The true taste of Bologna in my opinion. You can not only taste the finest ingredients but also the honesty they cook with. Simple , home cooked style of food. The food, service and atmosphere have a very warm and welcoming vibe that was just perfect for a chilly winter lunch. Pumpkin Gnocchi with Sage and butter - perfectly cushiony gnocchi with the butter glazing every morsel. Gramigna Pasta with Mascarpone and Sausage - DIVINE in its simplistic perfection. I am dreaming about this pasta. Yellow Ragu - The depth of flavours was astonishing. Best bolognese in Bologna! Pumpkin Ravioli in Parmesan sauce - We couldnt have enough of the pasta so we ordered another plate (4 plates of pasta for 3 people sounds right doesnt it?). Rabbit Roulade - melt in your mouch meat with that tremendouse flavour as in the Ragu. 4 pastas, 1 secondo, 1 bottle of Sangiovese - 84 EUR. If you are looking to have an unbelievable meal savouring the true flavours of Bologna...this is it! ALL THE STARS TO...

Portion sizes: i’d say these are moderate dishes if you are two, one shared starter and two main courses is pretty much ok. Except if you want dessert. The service: they bring in the food super fast, no much wait. The place is rather small, no more than 12 tables. So they can handle pretty well. This is a mom’ & paps’ restaurant. They serve the place pretty...
Read moreFantastic little restaurant serving delicious pastas (and other things). The menu is small, but everything is fresh and tasty and there are some very clever and creative dishes you won’t see elsewhere, like caramelle pasta with scamorza and radicchio. Service is incredibly friendly, Roberto is hilarious. The wine list is extensive and very good as well. The restaurant itself feels very homey with a nice outdoor patio too, perfect for date nights or a dinner with friends and family. It’s also reasonably priced for the quality of food and service. I’ve been here a good number of times now and overall, la bottega di via montegrappa is a gem and a place I will continue...
