Oh boy. This place…read more Bologna has some amazing restaurants, but this ain't one. From the minute we walked in until our pizza arrived, it was 50 minutes. Fifty. For pizza. (I checked the time on the corresponding photos I took.) The big problem seemed to be staffing. There were two women who seemed to be waiting on the whole restaurant. We were seated and then we waited and waited and waited and finally got menus and water. And then we waited and waited. And eventually we ordered. More waiting. Then the pizza finally came. It was tasty, but not remotely worth the wait. Someone knocked over a glass, which broke on the floor. No one cleaned it up for 15 minutes. For reasons unknown, you have to take your bill to the front of the restaurant. Their credit card machine was conveniently "broken," so we had to pay in cash. I don't care how good your food is. If the service is lousy and nobody seems to care about you, I can't dish out more than two stars.

Excellent service (waiter spoke English and they had an English menu), delicious pizza, nice mixed salad big enough to split. We ordered 2 pizzas: a marguerita and another similar but also with sausage and olives. Both scrumptious....should have split because we took half of each home! Diners around us were having seafood that looked really good. Large space, light and classy, with real cloth napkins. Total was €35 for 2 pizzas, salad, coke and Pellegrini. A deal.

In short, a place that you'd be happy to stop by for a taglio when you have the hankering, but not really a Desti stimo...

There is no seating inside but it was super easy to order as everyone spoke nearly perfect English.

We could tell it was a popular spot as there were tons of people standing outside waiting or eating

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.

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.

Seafood, pizza, pasta, sandwiches, burgers... as well as drinks and desserts. There is a common area of tables and chairs, plus a few restaurants with their own seats. It's crazy busy during dining hours, so go at off hours if you can to avoid the crowd. Many of the shops have bilingual menus or visual displays of their dishes, plus a staff with good command of English, so ordering shouldn't be difficult. We ate at one of the restaurants called Sorelle Ribelli, and tried a pasta dish gramigna (a local specialty), and it was excellent. Wish we had more time to explore the market better and tried more food, but as it was only a day trip for us we had to move on to sightseeing. If we ever make it back to Bologna, we'd love to stop by again.

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 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.
