Hamerica's - Santo Stefano — Restaurant in Bologna

We came here curious to see how Italians would interpret American comfort food, and this place absolutely nailed it. I ordered the Blue Cheese Burger, and it was hands done one of the best burgers I have had. The meat was juicy, perfectly cooked, and the blue cheese added a rich flavor without overpowering everything else. The burger was served with a side of fries in a small metal container that stayed hot the entire meal. If you're not into burgers, the large menu has something the whole family can enjoy. We even finished off our meal with espresso, which is not a traditionally American thing but still delicious.

The restaurant itself had a really cool aesthetic. Think retro vibes with a small twist. There were old-timey portraits of people doing modern things, like holding an ipad, and a floor to ceiling window that made for a great photo op. There's even an open kitchen side of the restaurant where you can watch the chefs work, although we were not seated on that side.

If you are an American in Italy craving some comfort food, or even just someone who wants to try something new. I definitely recommend checking...

The food exceeded my expectations as it was both visually appealing and delicious. I was interested in eating at this restaurant because I was curious to see how American dishes were prepared in this restaurant in Italy. The menu had an abundance of options of different dishes and included a vegan section which I found surprising. While I did not order a burger, I found that the visual appeal of them surpassed ones I would get at home. There was less grease and the portion size fit the price of the meal. The major key difference I noticed compared to a burger I would order in the US, was that there was no pickle on the side. In terms of the aesthetic vision of the restaurant, there were portraits of historical figures using modern devices such as head phones or iPads which I found amusing. There were also colorful chandeliers which added an element of sophistication to this restaurant known for their burgers. I ordered the Thai Chicken bowl and while I found this delicious, I was expecting it to be spicier. We went there for lunch so it was not that busy and therefore I found the meal...

We went to the place as a party of 5 for lunch on Sunday. First, it took long time before anybody showed up an took our order, even though staff was running around frantically. Then we waited even longer for our meals, while unfortunately they did not bring them together, but with a long break in between. Some plates arrived pretty cold (nachos as appetizer and chicken sandwich). The other meals ( salad, burrito, veggie burger) were ok, but similar to fast food quality. All the time anybody from the staff did not come to ask us for patience or explain delays. As the "highlight" of our lunch at the end, we witnessed an loud argument of the staff members (?) coming from the "Employees only" area. Overall not a...
