We have always enjoyed our outings to Antica Bologna, just wish we didn’t live so far away or we would be there more often. The food is really delicious (always eat far too much) and the service excellent. Look forward to our next visit.

Lovely wsiting team. Enjoyed food had the mushroom soup, delicious. My friend had seafood linguine which she enjoyed too. Maybe nice to have a warm salad as a lunch option? I didn’t want a big meal lunchtime and I felt options were limited. Nice menu though
