During my stay in Bologna, I had to come here every so often when I grew tired of Italian food…read more Here's what I would say: if this place was in America, I don't think it would be very popular at all. I enjoyed the food, but it wasn't anything special. However, given the limited selection of American food in Bologna, this place was good. They have a decent veggie burger that I was happy with and the one time I ordered a decked-out affogato type drink, it was amazing. I would recommend coming here, but not if you are in Bologna for a very limited time; there are plenty of better restaurants to visit while here.

My husband and I went here for lunch because of its proximity to Ducati. Inside it looks and feels…read moremore or less like a American diner. The menu was definitely an interesting mix of typical diner fare as well as hot dogs, BBQ, and Tex-Mex. My husband had the "big breakfast" with pancakes, bacon, sausage, and french fries. He wasn't a huge fan of it; I tried a bite of the pancake and it was extremely sweet, like it literally tasted as sweet as cake. I had the California burrito which was, to me, more of a grilled wrap with a little guacamole on the side. Overall I may be biased since I'm from the US, but it was just okay.

The jukebox burger was ordered medium and came very well done...dry and burger was very small, much smaller than bun. It came with 8 small pieces of potatoes. This was 18 Euros! Ridiculously priced for what is served. The lasagna was good. Tasted good and was well cooked. Tagliatelle ragu was good sauce but pasta was way undercooked, beyond al dente. The person who ordered it said it gave her a jaw ache and she only ate it cause she was starving. The pork special was average and nothing special.

I visited Hamerica's restaurant and loved it. As I was walking to my table and glancing over at…read moreeveryone's delicious American food, I knew I was going to love this place. Everything looked delicious! There was a large menu featuring burgers, sandwiches, salads, and other American food. I ordered the New York burger and felt like I was back at home. It came with delicious truffle fries that had the perfect amount of truffle on them. The burger was large and topped with bacon, lettuce, and tomato. The truffle fries and burger met my expectations as they tasted like true American food. The rest of my party also loved their dishes, as they got a rice bowl and a burger. As I looked around while eating, I felt I could truly enjoy my meal because of the decor. The restaurant was colorful and had old looking photos that I thought were serious but they all had something funny such as a UFO. The restaurant was able to achieve an aesthetic vision due to these paintings and the cozy atmosphere. This meal helped me understand how Italians see American cuisine. They see it as casual, aesthetically pleasing, and having large portions.

July 21/2022: Dinner with Torsten & Manuela…read more This was designed to be a typical American Roadhouse & it almost hits the mark for authenticity. Something is missing but I'm not sure what precisely it is. The food was good/very good but certainly not to American BBQ standards. The flavour just wasn't there. The portion size was very competitive however. I had the meat sampler. It had steak, chicken, pork & sausage. All tasted good to very good to me. I also ordered a fully loaded potato which they nailed in flavour. One thing I really liked was the decor. They had some of the lighting on meat hooks in the dining area! This is a do-over for sure.

We came every night during our four night stay, and it was always a great atmosphere inside and out. The downstairs bar has a great beer selection. If you look behind the bar, they have shelves with all the bottles, labeled by style. We tried a few new barrel aged stouts we had never come across, some of which were solid 10/10 beers. The food puts them over the top. The cheddar burger is a tasty burger, but the fries. Oh these fries. They are so crispy, so salty, and almost pinched in the middle so they have a little curl. They are so delicious, a real treat to end a long day's wanderin'. Bonus points because all the staff we interacted with was lovely every time we visited.

This Eataly in Bologna is different from most other locations in that it's half bookstore, half…read moreeverything else you'd expect from an Eataly (cafe, bar, grocery store). Located in a three-story building a stone's throw east from the main Piazza Maggiore and directly across the alley from Mercato di Mezzo (a separate moderate sized food hall), the Eataly retail space is spread over all 3 floors, with groceries mainly located on the 2nd story. The ground/1st floor is mostly books and a casual bar/cafe, where they serve simple pastries and coffee/tea in the morning and apertivo options (meaning light bites and classic cocktails) in the early evening. Upstairs on the second floor (1st floor for Europeans ;), there is a selection of olive oils, vinegars, condiments, dry goods, snacks, candies, wines and liquors, and gifting items. A smaller selection of grocery items than other Eataly locations and no fresh produce. There is a wine bar/beer garden area upstairs as well though it didn't seem to be in use during the couple times I dropped by in early April, however the still carried quite a broad wine selection considering the space. I dropped by one late afternoon and tried the fried polenta and an aperol spritz. The food was kinda unimpressive, the fried polenta felt a bit thick and heavy, the drink was ok. It took a while to wait for the food though the drink was ready fairly quickly. Overall a convenient location to pick up a food/cook book in Italian or other souvenirs.

One night we even popped back in for cocktails and simply enjoyed watching all the groups of locals having such a good time.

They have these signature little wood boxes to sit on and gigantic boards of meats & cheeses...fun fun.
