Ristorante Da Cesari

Really great food, huge portions, lovely staff. We shared a pasta dish and 2 mains between the 2 of us and that was plenty of food. Also great wine selection.

This was the best restaurant in Bologna we have been to. Excellent service in English. The food was amazing starting from wine to deserts! We had 2 starters and for main meal I have choose Parmigiana-it was magnificent. Definitely recommend this place for atmosphere, good food and friendly customer service!

This has been the best experience i have ever had in an Italian restaurant. Firstly, this place looks gorgeous, both the exterior and interior are typically Italian, it is the reason i choose to try out this restaurant after seeing pictures online. When arriving at the restaurant we were served by the extremely friendly and social head waiter and his staff, he explained to us that the restaurant is a family run business and he was third generation. His parents, who own the place, were sitting in the restaurant also enjoying diner which was lovely to see, as the family working together really added to the atmosphere. When explaining us about the dishes he clearly showed much passion for his work, his English was amazing and the English menus also helped tremendously with choosing dishes. We drank a wine that night that was made by the brother of the owner, bearing the same name as the restaurant. . The food was absolutely superb, we started with a plate of cold cuts that screamed absolute quality. All the meats were fresh and of high quality. After that I had the scalopina with roasted potatoes which in my eyes is the best Italian dish i ever had, which isnt an overstatement, if really was that good. We ended our diner with a dessert tasting which consisted of three delicious desserts. I can really say this place was amazing, it felt like it came straight out of an Italian movie. Everything from the exterior/interior, to the staff, the food and that it was owned by a wonderful Italian family created an atmosphere and experience that was absolutely spectacular. I would rate this place six stars if i could but i sadly can't. I personally want to thank everyone involved for this experience!

Wonderful! The best part was the waiter’s face when I asked him if the Panna Cotta had gelatin. He told me that theirs did not, they cooked it for 6 hours. Of course, I had to order it! When I had the first spoon I was in Panna Cotta’s heaven and learned that I did not know anything about Panna Cotta before. Go to this restaurant to try the non gelatin 6 hours Panna Cotta; you will not regret it! Everything else is also deliciously perfect… But the Panna Cotta is heaven!

This is a guarantee. Wonderful traditional Bolognese cuisine, exceptional service, fast, efficient and friendly. The food is delicious - we had the tagliatelle with truffle, as well as a pumpkin flan to start off with and a chocolate cake to finish - mmm, so good!! And the ambience is straight out of a film set - what a lovable Italian Trattoria-Ristorate looks like. Located very centrally, and a favourite of the law firms located close by, be sure to book. It’s always full! We’ll be back!

I could eat here every day. We ordered the tagliatelle, tortellini in brodo, ravioli de zucca, and aubergine rolls. Everything was perfect, and service super friendly.

Great service. The artichoke is very delicious. Creamy and flavorful. The pasta and the meatball are ok. Not bad but not impressive and harmonious as one other restaurant in Bologna.

You are looking for a rustic, traditional restaurant that serves regional home-made food: This is the place to be! The food is fantastic. The pictures below show tortellini in broth and tagliatelle ragù. The service is better than we had in any other restaurant in Italy. Personal, honest and from the heart. Such a complete experience! Ps: the restaurant is owned by 3rd generation family from town. It was fully booked on a Monday night in February. Must be doing an amazing job! ;-) So please make sure to make reservations before. They all speak fantastic English.
