We sat in the front bar area at a cozy little table. Our waiter greeted us and brought water as soon as we sat down. He explained some of the dishes too. The waiter was also a bartender and made an amazing espresso martini using Fabrizi syrups. The syrups added a lot of flavor. An ext dove wine list is also available of course. The Lambrusco was very good too. Our waiter recommended the tortellini in forma. It was made table side in a parmigiana wheel. The cheese was creamy and very good. We added white truffles which added a nice contrasting note. It was fun to watch it being prepared! The lasagna verde was good but could have used some more sauce. It was a little dry. . The Stringozzi guanciale E pistachio was good with al dente pasta. The guanciale added a little saltiness with the crunch of the pistachios. The pork loin was good but basic. The potatoes and greens added a nice touch. All in all the restaurant had good food and a nice staff

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.

I ate way too much and I haven't felt so full before but there were no regrets afterward. Everything I tried was absolutely delicious. My favorites came out strong from the start with the Crescentine Con Salumi E Bolognesita. The variety of meats with the puffy bread. Sooo tasty and satisfying especially when paired with the provided pickled veggies and other side. The Tortellini Soup was subtly savory and so warm and cozy to eat. The Tagliatelle Al Ragu was a solid dish with perfectly cooked noodles and a delicious ragu. The Cotoletta was very unnecessary since I was already full by this point but I figured I was on holiday and really wanted to try this scrumptious looking dish. And scrumptious it was! So good. The Panna Cotta was ideal to end the meal and it was very soft and not overly sweet. The staff were very friendly and helpful with the menu as well as a wine pairing suggestion. I was very satisfied with the suggested wine and had an overall fantastic dinner experience.

Their service was great and this is for the Nella Torre location inside the tower and close to the center. I highly recommend their cotelleta all a bolognese which is basically a huge veal cutlet with prosciutto on top with cream sauce layered over it but also get the side of onions that goes well on top of it. I forget the name of it but it's basically onions you would put on top of a hot dog at papaya king NYC for those who know what I'm talking about. Their ragu is no joke as well. I'd buy a jar of it if they sold it to bring back home if possible. A must try is also the gelati al formaggio. Frozen variety of cream with fig jam that is delish. The restaurant is nicely laid out and if your a wine drinker which I wasn't, they have tons of it on the menu. Definitely hit this spot up if you're in Bologna but remember to make an online reservation before going!

Recommended by Yelp, Google, the air bnb host and now me!…read more This was easily my favorite food destination in all of Bologna. It was also my favorite interaction in Italy! The owner had the sweetest smile, was warm and friendly, and even remembered my name from day 1 (yes, I went multiple days!). In all honesty I don't care much for lasagna in the states. However, the green lasagna was the highlight, and paired with the tortellini en brodo...Aaahh! I'm missing it so much right now! It'll forever be a stop I have to make when I'm Bologna, and I hope to see the owner each and every time. Also note that the address on Yelp isn't exact but close enough-don't give up, it's there!

Intro: After exploring Bologna to the fullest, we made our way to Osteria Broccaindosso for dinner…read more Located outside of the heart of Bologna, despite being away from the center of the action, the restaurant was almost full. 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.
