• Everything seemed special. Not overdone, or showy. It just tasted amazing.
• Can't think of any.

“If you want to treat yourself to fine Bolognese cuisine in a charming atmosphere, get a taxi and drive the extra 10 minutes or so. Situated on one of the ancient Roman roads leading away from clatter of Downtown, Bitone was recommended to us by an older gentleman at the hotel who promised we wouldn't be disappointed -we weren't. The place is charming with lots of history behind it, Murano glass and a chef who greets you with a smile as inviting as the food. The minute we bit into complimentary Crostini with melted cheese we knew we were in for a treat. The wine list is excellent and the waiters are knowledgeable and friendly. I had Tortelloni, (a local specialty) cooked perfectly al dente and filled with squash that made it a rich sensual experience that begged to be eaten slowly. My friend had had another pasta with Carbonera sauce that was to die for. There was even a square bubbly white cracker among the breadsticks that tasted like nothing I've ever had before. Everything we ordered was delicious. The best meal of our trip to Milan/Bologna/Rome. If I get to Bologna again, I'm heading straight to Bitone.”
