There is no seating inside but it was super easy to order as everyone spoke nearly perfect English. We ordered three different types of pizza that I can't remember what they were but everything was so delicious! Crust was thin and chewy and toppings were plentiful. We could tell it was a popular spot as there were tons of people standing outside waiting or eating

Our drinks arrived in about 7 mins but my lunch didn't arrive for another 12. The tagliatelle was excellent. There was plenty of bolognese accompanying the al dente pasta. It was a perfect combination. The service was pretty rough. Our server was gruff and not very efficient. He seemed more intent on his cigarette than us.

After walking around the city we stopped in for dinner, I felt a little under dressed however we were immediately greeted and seated with no wait or hesitation. This spot would be great for a date night, we sat next to another couple that was celebrating. For our appetizer we ordered the smoked goose breast, it was decadent, had a rich Smokey flavor but it was also light, a great start to our dinner. For our main course I ordered the pistachio crusted sea bass with spinach, and my partner the traditional Bolognese. For dessert, a tiramisu that had maybe a little too much chocolate powder on it and I would've loved some more berries on the plate but delicious nonetheless. We enjoyed every bite and recommend Franco Rossi when in Bologna.

It's made from bread crumbs, eggs and lots of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese. There are two preparations on the menu: alla Romagnola (with butter and some tasty type of cured meat) and in Brodo (in broth). Both are divine! Also, the Tigelle (small pancake shaped breads) are epic when sliced open and filled with the "pesto" made of lardo (pork fat) and fresh herbs. It's downright delicious made only more tasty if you decide to add mortadella to the mix. And, they have a Lambrusco (sparkling red wine with gold top) on the list that should not be missed! #JustSaying

The staff spoke excellent English and made us feel right at ease. The menu is not extensive but but it is excellent. We started with the vegetarian soufflé antipasto. Such a delicate flavor! Each of us then had a pasta course. All were delightful. (Of course we had wine which was delicious). For dessert we split the torta al riso (which turns out to be a regional favorite) and the crema inglese. Yum. Yum. Yum. Not only was the food delicious but the staff so kind and helpful. Definitely if ever back in the area would go again and recommended it to our guide to spread the word for other hungry but weary travelers. Grazie Mille!

This is truly a family owned restuarant. The father is the chef, the two eldest sons service the dining area, the youngest son stokes the stone pizza oven and the mother oversees the till. What to expect: The main dining area is open and seats approximately 50 and the enclosed patio can seat another 20. The decor is simple but tasteful. The menu is varied and includes a variety of antipasti, zuppa & insalate, pasta, secondi, pizza and dolci options to choose from. Pesce options abound on the main dish menu. The wine list is robust with a regional focus. Service is gracious but you can expect a full dining experience to run 2-3 hours in the true Italian tradition. Everything on the menu is a delight and my personal favorites include the pizza di mare and balsamic steak options which are nearly impossible to find in the U.S. In a nutshell, great food served in a low key atmospherse at very reasonable prices offered up by some of the nicest people you'll ever meet.

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!

It was especially great for us that it was covered seating, as it was raining all day. We started with some bruschetta. It was forgettable bread but the tomatoes and oil were both pretty good - not amazing. We eat got a pizza, and both fell in love. We went here on recommendation that it was the best pizza in italy (including Naples) and we concur (only thing better is chicago deep dish). Definitely stop by if you have time - you wont be disappointed.
