Imola Restaurants

chianina bistecca is worth every penny though it was too much for my wife and myself :) we ordered the set for two and it was a mistake! LOL the platter was so good that it filled half our stomach! overall the ambience is good and wait staff are exceptional!

Best meal we had in Bologna. Great space, service, food, value.

This is a gem. For sure there are plenty of great restaurants in Bologna but La Fatica proved well worth seeking out. It’s located on a quiet back street and has a charming vibe. The food was excellent. I had Tagliatelle with mushrooms and then Contrafiletto di Vitello. The pasta was perfectly cooked and the mushrooms as good as they can be. The steak was grilled just right and came with oil and balsamico on a bed of ruccola. Yummy. The wine list had plenty of good options in the 25-30 Euro price range, I opted for a nice Refosco. Finally a note about the service. I think it was what set the place apart. Quick, attentive, professional and…should I call it personal? The best places in Italy can make you feel more like a guest than a customer. This is one of them.

Right from the moment we entered and the owner realized we booked on OT, we were treated very well. From the window table to our great server Victoria, who even went outside to take our picture through the glass. Great experience, highly recommended.
