This place has a nice vibe. We were seated in a sort of sun room but it was well heated for the…read morewinter. There were nice Christmas lights. The staff were friendly and mostly helpful. I got a hot tea with lemon, perfect for the cold. We first got the pizza Bella arte, which has a bunch of toppings. I'm not normally a huge pizza fan, but this one was quite pleasant. The crust was thin and the edges had a nice crisp on the outside, soft on the inside. It was flavored nicely and had a good variety. My only complaint would be that toppings weren't distributed evenly. There was a huge one piece of artichoke that comprised a full bite. We also opted for more traditional Balogna dishes: the tortellini en brodo, which was not bad. Soup was seasoned ok, not too salty or too bland. The tortellini itself was simple, with some meat and cheese. Seems like a nice comfort food for those who grow up with it. The tagliatelle al ragú was seasoned well too, although the actual pasta was not as bouncy as others I've had. Not bad though. However at the end we thought we had ordered panna cotta and for some reason it never came. The waiter later seemed confused even though he previously repeated "dessert panna cotta"... so I don't know. But we decided to go without the dessert.... Unfortunately. Maybe a language issue we had.

Final night in Bologna, found good reviews for Belle Arti. Not many people sitting out front on a a…read moreFriday night, but we were asked if we wanted to sit inside in the garden room instead. Several other groups in there, and it's a really nice spot. Food and wait staff were all wonderful. Our group had a mix of steaks, pizza, tortellini and lamb chops, a well as a caprese-style flatbread, and a carafe of red wine. Prices, like everywhere in Bologna, were all a fraction of what you'd pay for a far worse meal in the US, making it painful to leave town.

Tasty pizza, friendly service!…read more Small but mighty! They carry pizza by the slice with a variety of toppings, both traditional and creative seasonal options. The vegan slices were €3/square, I believe more for the cheese and meat squares. They also do charcuterie boards of aged meats and cheese, and some regional wine and beer too. Ordering is simple, go up to the counter and order directly for take out or sit down at an open seat and they provide service. I wanted specific toppings so chose them up front then sat down, then also went up to the front to pay, so I think that's why they didn't charge a cover charge. When ordering pizza, they reheat the slices for you and it comes served on a wooden cheese/cutting board. I was looking for something less heavy, and loved their seasonal vegan options with unique toppings! I tried one square with black cabbage, the other green chard and marinara sauce. The dough was crisp on the bottom and had the slight chew you want in a good crust. I couldn't help thinking if American pizza shops started putting veggies like this onto their pizzas then American children wouldn't dislike veggies so much. And affordable for a snack/light lunch! Wouldn't hesitate to try some other pizza topping combinations here next time.

The pizza LA D.O.P was great as were the tortelloni with tartufo. Fast service, friendly staff and…read moredelicious food! A must eat at the Mercato dell'Erbe! Came back for another equally delicious pizza the same day for dinner!

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

Amazing restaurant with wonderful vibe, service and comfortable seating. We made a reservation…read moreduring a less busy time earlier in the evening in September.
