Zenzero Bologna

Good menu, that changes every day. Fix prices very accessible. Friendly waitress

There is really delicious food) The only thing I didn't like is confusion: it's too crowded at lunch time (i don't know about evening). It's better to book a table before come here))

The first time we had dinner at Zenzero was about 6 years ago, just a few months after its opening. I was just a student with no real earnings and it was so unexpected to find a place with such great quality at a so cheap price. After that time I went to Zenzero every 4/5 months and it's always a wonderful experience. I also spent there my degree lunch so forgive me if this review is more about heart than stomach. Zenzero is an organic restaurant located next to Bologna Museo of Modern Art (MamBo). It’s quite small and always full so I suggest you to call before move there (if you don’t find a table you can move to the close Pizzeria Tonino, one of the best pizza of Bologna). The tables are really close to each other but you’ll still have the chance to talk to your partnet without too much noise. All the products you’ll eat are from organic agriculture and most of the couses are vegetarian or vegan, but you’ll also find some meat dishes. Please trust me: don’t be skeptical about vegetarian food, Zenzero is all but a “sad veggy restaurant”. For example start with the classic and light tempura, the best you can eat in Bologna even if you try all the Japanese restaurants, or the carasau tortino, always different based of the seasonal products available. Then go with the first courses, most of them are handmade pasta (sometimes spelt or buckwheat pasta) or amazing risotto with vegatebles and cheese sauce. Then go on with with the second course like tomino cheese, seitan escalope or the grilled tofu, but absolutely don’t miss their delicious roast potatoes! At the end try their desserts, the apple crumble is always a warm delight but also the chocolate and pistachio pie deserves a lot. The wines are local but I always take quinoa beer from Fair Trade Market. Even if your staying in Bologna is short Zenzero really deserves to be visited (at lunch there's also a cheaper daily menu, about 10€) and if you try it once, I believe that it won't be the last time.

Great food and lots of vegan/vegetarian options as well as meat and fish. I had handmade tortelli (filled pasta) with pumpkins, almonds and balsamic vinegar: delicious. As second course I had tomino with grilled vegetables, which was ok. Recommended.

This restaurant deserves to be spoken off at "in the world" level. It might not be The best food or service you get anywhere in the world, but you have to credit the chef and staff for one of the best in the world sense for experimenting with traditional tastes and their combination. Might not be the traditional taste of Bologna, but you should still make it tradition to stop by for a meal.

Ecological, bio food. Delicious, and creative. They charge their menu EVERY day. There are several vegetarian and vegan options. The owners are really sweet and attentive, the rest of the staff too. We had strong wind gusts while were eating outside and their young (10-11) son was trying to keep everything in place, while things were flying away. He was so sweet!

We were looking for a restaurant serving vegetarian food when we came across Zenzero. Unfortunately we hadn't booked a reservation. Even though the restaurant was completely full, the owner was so kind to place a table for us outside so we could eat there anyway. The food was incredibly delicious and we definitely recommend trying the Tenerina di cioccolato as a dessert. The waitress was very friendly and helped us to find a nice vino to drink with the meal. They have a many different vegetarian or even vegan dishes available and it's very nice for a relaxed evening.

We were incredibly lucky to experience Zenzero because it was fully booked, but we were able to sit at the bar since our party was 3 people. So make a reservation! Nadia gave us all the recommendations for Vegan and Vegetarian dishes, and went above and beyond to make a memorable dinner. I loved the zucchini noodles and hazlenut rice cream dessert.
