Overpriced, poor service. We waited 45 minutes for our meal only to be told they had run out of one of them and got one of the other orders wrong. A tiny bowl with a small handful (literally) of rocket leaves and 3 small scrapings of parmesan constituted a $10+ salad. Very disappointing, we won't be back.
Clean with pleasant staff. Generous servings of authentic Italian food. Standouts are always the veal Emiliana and veal soltinbocca. Healthy platters of mixed vegetables come with all meat mains.It's a little on the pricey side but that won't stop you coming back.
Food is good. Large serves ( I got 2 extra meals for work from my risotto alone) But the service was strangely absent. Not good at watching the tables to see everything ok
Authentic Italian food, we loved the way the spaghetti and pizza were made. Even the atmosphere and the way they calculated your bill were so Italian. Just loved it, will definitely come back for more.
Staff were friendly, restaurant very noisy and the food was not the greatest. Table of 12, meals were cold and others complained food was tasteless.
Lousy service, one pasta was cold with no offer of Parmesan cheese. The atmosphere was noisy and we were given the wrong bill. Another meal based on risotto was lousy. The gelato came in a plastic containers for $8.50! We have been regular customers over several years but this experience has left us cold.
We had a great time and the food was good (though my dish was a bit salty), but the time between ordering the food and receiving it was too long --- 45 minutes. Also, the portions of vegetables were not evenly divided in that one group was given zucchini and one group was not.
Still the most authentic and visitable Italian restaurant in the district. Generous servings. Careful you don't over-order! Staff attentive and pleasant. Mid-week, of course, is best for a quiet meal.
We were two couples. We were surprised that a restaurant that's been in business for over 35 years could produced average meals. Service was pretty good. We enjoyed the settling in the restaurant, but sorry the food was not as good as we expected.
hi the food was OK the grog was good and I would eat there again. The crowd was a little loud on the night,but that can not be helped.
Lovely little place - good neighbourhood find. Service and food was good. Ample parking out the back and on the street. Will be back !
The food was as always exceptional, unfortunately they were under staffed on our most recent visit and therefore the service was at best ordinary. Having been before this has not other times been the case, we are hoping its a one off and not a beginning of a new trend.
We have been to this restaurant many times and the food is always great, but on this occasion service was noticeably slow on a night when they weren't packed out.
Yet another fantastic meal. Group of 7 of us, requested a table at the back of restaurant in my booking and it was done for me. Service was amazing - including stories of the owner's Italian background and reasons for some of the menu items. Always great when you can bring your own drinks as well. Serving portions are always very generous - at least one of us went home with a doggy bag. My elderly father-in-law always wants to go to this restaurant because he loves fish and these guys know how to cook an excellent piece of fish. Definitely a 10 out of 10 for us.
Food is always sensational here and the staff are so friendly. Really special local joint and will be definitely rushing back here as soon as possible! Crab meat vodka pasta special was a serious hit
Very enjoyable dinner with 4 year old granddaughter. Great idea providing pencils to draw on table paper. Calamari is delicious & we will be ordering again on our next visit.
We chose Il Bolognese to celebrated a family birthday. The menu is extensive. So much to choose from as well as blackboard specials. There was something for everyone. Meals were good and we would come back.
Il Bolognese produces exceptional food and atmosphere, my partner and I have enjoyed dining there a number of times in the past year and declare it our favourite restaurant.
Have been before so a repeat customer. Food good as usual but service a little slow - it was a busy night. Sure I will be back in the near future. Love the fact it is BYO makes a huge difference!
Food was fantastic however we were seated right at the door which naturally opened and closed all night which was very cold. Staff said they would close the door and re-direct traffic through an alternate (very close) door however this didn't happen. Would still go back (and ask to be seated at a different table).
Wonderful garlic bread, penne carbonara, and delicious Bella's special. Love the thin and crispy base. The waitresses were so friendly and helpful but they overestimated how much we could eat! Main size pasta could have fed 2 of us easily.
Very friendly staff. The food was good, but a little pricey. Found it amusing that we had to ask for milk , sugar & a spoon for tea. Overall a nice restaurant but very noisy.
Fantastic food, welcoming and quiet atmosphere, and the waitress put a candle and a sparkler into my tiramisu and got the entire room to sing happy birthday when I accidentally let slip the reason we were there. 10/10 Would go again.
Great atmosphere, food and service! Il Bolognese is a perfect venue for a Friday or Saturday night. We've visited the restaurant about ten times in the last 4 months and every dish we've tried we've loved.
