The food will blow you away. The service will make you seek therapy. Its not bad service, really. Its efficient and available. There is just no joy there. They are not going to fawn over you and they may not even smile at you. But the food. Oh my, the food! The food may just make you forgive all. We tried to stay with the dishes that they point out on the menu as being local specialties. Do not miss the Tortellini alla Panna. This dish is so delicious you will swoon. Its very creamy and this type of thing can be really heavy but somehow here it was light as air and find myself daydreaming about it from time to time. I can also give a definite thumbs up to the Fior Di Zucca Fritti. The table next to us were well heeled and well travelled and they commented that the risotto was the best they had ever had. We didn't have it but everything we did have was fabulous. The décor is really nice without being stuffy. The waiters were efficient and I cant really fault the service if they could just have a little fun. If the staff weren't so unhappy this place would get 5 stars and everyone would want to eat here. We will return to Bologna and we will definitely go here again for the great food and hope the mourning is over.
