Bistrot San Mamolo — Restaurant in Bologna

Bistrot San Mamolo was a delightful find on the outskirts of Bologna. As an experienced traveler and food enthusiast, I always seek hidden gems, and this charming restaurant fits the bill.

I opted for the classic Caprese salad, a refreshingly perfect way to start the meal. The tomatoes were flavorful, the mozzarella was creamy and soft, and the basil added a touch of fragrant herbaceousness. It was a simple dish done exceptionally well.

For my main course, I couldn't resist the pizza with prosciutto and mozzarella. The crust was thin and crispy, with a hint of char from the wood-fired oven. The toppings were of the highest quality, with the prosciutto being melt-in-your-mouth tender and the mozzarella gooey and delicious. Each bite was a symphony of textures and flavors.

The atmosphere at Bistrot San Mamolo is warm and inviting. The restaurant is small and intimate, with exposed brick walls and dim lighting that creates a cozy ambiance. The service was friendly and attentive, making the dining experience even more enjoyable.

Overall, Bistrot San Mamolo is a fantastic spot for a delicious and authentic Bolognese meal. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience in this beautiful city. I give it a well-deserved 5 out of 5 stars.

We had dinner here last night as a group of 11, including 5 children, and everything was outstanding. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and well taken care of. The wine selection was excellent, and our server was extremely knowledgeable—his recommendations were spot-on. We enjoyed an exceptional Italian sparkling wine followed by an Amarone della Valpolicella (Fasoli Gino), which was truly remarkable.

The restaurant was very accommodating to the children’s needs, offering flexible options for both meals and desserts. The food was high quality across the board—from the antipasti to the primi and secondi piatti.

The atmosphere was perfect. Tucked away in a quiet, residential part of San Mamolo, it offers a peaceful, authentic setting far from the tourist crowds. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a traditional, local dining experience with outstanding service and...

Best pizza place in Bologna. Great pizza dough, fresh ingredients, and nice presentation. (They also serve pasta dishes, but once you try one of Fabio’s pizzas, you will get addicted. We’ve been having dinner here for the past four days.) Great red and white house wines on tap (make sure you order 0.5 liter). And their prices are surprisingly affordable for Bologna.

The manager, Manuel, is always very accommodating - even with last-minute reservation changes. And Michele, the waiter, always gives you complementary limoncello at the end of your meal. They also do takeaway....
