Pros: Great selection for aperitivo, only 7 euros for my drink + tons of options for food - pizza,…read morepotatoes, vegetable dishes, pasta salad, beans, meat, and more. It's a great deal! Lots of outdoor seating, quick service despite only a few servers waiting on all the tables. Cons: Crowded indoors when getting food - the setup is a little inefficient, too narrow. Since they cannot provide warmers for each dish, most of the food was colder than I would have liked. Even some pizzas that we got immediately as they came out were not hot. However, the selection and low cost made up for this. One other thing - there are no labels on any food. Most of it is pretty easy to identify, but as a vegetarian, it was slightly annoying to guess whether or not something would have meat in it. I imagine for someone with allergies, this would be a bigger issue. Overall, great place for aperitivo. They are constantly switching out dishes. I went up for food twice, the second time probably half the dishes had been switched out for other ones, so it is a great way to try many things and sample. Yes, there are cheaper aperitivi in Bologna but the magnitude of Lab 16's is worth the extra few euros compared to other places.
