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.

Loved this little gem--food was great, service was nice and watching pasta being made was the bonus.read more

On our last night in Bologna, we were lucky enough to get a table and enjoyed one of our best…read moremeals. The service was friendly, attentive, prompt, and helpful. We split the platter of meats, lasagna, tortellini, tagliatelle and ragu, and grilled veggies. The lasagna was soft, pillowy, and decadent without being heavy, the tagliatelle was al dente and flavorful, and the tortellini stuffed with creamy ricotta. For dessert we split a generous portion of tiramisu, which was creamy and rich. We had a couple bottles of Chianti. The ambiance is relaxing with a neighborhood vibes. This is a wonderful osteria, everything was chef's kiss.

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.

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.

We were seated in one of the interior rooms which is small but warm and comfy and dominated by a huge wine fridge. They have an excellent wine list and we choose a san giovese wich has their name in the label. Same with the water bottle. That tells you this place has been around a while. That could be a good thing as it means they sustain quality or maybe not. In this case good sign. the wife ordered the steak with rosemary and a side of roasted potatoes (she wanted the fried but this what they have) she also got a salad. I ordered the capallaci a la carbonara. The side dishes were just unbelievably good. Th potatoes were crispy on the edges and soft inside, they were so full of flavor I could not believe it. Possibly th best roasted potatoes I have ever tasted. The side salad was so fresh and tasty just Aragula , carrots, tomatoes with an excellent olive oil but fresh. The salad was bursting with flavor. We ordererd steak all over Tuscany none compared to this. The pasta .... Wow... Al dente but soft filling with an incredible cream sauce and a crispy guanciale that elevated the dish to perfection. The service was impecable. All in all just a fantastic experience
