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).

Stopped in as part of a food tour, so the experience was probably different than it would be if we…read morehad just popped in. Ultimately, it's a vibe. 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.

During a day of walking around Bologna center, we stopped by for a bite to eat. We ordered a board…read morefor two people (we were 4), sampled meats, fruits, and spreads.

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

We were just asked to take a seat and it might be a while. Great. We got lucky there were parties before us that were waiting to seat 3 or 4. Within 10 minutes we were seated ahead of the larger parties. The place sits about 24 inside and almost that many outside. We looked around and almost all young Italians. A great sign. The place had energy. We looked at the food around us and we were happy. The menu is not very large which can someone very good...let's cook what we do best. Since the pasta dishes looked so good we had to have them. Tagliatelle Ragu and the Spaghetti alla Gricia with Guanciale. Both dishes were amazing. Delicious!
