I saw the good reviews and sought it out, though when there was no menu in the window was…read morewondering, but went in and sat and heard the lunch offering (no menu, no price list) ordered a pasta, and then he suggested the antipasti with mortadella and a variety of tasties, so I said OK, and then I started to worry. I worried because the antipasti was a huge mound of succulent mortadella, along with olives, chickpeas, sausages, fruity things, and a big slab of ricotta. This looked like it was going to be pricey, and I usually shoot for a 10 Euro lunch, and then came the pasta. It was a cream/mascarpone base with crispy fettucine from oven baking accented by bites of toothy sausage and then covered, yes covered, with shaved truffle, with a sprinkle of parmesan. I mean, it was the best pasta dish I've ever had, times ten, and that antipasti was such a feast, and there were no numbers on the menu, so I slipped an extra 50 Euro out of the moneybelt fearing the worst - - but with the sparking water, the bodacious antipasta, and the best pasta ever, it was 29 Euro. The best 29 Euro ever spent for a lunch, hands down. Went a couple blocks and around the corner and had gelato at La Sorbetteria Castiglione and the day was like frickin' OVER (except for the late passeggiata and pub crawl, after the nap).

I had my first Ragu here as it was the start of my visit, but the menu looked to have many delectable things to try so I'd love to come back with a bigger group. Service was attentive and prompt.

It was a party of 4 and at the time there was also graduation from college there so there were a ton of people around town. Entering the restaurant we were in a little room with a few tables which I preferred. The servers spoke both Italian as well as English so it was perfect for our party. Some of us spoke Italian and some only spoke English. Very very convenient. We ordered some appetizers (if you love artichokes get them 4 ways cooked-can't describe how delicious is was) to share, then of course in Bologna you need to order bolognese over your pasta. We ordered tiramisu and a local beer. Everything was so delicious. Beyond words can describe. Not only is this a beautiful city but the food is so incredible. I bought a jar of bolognese home and it was as delicious as when I had it there! Must try and must eat.

Many people were turned away so show up at opening if you want a table. Nonno who seated us was perfectly cranky and short with his words. His younger helpers brought some average bread to start and took our orders. We had the house red wine and started with a caprese and the braseola appetizers. Caprese was basic and no basil. Braseola was much better with very tasty meat sliced thin over arugula. Delicious. Most of us had the tagliatelle alla bolognese. It was meaty, delicious and the pasta was perfectly cooked. Our young one had the Parmesan risotto which was very good. We also shared the mixed meat secondo of 4 different skewers which came juicy and grilled perfectly. We were so full that we skipped dessert. The atmosphere is so authentic and the prices are so good that we would like to go back and try the rest of the menu. Also, they take a long time to bring everything so go with an open mind and be patient - it even says it first page of their menu...

Neither of us speak Italian but the waitress was delightful and did an excellent job in answering all of our questions regarding menu items.
