Not much of a service as it's buy at the counter however the bartender was one of the friendliest of people around. He was always smiling and had some great suggestions. When you know you are in a small space which has seen the likes of Muhammad Ali and Anthony Bourdain and many other celebrities, you surely feel you are at the correct spot. Buy food as a takeaway and bring it here. You only need to buy drinks, much cheaper than the same restaurants around. Save yourself and do not sit down at any of those tourist traps. You'll thank yourself (and maybe me if you did it after reading this).

It seems exclusively at this point to service food tours, which they seem to do well. We walked to the back by many other tables reserved for other groups. It's somewhat divey, which I think they lean into. The wines were pretty good and curated well for the tour. You're allowed to bring your own food, which is seemingly the thing to do. Would I venture here outside the tour? Probably not. But definitely serves the purpose for the tours.

A mix of Italian , American, and Mexican food, with an inside pub. There were 4 German gentlemen drinking beer from a mini keg. Pretty cool. I ordered the Cotoletta alla Bolognese . Fried veal steak with ham[ prosciutto] and cheese. The price was a whopping 13 bucks. Try ordering that here, forget about it. I also ordered what I thought would be a side salad. It was huge and could probably feed 4 people. My wife ordered one of the pasta dishes. We also had a couple of glasses of red wine. Service was great, food was amazing!!! If I was staying more than just a couple of days in Bologna , I would definitely go back.

I ordered the tortellini and my friend ordered a pizza. The pizza arrived in 10 minutes or less. A full hour after the pizza arrived the waitress came over and mentioned that we ordered tortellini, and before I could say "could we just have the check" she walked away and held up a finger behind her back in the "1 minute" sign without even looking back. The tortellini arrived and she set it in front of my dining partner instead of me, and walked away immediately. We had to ask someone else to give us the check. The tortellini wasn't even good. I'm giving this place two stars instead of one because the pizza was really good and all the other staff were all really nice. We just had a really terrible server that ruined the experience.

I worried because the antipasti was a huge mound of succulent mortadella, along with olives, chickpeas, sausages, fruity things, and a big slab of ricotta. This looked like it was going to be pricey, and I usually shoot for a 10 Euro lunch, and then came the pasta. It was a cream/mascarpone base with crispy fettucine from oven baking accented by bites of toothy sausage and then covered, yes covered, with shaved truffle, with a sprinkle of parmesan. I mean, it was the best pasta dish I've ever had, times ten, and that antipasti was such a feast, and there were no numbers on the menu, so I slipped an extra 50 Euro out of the moneybelt fearing the worst - - but with the sparking water, the bodacious antipasta, and the best pasta ever, it was 29 Euro. The best 29 Euro ever spent for a lunch, hands down. Went a couple blocks and around the corner and had gelato at La Sorbetteria Castiglione and the day was like frickin' OVER (except for the late passeggiata and pub crawl, after the nap).

Every bite of food here was absolutely on point, and the service was rustic but super friendly nonetheless. The must-get appetizer is the Salsa Miste, which came with a dollop of each of their five dips: tzatziki (a creamy yogurt and cucumber dip), melinzanosalata (an eggplant puree), skordalia (a garlicky potato puree), and my two favorites, the taramosalata (fish roe and bread crumbs), and the spicy kafteri (ricotta, feta, and peppers). Each of these dips was completely distinct in flavor, and each of them went perfectly with the triangles of chewy, grilled pita bread that came on the side! For our mains, the Tris Special came with three different meats: gyros (which were carved from a rotating spit and had lots of crispy edges), souvlaki (a pork skewer), and my favorite, the bifteki (a juicy grilled ground beef patty). The plate also came with a dollop of tzatziki and a refreshing Greek salad made of cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, green bell peppers, red onions, and feta cheese. But my favorite entree was the Ceci e Polipo, a super satisfying stew of tender pieces of octopus along with chickpeas cooked in a broth of tomatoes, onions, carrots, and herbs. On top of the great flavors, all the dishes here came at an unbelievable value, and the portion sizes were extremely generous too! What an incredible Greek restaurant!
