Osteria De’ Poeti — Restaurant in Bologna

Good and not so good. On the plus side, we arrived at 8pm on a Sunday evening and were seated without a reservation. Service was perfunctory, neither friendly nor unfriendly. First course (meatballs and lasagne) was delicious. 5 stars so far for food, 3 for service. Then things went downhill. We waited well over 30 minutes for the second course, even though the restaurant was far from busy. The food arrived at our table barely lukewarm. It was tasty enough and we were quite hungry by now, so we ate it, but it had definitely been sitting out for some time, and we couldn't have complained if we wanted to because no staff came near us before or after delivering the food.

Mille grazie to them, for an excellent dinner serving! A bit hidden, but yes, a must-go-and-eat-there place. The quality of dishes is way above the average rushed tourist dish that sadly it can be found in way too many other restaurants. Grazie @ Osteria De' Poeti, for a...

Had dinner here after having appetizers at another restaurant. I and my company were not as hungry as anticipated so we only had a main course each. I had pasta bolognese and my company had tortellini in broth.

My food was nothing special while my company enjoyed theirs but found it slightly disappointing compared to another place we visited the other day.

After receiving the check we waited for at least 15 minutes for our waiter to come collect our payment. She did not show and we ended up going to the cashier. Management was very unhappy about how our waiter treated us which was a small consolation.

Restaurant is very romantic and rustic and I'm sure it would have left a much better impression had the appetite been bigger and the waiter a bit...
