Vinoteca Bologna — Restaurant in Bologna

A culinary highlight in a legendary food destination - simply one of the best meals I've had in Europe! Of course there were many wines to choose from with plenty of options by the glass - I loved the Barbera de Piemonte red. I finished the night off with a fantastic gin and tonic with Sicilian gin.

With all the charcuterie boards to choose from, we went big with the "Along the Via Emilia" board. A perfect sampling of Emilian classics like Parma ham and coppa salami, 24-month aged Parmesan cheese, and of course mortadella. Bread was great but we got a few tigelle - toasted flatbread like an English muffin and served with cheese, butter, and lard. Totally just a perfect dining experience. We followed with some delicious, artistic bresaola roses with goat cheese and rocket with a little Modena balsamic vinegar.

Service was also fantastic - explanations of the diverse charcuterie board and the origins of every ingredient. Our server graciously cancelled our order for crostone after we realized what we ordered was too much for 2 people. When ordering my gin and tonic, I was shown the bottle of the gin used which I greatly appreciated.

Nothing but great things to say about this restaurant, which welcomed us at 7:30pm and became quietly lively by 9pm on a warm Friday. I wish I had more of an appetite so I could try some of the crostone or desserts.

Unforgettable! A must-try for foodies looking for an authentic...

The charcuterie was amazing. The main courses were excellent (try the MountainTagliatelle - it comes with a wild boar ragu. The service was fantastic. Prompt, efficient and helpful. They were a great help in choosing a wine to go with meal. The place is a little small so perhaps make a reservation to ensure a seat - we did. Side note - they were very accommodating to service in English, with my limited Italian vocabulary. The rum flight to cap is the evening was tremendous. Very knowledgeable about...

Cena con Amici Non solo vino ma anche birra e RUM tanti RUM. Abbiamo mangiato tre buonissime Tartar di mucca piemontese. Un primo molto saporito. Quando hai troppa scelta diventa difficile scegliere il vino giusto, per fortuna che il gestore ci ha saputo consigliare con pazienza. I piatti sono curati e ben descritti nel menù, inoltre ho apprezzato tanto il servizio pragmatico senza tanti fronzoli. Su nostra richiesta il gestore non ha lesinato spiegazioni su provenienze e caratteristiche dei Rum proposti. Finalmente ho capito cosa vuole dire "BEVI CONSAPEVOLMENTE" !! o era "RESPONSABILMENTE" ?? BHE COMUNQUE SIAMO STATI BENE. Grazie a tutto lo staff per l'accoglienza.

Dinner with friends Not only wine but also beer and RUM many RUMs. We ate three very good Piemontese cow tartars. we enjoy also a very tasty Pasta. When you have too much choice it becomes difficult to choose the right wine, luckily the manager has been able to advise us with patience. The dishes are well-finished and well described in the menu, I also really appreciated the pragmatic service without many frills. On our request, the manager did not skimp on explanations on the origins and characteristics of the proposed Rums. I finally understood what he means "DRINK CONSCIOUSLY" !! or was it "RESPONSIBLY" ?? ANY WAY WE ENJOY A LOT THE DINNER. Thanks to all the staff for...
