👍👍 Once you've mastered the touch screen system, it's very easy to order. We loved that for 50c you get unlimited sparkling or still water without a plastic bottle. The kids loved watching the pasta being made in the window. Oh, and the pasta/coffee/beer was delicious, and the indoor and outdoor seatin...

    Once you've mastered the touch screen system, it's very easy to order. We loved that for 50c you get unlimited sparkling or still water without a plastic bottle. The kids loved watching the pasta being made in the window. Oh, and the pasta/coffee/beer was delicious, and the indoor and outdoor seating areas were all appealing, though the first floor roof terrace is a hidden gem. Love the view of the two towers as well. Absolutely recommended

    The food was surprisingly good considering the fast food set up it has. The pasta tasted fresh and the meat the so soft. It isn’t an authentic Italian experience but it’s convenient and tasty. The portion is a little small

    This was my third visit to this incredible place in Bologna, and it continues to impress. Its grand space perfectly complements its prime location. It's a gem in the heart of the city that consistently delivers a great experience. Many seats available, WC, and also balcony. I look forward to my next visit!

    Very central, good food, good atmosphere and staff. Terrace was very dark though, and all those open umbrellas obstructed a bit the otherwise very mice view. I didn't like too much the self service ordering system, I prefer a more traditional approach to customers

    Recommend this place for quick tasty pasta to eat. They do sit-in and takeaway. We sat in and had a pasta combo meal and ordered on a touchscreen. Bolognese Pasta was good, however the mushroom wasn't too good. However the seating areas are modern and open, like a fast food place. Would go again

    Their tortellini with cream sauce and cheese tastes amazing. It seemed at first that it is a small portion but it is fulfilling when you start to eat half of it. Fresh and delicious ingredients. Order is done through a touch screen machine where you can customize your meal at your convenience. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended specially for the open air area overlooking the 2 famous towers of Bologna old city.

    ‘Fast food’ style pasta. Place your order on a screen & wait to collect. The tortellini was tasty but quite expensive for what you get compared to other restaurants. It’s a good place for a small quick bite to eat.

    Well priced, delicious & well located. The restaurant has serf-service kiosks throughout. There's a 2nd floor balcony with available seating & an amazing view of the city. If you are in central Bologna & are looking for a quick & tasty meal I highly recommend this location.

    Delightful cafe/breakfast bar with a terrace that overlooks the two towers. You order your food from screens and then pick it up and bring it to a table. Friendly helpful staff. Food was great. You can watch them make pasta in the window which is fun.

    ‘Fast food’ style pasta. Place your order on a screen and wait to collect it. The tortellini in brodo was very tasty but the portions are very small and the price seems ok but if you compare what you get (size of the portion) x price I think it’s quite expensive compared to other restaurants. But overall it’s a good place for a small quick bite to eat. And they also serve free tap water (still or sparkling) which is quite good.

    Enjoyed the croissant with pistachio crème quite a lot. Comfortably arranged system for no fuss ordering. Not the best coffee I’ve had in Italy. And the atmosphere is not very cosy.

    A great hotel located right in the heart of Trømso. If you can get a room here, you won't be disappointed! An excellent tour company located in the Hotel Lobby. Please look up Best Arctic Tours... They were amazing!

  • 1/5 IBZ C. 4 months ago on Google
    The pasta is good, I didn't like the meat sauce😔 without salt and you couldn't feel the spices, I bought an extra cheese, the portion is small, everything cost 8.50 euros, it should cost half, I don't see the price relative, but perhaps the only good thing is its terrace that overlooks the towers, there is a free water dispenser on the first floor. I recommend going to another restaurant to eat, there you could go have a coffee on the terrace 😉

  • 5/5 Andrei C. 6 months ago on Google
    Superb place. The croissants with cream are brilliant , best which I have ever tried. The coffee also tastes, not burned in as at some places. Yeah and the location where you can view 2 towers from the terrace. It's a good place to sit and enjoy one of the Italian cocktails too, while unbelievably low prices , but very good quality. I could talk long about this place, but it's worth visiting. p.s. although it looks like marketing text, but it's not. I wish to have such a place in my city 🥲

    I've visited multiple times and have always had a pleasant experience. As a student, the first floor is a great place to work, and if you're socializing with friends or just want to relax the terrace has one of the most beautiful views of due torri. They offer complementary water (naturale and frizzante), and their bathroom is opened using a code given on the receipt. Their cappuccino is pricier (2 EUR), but the foam is very creamy and delicious. I can't wait to come back again when I visit bologna!

    Great place for a quick lunch and drinks. Interesting set up, convenient, you can see them make fresh past :-) We had drinks and snacks.

  • 4/5 Chemes A. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a good caffetteria/bar for many aspects: - Near Due Torri - The service is fast and good - The atmosphere is very nice - It offers a decently large range of drinks and food - It offers a very good view from its firat floor balcony - You can sit inside in the groud floor, firsr floor and also outside. - It has long tables which is perfect for a family of celebration moment The drawbacks are: - The balcony is always full, specially in sunny days. - It's located in a turistic place so you expect it always crowded, specially during weekends.

    Honestly, this is one of these places that you think you’d never find and you can only see it in social media but never in reality. Amazing location, service, the food was extraordinary. This is the place to be whenever you are in Bologna.

  • 5/5 Buddhini S. 8 months ago on Google
    Delicious pasta, made fresh on the day and cooked to order. The restaurant is self service so you need to order at the digital screen, pick up a buzzer and wait to be called to collect your food from the counter. There is plenty of seating indoors and outdoors and it's kept very clean and tidy. It can get busy during peak hours but because turnover is so quick the wait is not long. Highly recommended.

  • 4/5 rodrigomfran 11 months ago on Google
    This place offers a splendid view of the two towers of Bologna from their balcony tables. Their pastries, while visually appealing, may not offer an extraordinary taste experience. However, they are still quite enjoyable.

  • 2/5 Qazaleh F. 1 year ago on Google
    The location is amazing! The food is expensive and is not really bolognese. The toilet was terrible and dirty! I suggest this place just for a coffee! A very touristic destination because of Due Torri view!

  • 5/5 Daniela M. 2 years ago on Google
    I bought here tortelloni to bring back to Milan by fast train and they survived the trip! We had a great family dinner with it to celebrate. Great quality they are a piece of art!

  • 5/5 Yu P. 1 year ago on Google
    Good variety of Italian food. The green bolognese pasta tastes gorgeous. The restaurant has several storeys and offers spacious ,comfortable seating. Ideal place to drop by and rest after roaming around.

  • 4/5 Mary Anne T. 1 year ago on Google
    I really like the concept of this restaurant. Environmentally conscious, modern, bright, with nice and comfy seating areas, but the pasta was lack-luster. We liked the dessert but we got the tortellini in cream, in Bolognese and in broth and they were not hot and their flavor was only meh. We did like the restaurant overall but the food was not the best part.

  • 5/5 saki s. 2 years ago on Google
    I come here sometimes for a coffee and dolce and to take a break from walking around the Bologna City Centre. It is perfectly located right next to the two towers of Bologna. There is an outside seating area to sit and view the hustle of the street below or to look up at the two towers. Inside is usually full of students working in groups on their laptops or just hanging out to eat. There are plugs conveniently located behind the seating. You can use the free wifi with your computer until dinner time when they ask you to clear the table.

  • 5/5 AperolSpritz J. 1 year ago on Google
    Customers order food on a touch screen panel just like those fast food chains. There are two sections: cafe and pasta. I ordered an espresso for 1.5€. Three types of water on tap are offered for free: room temp still, cool sparkling, cool still. There is a terrace looking out to the twin towers.

  • 4/5 Max M. 1 year ago on Google
    Pleasant design and self serve ordering machines for a pleasant no stress experience. Free water refills with sparkling water on tap. Pasta was good, tortellini a tad undercooked and hard on the thicker part. Overall very good experience. Staff on table service should be a tad less uptight.

  • 5/5 Tripsntricks C. 1 year ago on Google
    Located on the left of The Two towers you can actually see how the pasta is made. You have a terrace in front of it or at the first floor. Option of menus- which I recommend. Delicious pastas. Definetelly a place to try.

  • 5/5 Theo B. 2 years ago on Google
    What a great and convenient place to sip a caffe in the heart of Bologna, enjoying the awesome presence of 2 Towers. Should I be. A local I’d define ltd indulge in the fresh pasta you can buy to cook at home or even learn how to make great pasta recipes.

  • 3/5 Steve T. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a self service osta place. Be wary that they do run out of things so plan accordingly. We went here on a food tour which was a little strange because it is a chain but the food was decent. It’s location is right next to the towers so it is in a nice part of town but like I said it is a chain and in bologna the food capital of Italy I don’t know if you should go here. I probably would return.

  • 4/5 Jamie 2 years ago on Google
    Tortellini was quite undercooked (more so than Al-dente!), sauce was still nice, liked the concept, but I think on the expensive & small portions side. €8 for like 9 individual Tortellinos 😕 not a fan of the single use paper pots. Great location.
