Trattoria Bertozzi — Restaurant in Bologna

The food was okay, the service was a huge disappointment. After getting the first course, the waitresses went really every minute to the table to look if we finished eating (we ate at a normal pace). Once I finished my plate it was removed without any comment while my girlfriend still was eating. When she finished her plate they also removed it without asking or comment.

After getting the second dish the procedure with showing up at a uncomfortable pace to clear the table one waitress stopped directly at our table, looked at us with a face of total boredom, disinterest and lack of any respect for distance and people eating at your establishment.

This whole experience killed any kind of athmosphere and made an evening supposed to be relaxed uncomfortable and made us felt unwelcome and a necessity for the people working.

I myself work at a fine dining restaurant and I get that sometimes you are looking if you can move forward in the menu at a table, but this was far from okay. There were only five occupied tables in the whole restaurant and we were obviously not blocking a table for others waiting (even this shouldn’t have been our concern).

For this price you get at dozens places in Bologna comparable food. Do it,...

We got a side of spinach that we probably didn't need but it was nicely done. Ended with the lamb chop, which was well cooked and the potato it was served with was perfectly...

Read the reviews online and it delivered. Excellent food attentively and efficiently served by our super friendly waiter. We had potato souflé and tortellini in broth for starters both were excellent, simple, delicate and full of flavours. We then had grilled filet with potatoes and beef cooked in sangiovese with mashed potatoes which did not need a knife to cut as it was perfectly cooked. Really satisfying. Our excellent waiter recommended Pana cotta for desert, it's made with egg white rather than gelatine, again absolutely delicious. We had a glass of local red and local fizz to accompany our meal.
