Boavista - BOLOGNA

Trendy and popular hot spot, ideal for a drink after dinner. It is in the very centre of Bologna, parking is hard.

Passed this bar a couple of times and thought it was new. Went in for a drink and was pleasantly surprised. The place is not your typical Bolognese bar more in keeping with somewhere in London. Had a couple of glasses of prosecco and was also given a substantial plate of tapas, which , to get nibbles with drinks is not unusual in Italy. Good bar which I'm sure has a good vibe later on

My date and I each had a glass of wine for 7 or 8 euros and enjoyed the aperitivo which was buffet style. The food was very good and of course a great value if you are very hungry. The service was exceptional. We arrived 15 minutes before the aperitivo ended and the servers made sure we filled up enough plates before clearing everything. Even after they took away the food, they asked if we wanted anything else. When we said no, they still brought us some bar snacks (olives and chips). I would go regularly if I lived in Bologna.

It's the second time I walk in and I have to say a quiet place

Experience was not particularly positive. the ordered drinks were not of our liking. service is unfortunately a little good. I'll come back and give you another chance, but the first experience wasn't positive.
