Rossopomodoro Bologna Mercato di Mezzo — Restaurant in Bologna

Worst Dining Experience Ever, Avoid at All Costs! If I could give this place zero stars, I would. My friends and I were excited to try this Italian restaurant, but it ended up being one of the worst dining experiences we've ever had.

First off, the server acted like we were an inconvenience from the moment we walked in. No greeting, no smile — just a rude "What do you want?" vibe. It took forever to get his attention to order, and when we finally did, he seemed annoyed we dared to ask questions about the menu.

When the food came (after an absurdly long wait), it was mediocre at best — bland, overcooked pasta and a sad excuse for a pizza. But the worst part? The bill was WAY higher than we expected. Turns out, the prices on their online menu were completely different from what they charged us. When we brought this up, the server just shrugged and said, "Prices change." No apology, no explanation.

To top it all off, he ignored us for most of the meal, only reappearing to drop the check like he couldn’t get rid of us fast enough. And that isn't even the worst part. my friend bought a batch of French fries and one of them was literally GREEN. I don't even understand how this can go unnoticed in the kitchen. truly unacceptable.

Do yourself a favor and skip this place. There are plenty of other Italian restaurants that actually care about their customers — this isn’t...

Visited this place through a special offer on the fork giving 20% off. We arrived at 18:30 which must be the time they open as there were others waiting outside, strange that there was no acknowledgement from the staff to those waiting, anyway we went in after waiting 5 minutes and found a seat. Had absolutely no idea what I was ordering and relied instead on the waitress to recommend as something. Mrs C ordered a bruscetta (predictably) and I got some fried cheese sticks, street food apparently, nice enough. Pizzas for main course, Mrs C got a mushroom pizza which was in some funny looking white sauce and I got a Parma ham and cheese pizza which was really nice apart from the four rocket plants lurking underneath the topping. Bill with a coke and water came to just under €30 once the 20% discount had been applied, I know we are visitors to Italy however everyone else in the restaurant was speaking English (even though they were all from other countries) and everyone was struggling with the menu so perhaps an English translation...

Avoid at all cost!!!

When we came in we have been seated and we had to wait about 20 minutes for anyone to come to us to take our order, which happened after escalation to the manager. It's worth to mention that maybe 2-3 tables on the first floor were taken and they already had their food, so we could't understand why is it was taking so long.

Another surprise was a cheeky( not mentioned anywhere) service price(which was around 20-25%!!!!) We refused to pay it, as we haven't received service at all - so the manager of the place claimed he doesn't understand english and offered 1 euro discount, which is hilarious. They don't care about customers. Total rip-off!!!

Food was okish, but old basil which had no taste at all was added to the pizza, which is an absolute shame.

This place is a...
