1. Antica Osteria Le Mura, Bologna

4.7/5

£20Reservation AvailableWestern-styleOpen Late
TheForkUserThe menu choices were few, split between creative and traditional so it was easy to choose. Between the four of us we tried a starter cheese board (a little small for the price, but excellent selection) plus three "primi" and one "cotelleta," all excellent and generous portions. Our waiter helped us choose a wine that was perfect for what we wanted. The two desserts we ordered were creative and excellent. If we lived in Bologna we'd go back for sure.

TheForkUserWe had a large group of 10 and we were all taken care of! The food was delicious and the service was great. This dinner was a thank you for the team that worked during the book fair. We will go back again next year!

TheForkUserThe tortellini in broth was delicious - I could have easily eaten two bowls. Also the semifreddo with passion fruit was “icing on the cake”!

5. IL Santo Bevitore

TheForkUserHad a great time as a solo diner. There eas a big football (soccer for the US readers) match being shown and so many folks came out to enjoy it. This also afforded me the ability to see a wide variety of their dishes being served. I ordered the pasta with parmesan cream, guanciale and crispy fried zucchini, a salad and a tiramisu. All were delicious and filling. The one guy acting as host, waitperson, server and busser was so impressive.

Accompanied by a very friendly and smiling waiter. Ambiance in the restaurant was soothing, vibrant and a perfect match for the full experience.

TheForkUserI would give Il Posto more than five stars if it were possible. I cannot remember a more delicious, original and pleasant meal. The three of us, all foodies, ordered much more than we needed because we wanted to try everything and nothing disappointed. Bravo to the chef and his staff.
