Trattoria Battibecco in Metropolitan City of Bologna

"The food is fantastic from Antipasto to main course to dessert .. everything is good. Highly recommended if you are in Bologna."

"This was an outstanding fine dining experience. Local favorites executed with skill. A very friendly staff and a beautiful dining space. A must try while in Bologna!"

"Amazing food experience. It is a fine restaurant which means that they are a little posh about who they let in. They actually refused some some a table because they were not dressed properly. I will say “dress up nice and let yourself enjoy a great and tasty dinner”. It is definitely a food level that you do no experience in every restaurant. We were very pleased about the food. Are you a foodie going to Bologna you need to try it."

"Absolutely delicious and a break from many of the more traditional places. Modern room and fresh menu. I had the risotto with shrimp & yellow curry, which was great. The “fried” shrimp and calamari served in a cone were light, airy, and actually baked."

"Amazingggg pasta. The best we had in bologna. All the negative reviews about service should be ignored. It felt like a nice but not pretentious upscale restaurant. The grimgna pasta with sausage was the star. The pastas were excellent. The secondi is just alright, so I'd recommend doing just pasta"

"Comfort food on a high level. We had a wonderful evening at Battibecco. The food was really good (the antipasti could have been a little more spicy for my taste), the wine was great (recommended by the floor manager), the desert was a dream! So far, it's been the best dinner we've had in Bologna. (And we've had more expensive ones.)"

"Elegant Dining in the Heart of Bologna Tucked away in a narrow street in the city center, Trattoria Battibecco offered us a stylish and refined dining experience. The food was delicious, the wine selection well-curated, and every dish was beautifully executed. While the atmosphere leaned a bit formal, we still very much enjoyed our dinner. A great spot for a more upscale meal in Bologna—just be sure to book in advance!"

"I have traveled all over the world, dined at every type of restaurant from small to large, inexpensive to expensive, simple to complex, zero to 3 Michelin stars. I never imagined one of the best meals I would have in my life so far would come from a business trip to Bologna, Italy, but here I am. Trattoria Battibecco is a phenomenal restaurant and Chef Nico Costa is a master of his craft. A simple dressed salad studded with julienned root vegetables and a simple dressing got our evening off to a nice start. The fusilli with sautéed bacon and onion was absolutely delicious, the pasta cooked a perfect al dente. The beef filet rolled in puff pastry was simply incredible. The beef cooked a PERFECT medium rare, red in color and so tender you could cut it with slice of bread. This may be the most perfectly prepared piece of beef I’ve ever consumed. To finish, a cornicione fried shrimp and squid, lightly breaded to allow for the flavors of the seafood to shine. The only disappointing memory I will have of this restaurant is not being able to secure another reservation during my stay. Delizioso!"
