I almost wanted to tell them - please treat us with care but we were unimportant. Also the online menu says they offer caprese salad but they have zero salads. When they offer you the mixed vegetables- a definite no. The wine was superb the pasta was average.

In my Italy trip, I stopped by here to have these mini sandwiches on this bread called tigelle…read more They are stuffed with meat and toppings. The place is a small store with some seatings inside and outside. The staff is very friendly. Ordered the Goldy. Nice amount of meat on the sandwiches and each are unique. Warm, freshly made tigelle with a rich, satisfying filling and plenty of flavour in every bite. The bread had that ideal contrast of lightly crisp outside and soft inside, and the portion felt filling without being overly heavy. Perfect for tasting different Modena meat and flavours.

Simple, good, and at a cheap price point. We got the gourmet, and it was great. No complaints.read more

We had a great dinner at Regina Sofia while visiting Bologna. The food was incredible--everything…read morewe ordered was delicious and felt authentic. Our server was kind, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout the meal. The ambiance was enjoyable with outdoor seating. It was quite hot, but that's obviously no fault of the restaurant. The location and atmosphere still made for a pleasant evening. The only surprise was a €2.50 per person charge added to the bill that we weren't expecting. While this may be common in Italy, it wasn't clearly anticipated on our end and caught us off guard. Overall, the excellent food and friendly service made this a very enjoyable dining experience, and I would happily recommend Regina Sofia to anyone visiting Bologna.

As they are just opened and there was no customer at all. An old lady greeted us and seemed very nice but speaks no English, but was understanding with our request. As she was planning to seat us, a younger woman walked in and looked us, then said something to the old lady, then told us there was no table for us. That's all and she walked away! Clearly she was not happy to seen couple of Asian wants to have lunch in her place! Well, that's her losses. We walked out and eat a restaurant right around the corner with amazing foods and services. At the end, we are so glad that we didn't eat there. Judging by the attitude, I won't be expecting their foods would good at all. So, if you are visiting Bologna, avoiding this place by all means!

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.

The menu varies a bit, and is definitely interesting, and worth the visit, if only from a curiosity perspective. And yeah, it's Bologna, so you'll find a bunch of the staples from the region, but that's not why you should come here! Too bad the ambience is more transactional than welcoming, else I'd probably be back more frequently...
