Fantastic piadina sandwich place located not too far away from the main historic square of Bologna…read more The staff spoke no English so we had to rely on what little Italian we knew and Google translate to help us order, but once we got our sandwiches, we were so happy to have come by here because it was arguably the best sandwich we've had during our time in Italy. I got their funghi freschi grana e rucola (fresh mushrooms, grana padano cheese, and arugula) sandwich and it was so delicious. The bread used for this type of sandwich was phenomenal and I'm now craving a piadina just writing this up. Well worth a visit, if you happen to be in Bologna.

This was a great late night food to get! So affordable and so many options. Since everything was in…read moreItalian and my family and I love to try new things, we just picked a random one on the board and ordered that. The piadina is kind of like a pizza dough folded in half and stuffed with ingredients so it's eaten like a quesadilla. It was absolutely DELICIOUS and so convenient to eat. We wished we were more hungry so we could've tried more of the savory options!

This is our first trip to Bologna. We stumbled upon the restaurant and were pleasantly surprised…read more Dinner was great! The beef tartare was delicious. The pink appearance of the mortadella balls was a little off putting but my husband loved them. We both had the tagliatelle bolognese with meatballs, which was delightful. For dessert we split the ricotta, coconut and Nutella balls, which were dynamite. I would definitely recommend Bolpetta to friends.

This is our first visit to Bologna and we liked that the menu had a number of vegetarian items. The…read moreair conditioning was a nice added bonus. Unfortunately the food was a bit disappointing. It is all a bit gimmicky with everything served as "polpette" or "balls", and our appetizer was panzanella- which were very dry and largely bread balls. My daughters tried the cheese polpette in tomato soup. This was literally just goat cheese rolled into balls, in a few tablespoons of ground tomato. The eggplant polpette were more successful and served with a yogurt dip. The cod polpette were kind of soggy and were ground up with a lot of raw onion- not our fave. The best thing was probably an enormous fresh salad full of different crispy greens. The white wine was delicious: we had a couple of glasses of the local sparkling white called pignoletto. This restaurant became very busy at about 9:30pm, and is clearly very popular among the locals: perhaps meat eaters would do better. For example, we noticed that the cold cuts were frequently ordered. I don't think we would go back.

Food and service was amazing; the lasagna was the most delicious, the pasta was cooked just right for lasagna. The tagliatelle ragu was also worth the trip...bolognese is a most in Bologna! We also had the most amazing milk brûlée desert that had a salty sweet caramelized layer. I loved the ambience, no music, made it very elegant. One of the more fancy places in Bologna but not too pricey.

Very disappointing! The restaurant came highly recommended and we were looking forward to our…read morevisit. We went for dinner. Shirt version is the states were really average, the main course, which were local parts, were very good, and the service was very slow and indifferent. For example, v to of the there entrees arrive and team minutes later the third arrives. After starters, they cleared the table of silverware, brought main course, and didn't bring new silverware. Many more similar details, longer no salt and pepper, fifteen minutes to get a check, and disappearing waiter who comes back smelling like cigs because he took a smoke break.
