Built on tradition and simplicity, but evolving over the past 90 years to include several "signatures," the current menu offers a retrospective including handmade Pastas, Wild Game and everything sourced from the nearby hills, vines and forests. Offering menus in English for the occasional tourist, though the vast majority of patrons hail from nearby, it is once the entrance is located that guests sit amidst warm confines listening to quiet chat and a bell dinging in the kitchen to announce each plate. Fit with a good cellar of Italian Wines at fair prices, a pair of Rieslings well-suited to fried cuts from the Pig's Head and Polenta matchsticks draped in Lardo, Amerigo's Tortellini en Brodo arrives piping hot with delicate Dumplings afloat in Broth as rich as it is clear. Not forgetting housemade Bread that needs no accompaniment, plus a tiny "Bread Cake" Amuse, no visit to Bologna should occur without sampling Bolognese as it ought to be eaten while Pumpkin Ravioli with Duck Ragu is equally delicious. Also offering Mallard as the day's local game, though Fallow Deer shot nearby proves more compelling, Desserts dial in on classics including Zuppa Inglese and Fior di Latte made to resemble Flan while the Egg Yolk Gelato "Like the Old Days" is indelible.

While the outdoor space for eating is charming in this little town's truffle restaurant, the food…read morewas a little more of a disappointment. First of all, avoid the rabbit: the meat was mostly dry and there were a little shards of bone in the dish. Truffle lovers will prefer the gnocchi with black truffle, but be sure to order it with pignoletto wine to heighten the flavors. I enjoyed the little circular breads the size of a Silverdollar that came with our meal that were described to us as the brand of the town. It did help to soak up the rabbit juices.

We arrived right around noon when it opens (beware on kin says that it opens at 11:30 am which is not accurate). Make sure you arrive before 12:30 because the restaurant suddenly fills up around this time. The atmosphere and service were very similar - no frills, but perfectly adequate. My dining companions all had pizza, which they report was very good. No complaints. I ordered a very basic chicken breast and French fries. It was nothing special, but that's exactly why I ordered it. I was looking for something uncomplicated and simple. This was a perfectly nice spot for lunch after visiting the museum, but I'd recommend arriving before 12:30 pm to beat the rush.

Started with the mortadella mouse/potato souffle, which were a few interesting bites. We didn't think either of the pastas were standouts: gramigna & tortellini in brodo. The latter was particularly disappointing because it's one of the main dishes to try in the area, but it's just a bit boring (but maybe this is just what this dish is). We got a side of spinach that we probably didn't need but it was nicely done. Ended with the lamb chop, which was well cooked and the potato it was served with was perfectly lightly seared.

Have never had gramignone pasta, particularly double fresh prepared. Add into that the sausage ragú and you have an amazing winner. Wifey had the signature Tortellini in Brodo, which exceeded expectations. A 100% Super Tuscan rounded out the meal--Blueberry, earth, black currant with ripe tannins. Nice acidity that presents cranberry with bread products. Lorenzo was outstanding in service with a great attitude and sense of humor as well as confirming my wine choice as his wine choice for the value. He also had great support on the floor with others who also had excellent senses of humor.

They didn't have any tables outside so we were seated inside. Service (3.5/5): No WiFi unfortunately which isn't great for an international traveler like me. Standard European service. Not terribly friendly and not terribly efficient but I would say they were a bit more attentive than the norm. They did hook us up with some complimentary limoncello shots which was a really nice touch. Ambiance (3.5/5): A little quieter since it's off the beaten path which I like. A pleasant, homey restaurant. Drinks (4.5/5): We shared a bottle of wine. And the aforementioned limoncello shots. Food (4/5): We went with their pasta for two deal where each person gets three different types of pasta that you choose from six or so options. I love getting a variety of dishes so this was a nice way to do it. Not huge portions given the price but still delicious. The dishes were served to us quickly and we got to try some pastas we had never heard of. Overall: When in Bologna, Osteria Broccaindosso makes for a fine choice. It's a 15-minute walk or so from the center of town.

The staff nicely explains each dish and the background of its story. You receive a printed card showcasing the story and theme before the meal (in our case misery and nobility), then a copy of the printed menu, and a separate menu with the substitution if you have a dietary restriction. I didn't know they had an extensive kitchen and staff of 65 that works on the preparations and execution behind the scenes. It was definitely the most expensive fine dining experience in Europe, possibly the most expensive restaurant in Italy. But it was worth trying it.
