In a good location not far from the duomo, this restaurant/shisha bar (at 9pm and onwards)…read more I had the gnocchi filled with mozzarella which was quite impressive I would suggest it to anyone as it's a safe choice. On our table we also got the gnocchi e pesto which similarly to mine was amazing. We also got the pasta carbonara which I hear was also very nice (provided your not lactose intolerant in which case it sucks). We had the pizza with eggplant which like most pizzas in Florence was very nice (however seeing as there are lots of specialist pizzerias in Florence I would go for the pasta. Finally I also ordered the Bruchetta which was very nice, for those who don't know that's tomatoes on toast. Which is simple but strangely very nice. We had two bottles of wine, the white Pinot grio was simple but nice with a pungent aftertaste and then we changed to the Ruffino rose which I thought was actually better (and it's cheaper) so win, win! Hope to see you here either for a meal or for shisha!

Super fan of this cool place located not far from the Bologna main train station. We were looking…read morefor a healthy, delicious lunch option in order to avoid eating in the Bologna airport and this was only 6 minutes from the train station. Very nice design and interior, this is definitely a very vegan/vegetarian sort of place but they offer a very good lunch menu with two items for 8 euros (basically with a glass of wine and water, your meal average around 10 euros a person). I had the spinach and kale puree with garlic which was really tasty, much more than it sounds. I also tried a fresh salad with avocado which was nice, though I would have appreciated more avocado ;-). My boyfriend got a type of pasta with sauteed veggies, which was really good. The turnaround was quite quick since it's a popular work lunch environment, it was absolutely packed with local Italians who obviously come here quite a bit. Highly recommend if you want a quick/healthy lunch near the train station in Bologna, great find, all thanks to YELP!

Great, simple vegetarian food. Not a place I would recommend, however, if you don't speak/read any…read moreItalian. Or I guess you could just point and pray you get something as good as my spinach and parmigiana.

So I have pretty mixed feelings about this place…read more First, the good. The ambiance and atmosphere here is incredibly enjoyable. We stayed here and worked in the mornings for a week, and by my count there were 9 different languages being spoken at any given time during that span. It's both a very social place but also one where you can get a lot of work done. We saw a coder completely locked in and developing with a passion right next to two old friends chatting the day away. As for the coffee, their prices are very reasonable, their staff super friendly, and their food is really good. Something like burrata and tomato is a fantastic midday meal. Now, the not so good. What I found particularly un-stellar, if you will, was that both the power and the Internet would cut out intermittently. Their wireless provider WiMan seemed to have issues keeping me connected, and in 3 days we experienced 4 power outages (they didn't last very long, though). Also, they have a pretty large menu but often don't have the supply to match it. We tried several times for different biscottis or paninis, but they didn't have them available. For these reasons, that's why I'm giving it 3 stars instead of 5. Still, the ambiance is really fun and it's a great place to spend a few hours either to work and/or people watch. Just don't come if you're really Internet-dependent

Our first Friday night in Bologna we learned the hard way that reservations were necessary for the…read morelocal osterie. Faced with the prospect of no dinner, we were headed to a grocery store when we passed this wonderful little place. Having ordered an aperitivo, one is invited to enjoy a complimentary buffet of scrumptious vegetarian dishes that are more than sufficient to substitute for a light dinner. The waiters were young and friendly. One was delighted to try out his English with us or to speak Spanish if we preferred. They offered several wines by the glass, and the one that I tried was delightful. No question that we would return here.

È Cucina Leopardi.... I love, love, love the concept of this…read morerestaurant. They serve only a few dishes , which are based on chef's choice/seasonality of products/ingredients on hand. There is no set menu. You walk in having no idea what you're going to get...and I love that. They offer three different lunchtime meal options..an appetizer/primo/dolce priced at 10€; an appetizer/secondo/dolce priced at 15 €; and an appetizer/primo/secondo/dolce at 20€. Being the glutton I am, I couldn't pass up the last option...an app, two courses, and a dessert? And for 20 euros? Hell yeah. Oh, and did I mention water, bread, and a glass of wine is included no matter which price point you choose?! You choose which price formule you want, and from there, they ask you carne, pesce, or vegetano. So if you choose pesce, your 1st and/or second course will be some kind of fish dish...same if you choose vegetarian or meat. I believe the appetizer will always be some kind of vegetarian dish, because they don't give you your options until after the appetizer is served. The appetizer they served was ricotta cheese with an apple cream (aka applesauce). It was good! The sweetness of the apple cream complemented the cheese. Light, creamy, refreshing! After eating the appetizer the waiter told me what the menu of the day was. For the fish...the 1st course was a fish soup. The second course was some kind of fish. For the meat, the 1st course was a meatball pasta. The second course was some kind of beef dish. I couldn't decide between the carne or pesce, so my waiter told me I could have the best of both worlds, and do a course of each. I chose meat as the first course, and fish as the second. My first dish was your basic spaghetti, but the best spaghetti I've ever had. The noodles were perfectly Al dente. The sauce was vibrant, fresh, and flavorful with some nice hints of garlic. There was just the right amount of fresh parmesan already mixed in to balance the acidity of the dish and give it a slight nuttiness. And there was also olive oil drizzled in there..the good kind, giving it a slight bitterness and brightness. Spaghetti will never be the same for me again after eating that. My second course. I have no idea what kind of fish it was...but it was cooked just right, and the skin was a bit crispy and slightly salted. There was a kind of green puree that went with it...it had very bright flavour notes and was slightly sweet. The fish was served with some salted potatoes, apples, and rutabaga(?). Everything worked well flavor-wise, and I really, really enjoyed the dish. By that point, I was so, so full. They give you very nice sized portions and I honestly probably could have stopped after the first course. However, dessert was still yet to come! For dessert they give you two options to choose from. I waited for my waiter to give me my choices, but he never did. He came out and said, "you must try everything!" and he gave me both desserts!!!!! One was almost like a chocolate molten cake. The outside was little crisp, and the inside was warm, fudgy, and chewy. It was so, SO good. It was a dark chocolate, and sweet..but just slightly so. And there were a few hard chocolate shavings throughout which provided a nice contrast in texture. The other desert was an almond cake. It was soaked in some kind of liqueur..amaretto, I believe. It was served with a dollop of what I think was some kind of cheese..maybe marscapone mixed with some orange. It was a very lovely dessert! Pleasing to the taste buds, and not overly sweet! Finally, the meal concluded with a small cup of coffee! I paid my 20€ and waddled away from the restaurant, incredibly full, but oh so satisfied. The main reason I came to Italy was to eat. I added Bologna to my itinerary because I heard it was the foodie capital of Italy. I have had many great food experiences during my time in Bologna but eating at È Cucina Leopardi has by far been the highlight. I highly, highly recommend checking it out if you ever get the chance!!

Family really enjoyed the change in pace from pasta for one night …read more.. We arrived at 7:30pm and like most places this early the place was pretty empty. Waiters were very friendly and helpful. - they recommended multiple dishes and added some great hot spices upon request. We did a mix of chicken (don't let the "chicken nuggets" description drive u away) and mutton (lamb) -- naan, and mixed rice. All was great spicy and on point for what we were craving. You can make your reservation in trip advisor to lock in 20% discount - we were pleased with price, food and atmosphere. As we were leaving about 8:30 the restaurant was filling up! One more tip - if you are a beer fan and want a great pre dinner draft beer - hit BrewDog up before dinner - they open at 6pm and only a 3 block walk to Taj Mahal.
