Parlor — Restaurant in Bologna

We had a wonderful lunch and a great dining experience. The foie gras and the scallops were done perfectly. My tortellini soup had a brodo that was so full of flavor I asked for another ladle full. My husband’s risotto was creamy, al dente, the toasted almonds added a bonus taste. The spaghettini with oysters and red turnip abstract (beet) was a combination of flavors that melded together well.

The wait staff were friendly and even explained that the risotto would take 20-25 minutes to prepare. After hearing that timing, we knew that we came to the right restaurant as you cannot do a proper risotto in a shorter period of time.

Memorable dining experience.

Overrated on google I think but maybe others will have a...

Booked a table here after reading such positive reviews but unfortunately it wasn't up to standard. On arrival our table wasn't ready for us yet and they fitted us in around the busy entranceway. Our drinks took a long time to arrive despite us being in clear view to the servers. I ordered the famous 'tagliatelle ragu' and it was bone dry. It's likely that they had a big sauce pot on the go but all moisture had evaporated. I couldn't finish the pasta :( My partner had a black risotto which he enjoyed and one of the servers was pleasant to us, but based on this experience we...
