Friendly staff and cozy atmosphere. We went here twice. Once for a pasta demonstration and lunch. The lunch was exquisite. Later we went for dinner and a jazz show. Talented musicians and another incredible meal.

I wandered in for dinner during the book fair and had an incredible meal of mortadella (in a foam version too! Weird sounding but it works), bruschetta, a fennel salad, and the classic tagliatelle. All delicious, in a lovely setting (I didn’t stay for the live jazz but heard a nice warm-up set), and friendly staff. A great spot for a large group as well, with a fun cavernous feel and subterranean area.

I can't recommend this place enough!!! somewhere where you don't have to sacrifice on the quality of the food to have a great atmosphere. The food was delicious, the music was great, and the staff were absolutely incredible, really pay attention to detail and super polite. If you want a nice date night in Bologna, check out this place!

Amazing place! Was at 70% full on a Monday night so you know it's good. Service, ambience, jazz music playing, delicious food. All flawless. 10/10

Rustic and unique restaurant right in the heart of the city, offering local food and music entertainment, with outdoors sits as well as indoors. Food was visually appealing but not memorable and the service perhaps a bit distracted, I’d like to think due to the hectic crowd. But the music and atmosphere make this place absolutely worth visiting! The wine must be good too because clients were dancing happily!
