Buca Manzoni - BOLOGNA

This was a very pleasant place. We ate without a reservation at 7 pm,out of season. Local guests arrive at 8:45 so 7 is empty. Typical for Bologna. The food was good renditions f typical Bolognese specialties. I however am not a huge fan of tagliatelle or tortellini, but had to try them. Vegetables grilled and salad were great, large portions. Prices are gentle.

I was already in this place a few years ago and I kept a very good memory, which was widely respected Saturday night for dinner. cutter of mixed cheeses and croutons with mortadella foam, Bolognese (measury) cooked with friggione and to finish the most good fried cream I have ever eaten. super honest account for the amount of stuff eaten, but especially for quality. if you are looking for a typical local Bolognese and in an ideal location for a digestive walk after dinner under the two towers, this is just the right place

Restaurant in more than central location, is characterized by a culinary experience that I recommend to try. reception and attention of the staff (despite being in 11 and with children,) menu rich of dishes of the Bolognese tradition and not (to try absolutely cultivation with meats as appetizer the stinco as second,) quiet and very clean atmosphere. What to say, we will definitely come back!

We spent 5 nights in Bologna, and this was our dinner spot on our first and last nights Wifey started us off with charcuterie, which was a huge portion of meats and cheeses, accompanied by perfect pickled veggies (a bit agrodolce . More than half went home with us, as we were saving ourselves for the next courses. The roasted veggies were fine. The menu was a bit light on vegetables, but we were here in late winter. Sliced beef with baked potatoes is perfectly grilled ribeye with fluffy roasted rosemary potatoes. The potato gnocchi was gloriusly fluffy and chewy (our girls call it pillow pasta . The bolognese was wonderful! There may be witchcraft involved in this recipe. Highly recommend this place. We went back, since it was so good, as well as very well priced. We didn 't see any other Americans either time we went. The staff was welcoming, and other diners were friendly. Fun nights!

Tried it for dinner. My main dish was so bland, it was like something they give you in the hospital when you are on the bland diet. Veal meatloaf was barely seasoned and comes without any sauce or toppings. Pureed potatoes needed salt and butter. Spouse 's gnocchi was okay. Not terrible, but not great. Sorry to say it wasn 't a happy dinner in Bologna, a food-centric city.
