★★★★★4 months agoWe tried three times to eat inside the restaurant. For the first twice, the line was just too long. The third time, we came at 8:30pm, we were the first or second in the waiting line. The food really worths the waiting. Organic quality, great tasty food, very reasonable price- everything. Was perfect. You may have to wait a bit to get the service- since they were so busy and there were so many customers. Best food in Bologna!

★★★★★2 months agoGreat experience dining here for lunch. Cozy ambience with wooden chairs and long benches. I, however, ate in the terrace under the Bologna sun. Everybody was trying the ragu but since i dont eat beef, i went with the pork option and it was fantastic with parmesan cream sauce. And the pea pasta was solid 10/10. Never had a peas pasta and it was delicious. Walk in early to get a table, the lines get long quickly
