Vito San Luca - BOLOGNA

We visited this restaurant while waiting for the Sanctuary of the Madonna di San Luca to open. First impressions of the interior were good, quite a homely feel. However, the waiter serving us was less than enthusiatic, bordering on rude. This is compared to the great service at other restaurants in Bologna. While the tortellini was very good, €13 for a small plate is not acceptable. The roast beef with radish and cheese was also good, but they should probably advertise that it is raw. We did not order alcohol as the beer was laughably expensive. Not a great experience and certainly not representative of the high quality of eateries in Bologna.

Beef tartar and pasta! All excellent dishes! Good prices. A bit of weird mixed interior design and colours. But the food and atmosphere was 10 /10.

The place was full packed but with good efficient staff! The food were ok and prices are reasonable! We were a big group and the children has a little place to play around. We had a good time chatting until late afternoon and the room with colored umbrellas were really beautiful!! Good job!!!

We did the beautiful portico walk up to the sanctuary and then explored the sanctuary and grounds. When we were done we were hungry and relieved to stumble across this cafe right next door. It was so cute and artsy inside and they sell a wide selection of homemade baked goods by the front door. We ordered breakfast items and it was all delicious and healthy. Beautiful yogurt bowls, smoothies, avocado toast and excellent cappucinos. It ended up being our most enjoyable meal in Bologna and a nice break from the basic Italian breakfast (sweet pastries) and pizza and pasta heavy lunches and dinners.

After walking up to the Santuario di San Luca, we came upon the charming Vito San Luca. The inside restaurant is very charming and colorful, and the staff was super friendly.
