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.

If you're looking for a late brunch, this is a good place to go. However, I've had much better…read morebrunch in the U.S many times! The food came fast and big portioned but the quality was okay. My egg scramble was made with different ingredients than what I requested. The hashbrown tasted really weird too. Not sure what they put in it and how they made it. Also my friend's order which stated 2 eggs on thr menu came with just one egg. I don't think the waitress was very attentive. Overall it was okay for a late breakfast.

I always find it interesting going to American restaurants while abroad because I would say this…read moreplace understood what American diner food is pretty well. The decor was also very fun and they have a downstairs arcade room. It's interesting to see how other countries view American culture. There was also a statue of Marilyn Monroe at the entrance. I would say the portions are pretty big and kept us full for hours. The milkshakes are a bit watery but I've noticed that it's been a trend for all milkshakes I've had in European countries so far. They also had Mountain Dew and Dr. Pepper which is rare to find in Florence, so that's always a plus. The workers are also very friendly and get your food out fairly fast.

Dinner in Florence. Recommended by our hotel's front desk…read moreShort walk from hotel. Small varied menu. My BH and I split a cod platter and desert. Only seats about 20 people. Brick arches and plaster walls evoke a wine cellar. Lots of different wine bottles on display. While nodding to the tourist audience, seemed filled with locals. Food was delicious.

"Great Interiors, good food, service to be improved."…read more The title says it all, this is, interiors and atmosphere-wise the best American diner in Florence. Food is good, not US standards but no complaint there. Service is a bit shoddy, the waitresses on skates are a nice touch, but the level of service is "average Italian". All in all a good place, could be the "best" but they need to work on it!

My kids had both the worse burger and worse milkshake of their lives today at lunch…read more The cheese burger was so greasy the bun was soaked through. The milkshake was over 3/4 whipped cream with a few sips of milkshake hiding underneath. You can get a much better burger for less money by San Spirito.

It reminds me of when I first lived in China, over 20 years ago. When locals would construct a…read morebusiness to appeal to westerners, a few things would be jarringly just slightly off. Such is the case of the 1950 American diner in Florence. Perhaps we should give them the benefit of the doubt for their "artistic interpretation" of an American diner? You'll note the playlist of "American rock and roll" are cover artists singing the songs reminiscent of the era, but not precisely from the era. And the cover artists are unrecognizable. The walls are full of reproduction items and ads from the era. The food was ok in preparation and plating, but it's overpriced for what you get. There was a woman on roller skates, and apparently, that was her only job, she wasn't taking orders or delivering food. Just skating. They have some arcade and pinball machines on the lower level. This visit was early April 2022, and they insisted on seeing vax proof before allowing you in. One could have a lot of trips to McDonald's for what you'll spend here. Also, they should add "American breakfast" to the menu, and open earlier than 7PM.

The American diner in Calenzano was one of the first American friendly restaurants open up around…read moreFlorence, of course I immediately stress all my friends to go there, and the first time strictly dress code. Plus points: * The burgers are delicious and the desserts even better. * The restaurant is delicious, American-style 50ies, complete with a Cadillac, waiters and waitresses with suspenders or as pin up on skates. Minus points: * The disorganization. You must book in advance to be able to have a nice opportunity to wait half an hour / an hour for a table. Oh yes, because would you expect to have the table you reserved without waiting? Too simple! They always invoke the excuse of something unexpected that they just couldn't imagine would happen exactly today ... * Being a bit 'naught. To get to this Diner you must have a car, cause it is out of the city center, out of the city center surroundings, in the industrial area of ​​Calenzano ... Landscape 2.0 Despite everything you do still forgive, as soon as you can sit down: you always get out satisfied and full as an egg. Better organization in the one opened in Florence, anyway. Recommended bacon cheeseburger, the banana split and the Oreo cake. Even the chocolate milkshake isn't that bad.

Interior in 1950s diner style, all kinds of artifacts from USA (license plates, football team…read moresymbols, etc.). Waitresses are serving your food on roller skates (or at least take you to your table ). Very good burgers, onion rings were good (but too few), Cesar's salad and the Mexican wrap was not our taste... But definitely worth a visit and we'll go there again!

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.
