Dal Bolognese Roma

I didn’t get a chance to take more pictures because I ate like there was no tomorrow. The appetizers, main dishes, Bolognese, and tiramisu were all scandalously delicious. The staff is also wonderful and polite, with excellent manners. You feel comfortable and fancy in this environment—and you leave 3-4 kg heavier. I absolutely recommend it.

We made last minute reservation, and make sure you do have one. First to seat. Our server was attentive. Food was really good! As you know Rome’s Resturant only have 4-5 pastas in their menus & Bolognese is not a staple item on most menus, thus going here. It was one the best Bolognese dishes I had in Italy (and wanted to go back the 2nd night but couldn’t walk anymore!) The dish had a balance of spices, meat and sauce and the pasta was cooked to perfection . The breaded veal was good and we had an appetizer of fried sardines. The tiramisu was ok, I make much better. Highly recommend it and go for Bolognese or Lasagna! Forgot! Do order just a plain salad! The fee is minimal however just the lettuce and few strands of carrots in Italy with the olive oil and a bit of vinegar tastes Devine!

Family place. Yummy caprese. Yummy bolognese. Wish the portion was a little bigger for the cost. No frills dining but make sure you book way ahead. I was very lucky to be allowed to dine solo without a reservation

A well known authentic Italian Restaurant in Rome… home made pasta. Enjoyed all the dishes that were presented. Starting with fried Carli flower stuffed with mozzarella. A refreshing salad.. than Risotto with lobster And a combination of lasagna Green and bolognese pasta. Delicious food and excellent service. The negative issue was It took a while to get our dishes. Reservation is needed.

amazing authentic italian restaurant! I personally arrived later than my friends, and even though they were ready to start with the main dish, it wasnt allowed to eat before me finishing my starter (as i was late i ordered when they already were finished with the first dish). I really didn’t like that because i felt rushed eating my meal in order to have food for the others. Also ordering a started and a main dish is a must. it is not allowed to have only one of them.

Our concierge at Hotel Vilon booked the table and we were expecting a 5 star experience. Rude and disengaging staff, zero service (it felt like they were purposely ignoring us) and zero knowledge of wines! The food was good, but nothing extraordinary. The artichoke and ragu were very good. In the end it took 25 minutes and 4 requests for them to bring the bill to pay and leave!

Absolutely terrible experience at Dal Bolognese in Rome. The restaurant was completely empty, with numerous free tables, and we walked in hoping for a quick lunch. Despite the lack of customers, the waiter was extremely rude. He didn't even bother to look at us and curtly told us, "No reservation, no seat." When we mentioned that online it said the place wasn't busy and that we could just come over, they insisted all the tables were reserved. The blatant disregard for potential customers was astonishing. We left feeling very disappointed. Avoid this place if you value good service. (Picture for reference of all empty seats)

One of our favorites in Rome. Dal Bolognese is the place for special occasions in Rome. It’s frequented by celebrities The food is all high quality and wine list surprisingly has many great choices in the 25-40 Euro range. The meal in general is less expensive than a meal of equal quality in NYC. Food 9 Service 9 and value 9. UPDATE: May 2022 , Glad to report that things only get better at Dal Bolognese !! Hope you get there while they still have the Red Prawns Pasta !!

Very good food and very good service. The bolognese was the best I've ever had. Will come back.

Dal Bolognese lived up to its reputation! We visited twice and no thank you four days! While the restaurant is located on the Piazza del Popolo that is heavily visited by tourists, the food was outstanding! The best bolognese I've had! We also shared the asparagus. The second visit we had the pumpkin ravioli and the spinach & ricotta tortellini. Both were excellent pastas! A must visit! See you next time we're in Rome! Very attentive service in both visits! We sat outside and watched the world go by! Great 'Roman dining experience!'

I am a Bolognese afficianado-it's my go to pasta dish; recipe inherited from Mother/Grandmother from the Bologna region. No cream is added! The restuarant served it as 3 meat sauce; which was excellent. They are a bit arrogant or nonchalant, and I am sure this is due to the traffic which is mostly "tourista" on the Piazza del Popolo. I think wait the staff gets a bit hardened dealing with customers who don't speak the language and question the definition of every item on the menu. That aside, the atmosphere in the evenings on the Piazza and a good glass of wine make this an excellent location for dinner al fresco.

Now here's the thing, you have to like a good bolegnese sauce...if you don't, then you may not like the food here...but if you do, then this place is heaven. We had a party of 5 and ordered a bunch of stuff and that was all fine, but the tagliatelli bolgnese was superb, just excellent. However, the lasagna verde with the bolegnese sauce was unlike any other lasagna I have ever had (and I've had lotsa lasagne)...creamy, rich, beautifully seasoned...it's the lasagna they serve in heaven. Anyway, I liked it, and if I find myself back in Rome I will be back for more lasagna!

This was recommended by my Italian friend. Made reservation a week ahead. The place is a bit upscale and mostly local - so dressing nicely is recommended. We ordered the Parm ham, beef carpaccio, and buffalo cheese to start. Beef Bolognese, lobster spaghetti and veal chop for main. The ham was amazing but pretty much the same as the beef - so I wish the waiter would suggest something else when we asked for his recommendation. Beef Bolognese is amazing - definitely the best we had in the past. But my spaghetti was very undercooked, like hard inside. And veal chop was meh. So I'd say average food rating other than the Bolognese! We are coming back here again in two days to try their other dishes so hopefully the review will change!

If you are looking for a true Italian meal experience I highly recommend Dal bolognese. One of the better restaurants visited while in Rome. The Tagliatelle alla Bolognese was good, however nothing really made it stand out in comparison to other ones I tried. The Milanese is a must have, tender and full of flavor. Served with pure (mashed potatoes). Tiramisu had a different twist from most restaurants as it was topped with nuts and did not contain espresso. Pretty pricey but overall worth the quality of food. Make sure you reserve.

Arrogant. I called ten days ahead for reservation, was told brusquely to call again in five days. I called when they opened and was told they were booked. They aren't good enough to be that rude.

Four stars for the food, but is a pity the service is so lousy. View of the Piazza del Popolo is great if you can get a seat outside, but then you have deal with all the smokers. I am always torn / the food is good but the waitstaff are not service oriented and there is s 12.5% service charge automatically added to the bill.

I recommend going to Dal Bolognese if you can get a reservation outside, so definitely plan your visit with time. It's worth it! The terrace is well situated overlooking Piazza del Popolo and the people watching was great. The restaurant is elegant and has excellent service. The food was terrific as expected and prices were reasonable. It was so nice to eat in a place that the locals go. I chose the "Tagliolini" with Red Prawns and roasted Tomatoes which was incredible and we shared a beef tartare that blew me away. For dessert, go with the homemade tiramisu. This over a bottle of Pinot Grigio and a few shots of Limoncello was the end to a fabulous night in Rome.

We love this restaurant, excellent location and tremendous people watching. My BF had shredded cod and sea bass which were good but didn't reach the five. I had lobster spaghetti which was one of the best, but the reason for the four stars rather than five star is that the first time we had the meals in this restaurant couple years ago was just so amazing that you never caught up that amazing experience. Must visit when you are in Rome.

Don't waste your time! The service was horrible, and the food unimpressive. There are a lot of servers--all men--running around in white jackets, but we had to beg for them to do anything for us. Anywhere else we went, if I began to pour our own wine or water, someone descended upon us and took over--not here! After the first pour, we were left entirely alone. I think that they're too busy walking around trying to look fabulous and looking for fabulous people to wait on to care about anyone else. The food wasn't anything special either. The menu items have strange names, but they mostly turn out to be the usual Italian fare. I had a Milanese, which was pretty good, but I could have easily gotten better at any sidewalk cafe. My dining companions both got Shrimp Scampi with huge prawns but very little shrimp, and they had to work to get that out. The clientele was mostly American, but that may be because we ate before 9:00pm. I heard a lot of people complaining about how unimpressed they were with this "fabulous" restaurant for "fabulous" people. There's another sidewalk restaurant right next to it, closer to the Piazza, that looked less fabulous. I'd try it before going here again.

This restaurant has a reputation for hosting many celebrities, which is, I think, entirely due to its amazing location. Besides that point, I have to say we were positively surprised by this restaurant. The prices are not as high as one claims, despite being higher than most roman restaurants. There seems to be an attraction in front of the restaurant, with an apparently well-off man, dressed extravagantly, who pretends to be making million-dollar deals on the phone, while the waiters do their best to keep him outside the premices :o) Now, more seriously: the food was very good, with the salt crust fish, or the Milanese a must. The wine list is also absolutely exquisite. However, the caprese let us down a bit, being not as tender as one may expect... The very friendly and comical service made that night one to be remembered, and one more reason to come back here :o)

Truly the best food in Rome. Went there for dinner with my wife and we loved it. Great food and great services.

Was highly recommended but dosent live up to the hype. Waiters are unhelpful and have attitude and thier food isn't so good.

Had a great last night in Rome with dinner at Dal Bolognese. Often rated among the best restaurants in Rome, it was recommended by a friend and definitely lived up to its reputation. The ambiance is upscale and romantic with all the servers being extremely formal and professional. I had the tortellini which was FANTASTIC. Definitely the best tortellini I've ever had in my life. The menu is pricey- the most expensive meal we had in Italy but it was worth all of it because of the ambiance and the amazing food. Will definitely be visiting again on my next Roman visit.

It was the best Italian experience for us. The restaurant is very well located. Request a table outside if the weather is good and don't forget to reserve a table in advance. While booking, we asked for an outside table. But at arrival, they wanted to sit us inside. After insisting, they gave us a table outside and this made us very happy. The food and wine was very delicious. Strongly recommended!

In the land of amazing pasta we figured we had to check out a place named after our favorite dish. Place is slightly elegant but nothing over the top. Dishes are not much more expensive than other restaurants (maybe 5 euros max). We started off with a plate of prosciutto. Solidly good but not out of this world. We had the fettuccini bolognese and the lasagna bolognese. The lasagna was better. The dishes were tasty but again not life altering or particularly memorable. We also had the lamb which was savory and packed with flavor. We ended the meal with millefeuille which lacked in flavor. If this place was in New York it would be delicious but in Rome it's pretty standard. Wouldn't go out of my way to come back.

I only had the Bolognese and it was legendary, but the place is like twice as expensive as other restaurants in the area

Classically Italian and not touristy. Upscale. Very tasty. A bit on the pretentious style but a great spot and one of our favorites in Rome.

This restaurant is AMAZING! i got the bolognese And that was no doubt it was the best restraint I've Ever been to! I also tried the caprese salad... Ripest tomatoes ever ...freshest burrada. Lasagna AMAZING CHEESE=AMAZING!

Really disappointed. To expensive for the food you get. When you order a glass off wine, they let you choose between 2 wines and a they says nothing. When you get the check you have to pay 20 euros for one glass.

Extremely disapointing , very basic Food not so Well done. Peuple seem happy but we would not recommand this place

Great food, great location on Piazza del Popolo. Eating on the terrace is amazing and the artwork inside is special. First time to Rome and I would visit Bolognese again. Had the prosciutto that melted in your mouth. Fabuloso wine selection to compliment the authentic food.

One of my fav..the food as well as their amazing location facing piazza Del populous

Food was very good... It's definitely a place to eat, to be seen and enjoy an old school ambience. Staff was amazing. So kind to our son, we had a great time..

This is one of my favourite restaurants in Rome! Very classy in a casual way....outside if you want but we have always been inside and the dogs have always been welcome. Delicious food and wine and non-intrusive waiters!
