Banco 32, Mercato Delle Erbe — Restaurant in Bologna

I was here always for lunch, never for dinner (when they serve tapas, so smaller portions). I love this place, the fish is fresh and the pairings with side dish/vegetable always amazing. The serving portions are okay for primi piatti (i.e. pasta) not the usual huge Italian size, but a decent portion, appetizer also good (if in combination with pasta, better to share the appetizer... Or 2, when hungry, they are always amazing). Service is also friendly and location is cozy. For the opening time, better check their website on FB, it gives...

We found this place late in the evening when strolling through the city. The area is nice and there is good atmosphere so we sat down at this place. The woman who did the service was attentive and helped us finding the best tapas in the menu. Trying to have conversation in italian with her worked our really good for us as tourists and the evening was entertaining and funny for us. Food was also enjoyable. I miss such good service back at our hometown!...

Absolutely loved this concept of the fish tapas, which allows one to sample various delicacies at reasonable prices. The menu apparently keeps changing. Everything that we tried was freshly made and tasty. Special mention is due to the lasagna and swordfish arancini. The prawns wrapped in crispy noodles is innovative. The service was friendly and the place warm and comforting on a bitterly cold night. Highly recommended. Will surely go back to try...
