Ristorante Re Enzo — Restaurant in Bologna

⭐ A True Taste of Italy – Warm, Authentic, and Delicious

This Italian restaurant was one of the highlights of our trip. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcome. The ambiance strikes the perfect balance between cozy and elegant, with just the right amount of charm.

The food? Outstanding. Every dish we tried was prepared with care and full of authentic flavor. The pasta was clearly homemade—perfectly cooked and beautifully sauced. The starters were fresh and flavorful, and the desserts were the kind that make you slow down and savor every bite.

Service was warm, attentive, and unpretentious. The staff knew the menu well and gave excellent recommendations, including a fantastic wine pairing that really elevated the meal.

This isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an experience. You feel the pride in every plate and the joy in every detail. Whether you’re here for a special night out or just want to enjoy good Italian food done right, this is the place.

We’d return in...

After doing a road trip through Italy for two weeks and heading to many eateries and restaurants all over both coasts, this one provided a very extensive choice compared to any other. Prices are fair but portions are quite small yet it was enough for us in that hotness (36 degrees).

As for the food quality, it was simply the best. We took a lasagna, some ravioli and tortellini Bolognese, everything was good and pasta is handmade (as anything else).

The waiter was very nice, he spoke in English which is not something you see very often in Italy (excepted maybe in Roma). He gave us suggestions and explained dishes when we didn't know what they were. The only remark that I have is that the service was a bit rushy, not enough time to look through all the options but I'm guessing this was due to the mid day closing time...

Tried to have a drink last night but told no, go to a bar! Left. Despite better judgement went back tonight for dinner. Food was okay, nothing special. Ridiculously large plates giving the impression that there was more food. Service was spasmodic at best. After the meal everyone that was European was given a complimentary lemon cello. Not us Australians. Waiters disappeared to have their meal leaving diners waiting for the bill. Overall experience not good, lacking service, attention to details ie had to ask for side plates and oil and vinegar for the bread, something that was given to European customers automatically. A tourist destination should cater for ALL tourists not just the European ones. A FAIL big time. Seasoned Traveller...
