Amazing experience. Customer service was great. We had many questions that led to a great conversation, felt very personal and natural. Food was absolutely amazing. I will be returning here everything I am in Bologna. Food can be taken to go or eaten in the street. Lovely ambiance with a bar across the street, can get a drink with your meal. read more

Pasta Fresca Naldi - Italian Near Me - Bologna, BO

Recommended by Yelp, Google, the air bnb host and now me! This was easily my favorite food destination in all of Bologna. It was also my favorite interaction in Italy! 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! read more

This takeout shop served the best tortellini al brodo and tagliatelle al ragu on my trip to Bologna. The shop is takeout only. I was advised to go to the nearby bar to eat. The tortellini is small like a thimble. The wrap is soft with a smidge of ham inside. A fragrant clear broth made this dish perfect. The tagliatelle was perfectly al dente and the ragu was well seasoned. This shop was what I wanted to find in Bologna. Honest. Local. Delicious! read more

Delicious tortellini en brodo but the tagialette needed a bit more flavor. Shop is takeout only and I would advise you to go to the bar in the corner to order a drink and enjoy your food there. Seems like that's what most people do and their drinks are so affordable. Overall can't beat the price for some delicious fresh pasta, looks like only 2 people runs the business and that's when you know the family owned shop is legit. read more

A charming spot run by older ladies where you can taste fresh pasta made with care. It's very small (about 7 counter stools) so most people do takeaway. We chose this spot as dinner #2 since it was right across from dinner #1 (a pizza spot). Tried the Bolognese (when in Bologna, right?) and the Tortellini in Broth. The broth was very comforting and nice to drink soup when it's been a few days of pasta and focaccia. You can taste the difference in the pasta texture for sure. Prices are extremely reasonable, so come to this spot for a no-fuss pasta option! read more

Pasta Fresca Naldi - Bolognese and Tortellini in Broth - Italian Near Me - Bologna, BO

I think this place is overhyped, but then again this was the only strictly fresh pasta place I tried (but NOT the only fresh pasta I tried in Italy). You can see the ladies (a mix of young and old) working large batches right behind the counter. They also have premade panna cotta and creme caramel. Pasta was okay, and it IS freshly made, but don't expect anything out of the ordinary based on the generous five star reviews on travel sites. Overall, it's a good option for last minute take-out, but I don't think it's a place worthy to go out of your way for, unless you have time to kill or are staying nearby. FOOD// All ready-to-eat pasta come in a sealed plastic container (no worry of leaks if you're taking it back). Plastic-ware and napkins provided. Portions and prices are equivalent to a sit-down restaurant without the sit-down experience unless one of the few stools inside the place is open. Alternatively, you can go to the bar catty corner from Naldi's, where you can sit outside at one of their tables so long as you order a drink. The latter is the better option since Naldi's is quite small (like, 5 other people waiting alongside you already feels like a crowd). They have a buzzer system now, so after you order you can go get yourself a table and drink across the street then go pick up when your buzzer goes off. Also, no worries on the language barrier. As of 2018, menu is in both English and Italian, and there are several multilingual signs inside (English, Japanese, Chinese, French). NOTE that although the place opens at 9am, they don't serve lunch items until after 12pm or 12:30pm. read more

Delicious. Fresh. Quick. I definitely recommend. There is not seating, so it's a take-away place. The lasagna alla bolognese was the best I've ever had! read more

This is hands down the BEST pasta I have ever had! Small unassuming shop that is always busy. You can see the pasta being made with great care. They are very helpful in there and if you go inside there are some English menus. Went for the Tortellini with Ragu sauce. Obviously with cheese on top! Freshly made as had to wait 5 or so minutes to get our boxes of pasta. We wandered down the road to a bar who were happy for us to eat there whilst we ordered some drinks! Best pasta place in Bologna no doubt. read more

With the unfortunate prospect of time only for a quick lunch in Bologna, we chose Pasta Fresca Naldi. The sweetest ladies own and operate this restaurant and while I ordered just 2 pastas she gave me a 3rd pasta for free as it was our first time in Bologna. Gracie Mille. All the pastas here are made by hand and it is well worth considering one with ingredients that are in season. Pro Tip: With food in hand we went to a bar across the street where we enjoyed some wine with our pasta. read more

The place is so small that I thought I was at the wrong place. but wow... I had the best pasta here in this tiny store. The tortellini in beef and chicken broth is to die for, it was so good that not only we finished it all there, we packed a box to go for our train ride 2 hour later. This is mostly a to-go place that can seat 8 people (very uncomfortably) max. It seems to be a local favourite that a lot of regulars were there getting their usuals.The lady who appears to be the one running the store is super friendly and helpful. She handed us the English menu when we were scratching our head over the Italian on the blackboard, and gave us some free samples before we left. If I can choose one place to go back to in Bologna it'd be Naldi's. read more

This place is tucked away and worth the trip for authentic pasta. We tried the Tagliatelle al ragù and Ravioli Pomodoro.... both were delicious. You can eat there at the counter or take away. The staff was very friendly and happy to help, but not in English. read more

When in Bologna, you must go here! Yes, there is a whole kitchen of ladies making the pasta, but it's not as rustic as I had expected. We ordered the bolognese and tortellini en brodo. The food came in about 10 minutes in plastic packaging (I wish they didn't use the plastic, but the space is small so I think it's easier to take it away). The food was delicious, the broth was so comforting and it was nice to have a change from the other pasta dishes after traveling for almost two weeks in Italy. It reminded me of a Chinese wonton soup broth. Worth the hike we took from the main square to come here! read more

Great experience at this pasta shop that mainly do take-out. The fresh pasta menu change very frequently, the have lot different style, even lasagna. What make the place interesting to me is the history of the cooks. I felt there is only tourist in that place, it can be quickly packed during the lunch as there is only a dozen of seats. Prices are correct, we wanted to try different kind of pasta, but just after one lasagna (the green pasta lasagna), I was almost full! P.S. Because we were in Bologna, I wanted to try this :) read more

Yeah, this is really good stuff. Small store front and there are daily specials but they run out quickly so take advantage when u see them. The tagliatelle with ragu is delightful and your mouth will thank you. This is what you want homemade pasta to taste like. The lemon and pesto sauces are wonderful and u won't be disappointed! read more

THE pasta place in Bologna. My hostel host recommended this place to me. It's small so it gets crowded around lunchtime, but the pasta was definitely worth the wait and 8 euros. read more

Had high expectations. I definitely enjoyed my lunch here, but was not blown away. Cool local vibe.

If you are in Bologna you know now that there is no such thing as Spaghetti Bolognaise no matter what it says on the packaging at the grocery store. All you have to do is go to this fresh pasta shop in the Via del Pratello to understand that never again will you ever refer to such travesties as anything but Baloney! The pasta is fresh. You pick it up and you eat it. That is how simple it is to be blessed with the best. You can sit in the corner cafe across the street and drink a glass of wine you can take it home ; however you eat it it is the best ever. read more

Amazing! I have never written a Yelp review before, but this was worth it! Love the tortellini with chicken and beef broth! Keep it up!

This is a wonderful, very small, place that serves beautifully made fresh pasta. They've been in business for 30 years, and before that the same space was also a pasta shop for 25 years. It's haunted by great pasta! :) Pasta Fresca Naldi is strictly take out, although the ladies that run it are friends with the little snack bar across the street and happily direct you to sit over there, order a drink, and eat their wonderful pasta. They will even bring the pasta out to you when it's ready, and you just go pay when you are done. Fantastic pasta at very reasonable (cheap!) prices. I'm already missing it. read more

The first time I came here, I ordered the pumpkin tortelloni. Since i didn't want to sit in the small restaurant, I took it to go, only to realize that they had given me cheese tortelloni instead of pumpkin. I figured I may have ordered it wrong. My Italian is rough and there was a chance I misread the menu and mixed up the two flavors and ordered cheese tortelloni with sage by accident. Upon returning a few weeks later, I realized cheese with sage wasn't a menu option, confirming that I most likely did order the correct food the first time. Anyway, this time I went for the pumpkin again. It was delicious and filling, a good amount for €7. I just wish they'd given me the correct order the first time since I didn't care for the first order. It was awfully bland, sadly. I would still return though since it's so reasonably priced and I'm interested in trying a more tomato-y dish from this place. read more

Absolutely amazing pasta. Handmade and delicious! Was in Bologna as Part of my vacation throughout Italy and I think the pasta here alone made it worth the trip alone. Absolutely delicious!!! read more
