Osteria De Poeti Closed - BOLOGNA

Recommended by an Italian friend, we had the opportunity to enjoy amazing different specialties of the area it was the Truffle's season and that was a real delight to degust various dishes combined with the truffle oil) Pasta and meat were a real delight !! Unfortunately, service and staff were way beyond average: we had to wait for more than 45-50 minutes to get the main dish after our pasta and worse: you could call, waive, gesticulate, scream or sing to the waiter .. he would not care the least! It is true the restaurant was fully booked.. that was not a good reason to ruin the quality of excellent food. Pity ...

The place is authentic and interesting, the stuff was professional and pleasant at the beginning, but the food is just average, nothing special, not even fine. When we asked for bill, they brought the one where they added 2 things we didn’t order, of course we asked and they said it was a mistake and brought us the new one, but the fact is that as tourists they were trying to fool us. After we asked them about the mistake they suddenly became very inconsiderate.

Had a reservation for this restaurant, and we were welcomed. It's really pretty and atmospheric. We were not super hungry, so ordered tagliatelle with meat sauce that we split between us. It was good. We also split the veal cutlet with cheese and truffle, it was very tasty. Also got a side dish of salad which was very tastefully dressed with balsamic vinegar. I thought the waitress was not comfortable with us, and someone else took over. But the food was good, and the wine as well. The dessert, a lemon meringue dish with flecks of chocolate was amazing, as was the cappuccino, best I've had in Italy so far. Very enjoyable last meal in Bologna.

Very special place, intimate and romantic atmosphere. The staff were very professional and nice. We took the Fiorentina steak and it was great. Not a cheap restaurant but totally worth it in my opinion

We got burned souffle and tasteless broth. The main courses were faraway warm and hard cutlets were swimming in kind of sauce. Prices were very high vompateilla tolacking quality.
