You cannot eat worse in Italy...We (my mother, my brother and me) went to Bologna last week and had lunch / dinner in a couple of good restaurants. On our last evening we wanted to eat extraordinarily good and so we decided to follow your recommendations and go to Donatello. Do not make this mistake! We paid 66 € for pasta and one piece of meat. The pasta (tortellini con ...2 of 2 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulSHOW FULL REVIEW

Its really that great? Not reallyIt sucked so bad. I may sound like im over reacting but i aint. This place tasted like baby food and the service wasnt that super.

My favorite restaurant in BolognaI lived for 16 years in Bologna and Ristorante Donatello is, in my opinion, the best restaurant in a city of fabulous restaurants. Starting with the "antipasto" of cubed mortadella right up to the desert and grappa, the food is fabulous, the ambiance beautiful, and the owners and wait staff welcoming.

Home away from homeI used to regularly travel to Bologna on business, and Ristorante Donatello was my home away from home. If you walked by, and looked in, you might just walk on. It looks like any other mid-sized eatery, but the food and service distinguish it. Don't miss the risotto with porcini, or their outstanding pasta bolognese.
A wonderful, unassuming place for a meal and conversation.1 of 2 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulOVERALLServiceFoodAmbienceValue -
#1 experience of my another tour of Italy (Tuscany included)Exclusive welcoming atmosphere, plesure for taste buds. Excellent choice of the food matching wine (Lumbrusco in our case). Uncomparable to any other Italian cousine we've tried in years.
Will definitely go back and recommend to friends.0 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulOVERALLServiceFoodAmbienceValue -

The best restaurant in BolognaI took a college group of 20 to Donatello; I lived in Bologna for 13 years and I knew how great it was. The students are still talking about the food, the great service and the wonderful time they had. In fact, we'll be returning next year to Bologna so that we can visit the restaurant again!You have found this review helpful.5 of 6 Yahoo!

Going back for a weekend just to eat here!If you are in Bologna, do not make the mistake of missing out a visit here. The food is traditional Italian, the service handled by people who love food and want you to enjoy the experience.
The food is sensibly priced allowing you to have the full 3 course Italian experience. (Antipasto, pasta and meat or fish) without feeling bloated.
Vegetarians are also catered for without being made to feel an inconvenience.
