Locanda 3 Virtu In Sasso marconi

04/03/2024: Mamima Ristorante was one of the hidden gems in Bologna known by locals but seldom frequented by tourists. Thanks to Trip Advisor, which we always look to for suggestions, we were honored to deserve the only English-speaking (young) waiter. A bottle of Riesling Oberhofer, a Tuscan hand-rolled pasta with tomato and garlic sauce, mixed salads, sides of potatoes, grilled vegetables and rounding off with gelato made for a perfect meal. Oh...did we mention our Second? Nothing could have detracted from the exceptional food...not the burglar alarm malfuncioning, the modest but bright, clean setting, completely packed restaurant, the not-so-healthy Suckling Pig Saddle, or our waiter trying to talk us out of ordering the last two servings of the pig in order to have it to offer to another customer. The entire dining experience was marvelous! Although we had arrived by taxi and without reservations, we suggest you plan ahead because we were very lucky to have gotten seated.

31/12/2023: Ristorante un po’ fuori dal centro di Bologna, con servizio rapido e cortese, ma cibo solo di qualità media. Selezione di salumi emiliani un po’ anonima, al pari dei primi, discreti, ma senza esaltazioni. Un po’ meglio la guancia sangiovese e le patate al forno. Come nota positiva, prezzi al di sotto della media ( € 80,50 per due persone, per un cena completa), ma, comunque, non ci tornerei. Pier Luigi Menga ( Napoli)
