Ragu tagliatelle, tortellini soup & schnitzel in a relaxed space with communal tables & local wine.via Google

It is the quintessential student tavern where long communal tables foster conversation over steaming bowls of fresh pasta.

We wanted to visit this very popular tavern in Bologna because many people recommended it. The que is constant but bearable, on a busy Saturday evening we waited around 50 min. We were also seated in the basement room, fitted with around 20 tables. Food was great but not mindblowing, yet reportedly from local producers, which shows by the excellent quality. The traditional tagliatelle al ragu were super, but I had more delicious one nearby. The desserts were simple but absolutely wonderful. The setting is tight and noisy, yet lively and with vibrant atmosphere. To sum up, it was a great experience, we felt the culture and the food was super, but this one is probably not the best of the best experiences in the city.

I went here based on all the high ratings but probably should have read the reviews a bit closer because my expectations were too high. This is a really simple, no-frills restaurant. They have a small menu, all the food we tried was good but not life changing. I don't even think that's what they're going for. It's all served really fast so they can change tables over quickly. We went on a Sunday around 6 PM and didn't have to wait in line but saw lines later on. Personally, not something I'd wait in line for but if you're in the area and it's not too busy I would recommend for quality, fast, affordable food

The dish I ordered (the one in my photo, I unfortunately forgot its name) was absolutely delicious. I actually preferred it over the lasagna. The lasagna was very good as well, but this dish, with its pesto sauce, had a very good aroma and flavor that really stood out. The portion size, price, and taste were all good. In my opinion, it is definitely worth the wait, even if there is a line. Unfortunately, the tiramisu was sold out when we visited, so we ordered the cream dessert instead. It turned out to be very tasty as well, and we enjoyed it.

We 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!
