In the center of Bologna, precisely in via Vitale, the main artery of the San Vitale district, you will find a restaurant that the Bolognese have loved since the first day: the Taverna di Roberto. Roberto, owner of the restaurant, wanted to give his restaurant an elegant and refined imprint, which also communicated fidelity to traditions in the furnishings. The menu features traditional and imaginative recipes, with local products that are mixed together to find a new combination every day.

    Trattoria tipica bolognese nel cuore del centro, a pochi passi dalle torri. Cucina della tradizione. Mi sono tolto la voglia di tortellini in brodo di cappone. Buonissimi

    Great spot…seating is a little tight (crowded), but it’s their thing…everyone seems to work with it. Great food.

    Ho mangiato un buon piatto di tagliatelle al ragù con un buon calice (abbondante) di san giovese che mi hanno molto soddisfatto. Il personale è anche stato molto gentile nel trovare un tavolo all'interno invece che all'esterno. Io consiglio questo locale.

    Food was authentic and delicious! We were seated outside and the surroundings was a construction site. Inside the restaurant was very nice! Overall a very good experience- I would like to come back! A hidden gem!

    I really enjoyed my meal and the welcoming manager; however, wouldn't recommend for solo diners. The manager was super kind and spoke English. The menu had lots of amazing traditional dishes. I enjoyed the tagliatelle with ragu and the cheese plate. However, I wouldn't recommend for solo travelers. I've been traveling and dining solo for over 4 years. It's something I genuinely enjoy - a moment to pause and just enjoy good food after a long day exploring. However, this is one of the places where I felt least comfortable dining solo. I was ready to enjoy my delicious food in peace; however, the waiter seemed really uncomfortable with the fact that I was dining alone. There were repeated questions about who was joining me even though I specifically made an Open Table reservation for one, and the infamous 'pity look.' Best to keep this restaurant for a dinner with friends or partner.

    After checking many online references to find a restaurant that was 1. Open on Christmas and 2. Would take a reservation for a party of 8, I landed on this place, made an online reservation and felt relieved that my family would have Christmas lunch together. We walked past in the morning so we’d know where we were going then arrived at the time of our reservation. They were closed. I called. No answer. We were left to wander the streets in search of a restaurant that would take 8 of us. Ultimately we had to divide up and not eat together on Christmas. I received a confirmation of my reservation from Open Table and many reminders. I don’t know where communication broke down: Taverna di Roberto or Open Table? This is a significant F-up. When traveling at Christmas, dinner is an important focal point. We were disappointed to say the least.

    The manager had the table set up in a great location for our group’s celebration. He greeted us promptly as we each came in with sparking water and Prosecco. The restaurant worked with those in the group with allergies and delivered excellent dinners for each of us. The waiter spoke English well and was quite attentive. The atmosphere and wine choices were also outstanding.

    Wonderful food. And wonderful ambience. Only "suggestion" for Roberto is that he needs help!! It was clear at multiple points that the experience of dining there is being sacrificed by not having enough staff to help... - in first approaching Roberto, his demeanor was not the friendliest...but now we know it is because he was already stressed before even the restaurant filled up...as the night went on, he actually became quite a friendly host - took a while at times to order something (even as simple as water) because Roberto and the other waiter were always running around...not able to give attention to the tables. had to ask for the wine 3 times... they forgot my main course (which came and I ate after everyone else finished) - people waiting in line for 1+ hours to sit... which took that long because people at the table were not getting served efficiently. Yes, i would definitely recommend this place...But hoping he gets more staff to help. It would be a shame to see customers stay away simple because of this one thing.
