My wife had the lasagne for her entree, I had seafood. My wife said her lasagne was different from the last place she had it a couple days earlier in Bologna, but no less spectacular. I agreed, and my seafood was nothing less. The ambiance on a quiet side street (maybe in the Jewish quarter) was a great way to enjoy a Bolognese night.

Intro: After exploring Bologna to the fullest, we made our way to Osteria Broccaindosso for dinner…read more Located outside of the heart of Bologna, despite being away from the center of the action, the restaurant was almost full. They didn't have any tables outside so we were seated inside. Service (3.5/5): No WiFi unfortunately which isn't great for an international traveler like me. Standard European service. Not terribly friendly and not terribly efficient but I would say they were a bit more attentive than the norm. They did hook us up with some complimentary limoncello shots which was a really nice touch. Ambiance (3.5/5): A little quieter since it's off the beaten path which I like. A pleasant, homey restaurant. Drinks (4.5/5): We shared a bottle of wine. And the aforementioned limoncello shots. Food (4/5): We went with their pasta for two deal where each person gets three different types of pasta that you choose from six or so options. I love getting a variety of dishes so this was a nice way to do it. Not huge portions given the price but still delicious. The dishes were served to us quickly and we got to try some pastas we had never heard of. Overall: When in Bologna, Osteria Broccaindosso makes for a fine choice. It's a 15-minute walk or so from the center of town.

I also later met someone who lives in Bologna with his family and he said this restaurant was very good and well known among the locals! I went here in the summer of 2019. The restaurant is cute and the food delicious. I clearly am not familiar with authentic Italian food or what is mind blowing delicious because I thought it was okay. I probably need to try it again just to make sure. I'm sure I'm missing something here!

Don't be alarmed if you find yourself in this neighborhood in Bologna, Italy. We have found that…read moregraffiti is pretty much everywhere in every major Italian city. We found this little restaurante/pizzeria on Via di Corticella to be charming and the staff was very friendly. They were also very accommodating to two English speaking Americans who knew little of the Italian Language. The waitress brought us two english menus that looked as if they had been stored away for a while, along with an italian/english culinary dictionary to help our understanding of the menu. On advise from a friend, we only ordered the house wine while in Italy. The house wine at this little bistro restaurant is served in a little pitcher and even their red wine is served cold which was very good. It's also extremely affordable. We also tried the salad di mare (seafood salad) and if you're not squeamish about octopi, it is a great option. It was fresh and tasty. We also tried the margarita pizza which is different from American style in that it has no basil or tomatoes. It was also very good. Lastly, we shared the crab ravioli which was awesome. The staff was very nice and friendly and as the other reviewer said...the place is full of italians in this tight little outside (under umbrella) bistro. We have tried many other restaurants from Venice, Florence, Rimini, and Bologna. This one, as minimalistic, unpretentious, and casual as it is, was one of the better ones we tried. The neighborhood looks rough, but we had no problems at all walking around this area.

It was an amazing artichoke and cheese concoction with a shredded artichoke salad on the side. The pastas were all very good. The bolognese had tender meat with a tasty sauce. The tortellini in beef broth is also a local winter dish. The tortellini were filled with a nice mixture of beef and cheese with a full bodied beef broth. A simple but delicious dish! I'm usually not a truffle fan but the spaghetti with black truffles had a good balance of truffle flavor without being overpowering. The scalloping with cheese and Parma ham was tasty. The meat was tender, the cheese side decadent and the ham added a bit of salty flavor. We were too full for dessert!

You need to call to confirm, but it was very easy. The man who answered did not speak English, but thankfully I was prepared to ask in Italian if he did, and he was able to get another staffmember who took care of us. The pasta is terrific, and the portions/prices are perfect. The classic Bolognese dish, the ragu tagliatelle, was very good, but the standout was the black truffle tortelloni. The sauces was so buttery and rich, it was incredible. If I lived close by, I would be here at least once a week just for that dish.
