We had some very good pizzas, which were huge (a little too huge). Gluten-free options are available. However, the service was a bit expensive.

This restaurant was recommended by The Guardian and it's reviews were good. We arrived without a reservation and were able to sit outside. Service was friendly and prompt. We had gluten free pasta Ragu which was very tasty and pasta cooked perfectly. My husband had sausage pasta which was also nice but pasta was a little too al dente but still tasty. I didn't fancy any of the desserts as only the chocolate cake was gluten free and I'm not a fan of chocolate cake. They did offer to do me a bowl of strawberries, which were delicious and very large portion. Wine and local beer very good and service good. Bill came to €50. Would definitely recommend.

This was a truly perfect meal, I could not recommend it more! Wanted to try everything on the menu but couldn't be more pleased with what we got! (Tortellini en brodo, ragu, lasagna on special, gramigna with sauage) They also had delicious gluten free pasta for those needing. The staff was so kind and welcoming. Call for a reservation!

Restaurant with lots of seating close to the centre. Good first courses, not very fast service. Excellent for those who have not booked in advance and are looking for a place in the centre. Adequate prices given the proximity to the center . Note on gluten-free dishes!

A Saturday lunch in the heart of the center of Bologna, everything perfect; by the kindness of the staff, an excellent traditional Bolognese menu, the elegant but not stuffy environment. Possibility of gluten-free pasta. The only negative point was the slowness of the kitchen.

The best ever! Franco Rossi Catering is a real guarantee! He served each of the 250 guests at our wedding excellently. He handled every need and alternative menu impeccably, professionally and thoughtfully (we had about 5 alternative menus to the main one: vegetarian, celiac, children's menu, blank menu and a menu for particular allergies). The contact person for the entire organization was Giuseppe, friendly and helpful, he followed us from the initial contact to the choice of the mise en place, the menu and the wines. Also present for the entire duration of the reception, he was always a point of reference and managed every moment of the evening perfectly. The dining room staff was impeccable, careful to ensure that nothing was ever missing for anyone, from drinking at the table to serving the elderly by hand during the aperitif. They were quick with their service and allowed us to get back on schedule despite our initial delay. Excellent kitchen staff! For both the aperitif and the dinner we received compliments from all the guests. We were really very happy and we will not fail to recommend Franco Rossi both as a caterer and as a restaurant. Thank you very much again for making our day special and unique and for making our guests feel good! See you soon, Michael and Mila

Definitely a very high level restaurant. Wise search for combinations that go well with my tastes. Pre-appetizer finger food tasty and beautiful to look at and good quality bread products. With pigeon and quail I relived flavors of childhood recalling good memories and with the dessert a truly excellent finish with a refined mix of fruit and basil aromas. All in a historic location and truly impeccable service even on gluten free.

I had a graduation lunch with family and some friends. Very kind staff, even regarding the possibility of bringing a cake from outside (with receipt obviously). The cuisine is spectacular, they have the option of gluten-free tagliatelle to satisfy any needs, the place is non-touristy, very authentic and intimate. Great find!

I found this restaurant because it was close to my accommodation. I don't know the name of the food, and the staff seemed busy so I felt bad about asking, so I roughly picked the one that had the original recipe and gluten-free marks on the picture. The steak was delicious, but I didn't feel anything special about it. Pickled vegetables? The same appetizer is more refreshing and refreshing than it looks and is not too salty, but it is delicious, so eating it with other dishes is good for digestion and helps refresh your mouth. I ate it separately from the steak because I accidentally asked for it to be served in order, but it would have been better if we had eaten it together. Would you like to go back and pickle vegetables before leaving Bologna? I will eat it again with other dishes. Since I don't know Italian, I had few opportunities to eat vegetables throughout the trip, so this was a good opportunity.
