Osteria Del Podesta'

Lovely meal here, the GF lasagna came with a few little GF breads, which didn’t look great, but tasted lovely. Only issue was there was no GF beer option, which caught me by surprise, but the food was very, very tasty. Table next to us had ‘normal’ lasagna and the GF one looked the same and was same size - not always the case. All the while accompanied by a fantastic Bruce Springsteen soundtrack. Excellent experience. The guys working there seemed to be loving it all too.

I'll start with the food didn't make me sick which is good, but there were very limited options to begin with and two were scratched off the menu. I got the tortellini in a cheese sauce. It was very bland. The service was also terrible as our server sat at another table drinking wine while waiting on us. I wouldn't go back.

Gluten free Lasagna was dire, burnt and crunchy.

The non-gluten free food looked fine but nothing special.

My first gf Lasagne at a restaurant and it was great, if on the small size. They have a small dedicated gluten free menu. They also brought a couple small pieces of gf bread, complementary to the meal.

A few options for traditional bolognese food. I had balanzoni pasta and it was SO good. Can only recommend trying this place. You get a little bit of bread on the side. The bread was nothing special, but still nice to get it.

Staff told me all the gluten free options they had (they were also written on a chalkboard next to the door) and I ate tortelloni with meat inside. It was delicious and they also offered very tasty gluten free bread. In addition, the waiter brought me parmesan in a seperate small bag to avoid the cross contamination.

The staff was very friendly and spoke English very well.

The food was okay. The lasagne seemed reheated and too crispy on the edges. Not impressed . Found fresh made gf pasta nearby.

They have a limited gf pasta selection. I had the mushroom tagliatelle, it tasted ok but was very clearly reheated. Seems to be a theme with some gf meals in Bologna - they are made offsite and reheated to avoid cc. I appreciate the safety, but they could be more transparent about this. Outdoor seating was really cramped. Only ended up here because we couldn’t get a reservation anywhere, so it worked in a pinch, but do yourself a favor and get a reservation elsewhere.
