (weeks if possible) to get a table. The place is extremely popular. Prices are higher than average, but food and ambiance are worth every single penny. I highly recommend it!

This place came recommended and was expensive and in a shitty location, so it must be good in Bologna, right? Nope! The menu wasn't super appealing but was hoping it would be amazing. The spread that came out was a grey blob and was just blah. Had the raw fish of the day, absolutely terrible. No flavor or just wrong combinations, lacking balance and salt. The three pasta dishes we had were just terrible!!! I canceled the entrees and we left. Service was absolutely terrible too. Had to ask for everything. Got totally ignored. Zero talent in kitchen and front of the house. I know good and service and I'm stunned!!! Another lady dining solo was equally disappointed and we had a lot of serious knowledge about food at our table. A major bummer.

We then arrived at the front entrance and the outside was packed. We asked for a seat inside and they were so friendly. Thumbs Up and we hadn't even looked at the menu! A great homemade bread basket was served and we couldn't stop eating...but we made ourselves stop so we could eat our meals. Our meals arrived. The first dish was a beautifully prepared pork tenderloins with a Sangiovese sauce accompanied with a couple of grilled artichokes and some pumpkin puree. Maybe the best pork we have ever had. The grilled lamb chops were great. They were served with roasted rosemary potatoes. Service was great. The chef came over and looked at my chops and said pick them up and eat them...so I did, just like I was at home. The menu is varied and something for everyone. Highly recommend and would definitely return.

The Diavolo pizza was closest to an American pepperoni pizza but with better salami, and was also delicious. The mixed salad was also very fresh.
