Frommer's Review

Unique in Bologna, this bar and restaurant have been installed in the private chapel of the 1576 Palazzo Bentivoglio. In the university area, it is one of the most evocative venues in the city. As you enjoy your drink, you can admire the 16th-century frescoes. Young people patronize the place for its good food, generous drinks, recorded music, and the general ambience. Adjoining the restored chapel is a first-rate restaurant with a selection of savory regional dishes and some of the most inspired cakes in town. The menu is forever changing. Ask the waiter for the daily specials, often succulent pastas. Soups such as a garbanzo ragout are served daily. In addition to the restaurant and bar, there are also a library and exhibitions of modern art. On Saturday, live classical music is played.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
