This dining experience was a pleasant surprise. The lobster ravioli was rich and satisfying, and every bite felt thoughtfully prepared. The chicken Marsala stood out as our favorite and was cooked perfectly. We nearly skipped dessert, but choosing to order it ended up being the perfect way to finish the meal. The menu shows real creativity, and this spot has definitely earned a return visit to try even more of their Italian dishes.

I think the word has gotten out about this special/authentic Italian restaurant. We were able to get seated right away though because we arrived early, luckily.
We enjoyed the most amazing dinner last night. We started out with glasses of wine and the delicious calamari. Normally I order their Carbonara for dinner, which is always amazing but I wanted to try something different and ordered the Maple Bourban Salmon. It comes with an incredible side of crispy bacon and Brussels sprouts. My husband ordered one of their special pasta dishes, Casalinga, which was incredible also. We then had the Raspberry Creme Brûlée which was perfect.
Great service and incredible food! Keep up the great job everyone and see you soon.

Cool small restaurant in downtown Rochester. Food was pretty good. The Salmon was over cooked but still tasty. The pizza had nice flavor but needed some crisp. I recommend this place for a smaller group. A large group might be a little difficult. Pleasant service.

Super small place just a FYI if you are bringing more than 4 people it will be a very long wait. Majority of our dishes were great. The service was a bit slow. Both with food and drinks. Felt more that our waiter had too many tables in the back to deal with.
Food was decent but I had one dish that I thought was terrible. The braised beef noodle dish. Super bland, and mushy. I tried to reach out to the owner Joe but didnt get much of a response on how to make this up to us.
Had multiple people in my party try this dish and no one wanted it after one bite. I dont mind paying for more expensive dishes but quality needs to be there and this was not it.
All of our other items were pretty good. Restaurant was packed and busy. Felt they could do better with the spacing of tables. Overall it was okay. But based on lack of the response of the owner Joe im on the fence of returning. At this point I had a better overall experience at De Marcos across the street.

Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. We ordered the carbonara, the Jeffery pizza, Caesar salad, bruschetta, and finished with the tiramisu, and every single dish was outstanding. The carbonara was rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced. The Jeffery pizza had incredible flavor with a great crust, and the Caesar salad was fresh and well dressed. The bruschetta was the perfect starter, bursting with flavor, and the tiramisu was the ideal ending, light, creamy, and not overly sweet. Very cute family business that makes the experience feel warm and welcoming. You can truly taste the quality and care put into the food. Highly recommend and will definitely be back.

We were there on perhaps their busiest night of the year. The place was packed!!!
Service was very good considering the large number of guests. No miscues in our orders, plenty of food (much of it was packaged to bring home).
Food was very good. Our table ordered the calamari appetizer and main courses of Tuscan chicken, mussels, lasagna, and cannolis.
The Italian old fashion was very good, very unique.
The restaurant is very cozy, a small but quaint bar, clean restaurant rooms, clean restaurant. Very attentive wait staff. Saw nothing but smiles on patrons leaving after their meals, including our group.

I’ve eaten at some of the best Italian restaurants from hidden gems in New York to Carbone’s in Vegas to a few highly rated places in South Florida.
I came here for my birthday and I wasn’t sure what to expect as I’ve never eaten in Rochester before. We were greeted by the staff opening the door for us. I dressed up however the restaurant doesn’t seem to have a dress code. Once you step inside, the atmosphere was a bit unsuspecting and the space is smaller/cozy.
We were taken care of immediately. And the staff was super friendly.
I asked for a custom order of spicy penne (my favorite from carbone is the spicy rig) and I ordered the traverse city chicken and I was pleasantly surprised. It’s easily a 10/10 dish. It will seriously blow your mind with how unique it is. The sauce has a savory umami, salty, and sweet (cherries) flavor profile and the chicken was cooked perfect. I’ve never had anything like it and can’t stop thinking about it.
Highly recommend this place with an open mind. Overall I would give this place a 4.5/5 stars. We ordered 3 entrees and 2 5 oz wine and the total was around $80 for 2 people.
We’ll be back!

What a quaint little restaurant. Nestled in the heart of downtown Rochester hills you’ll find Bologna Via Cucina. We celebrated my father’s birthday here and had a group of just under 20. We notified them ahead of time and they set us up in the back room. The party was a surprise and the staff were fully into it and so helpful. Even though we had a large party the waitstaff was so attentive. The fresh bread could have easily been my meal it was so delicious but alas my lasagna showed up and outshined the bread. Unfortunately (actually fortunately) the portion was so large I wasn’t able to finish. Although suddenly I found room for dessert. We had a taste off and although all were good, the cheesecake won out. The atmosphere is lively hip casual up front where the bar is and alitte more subdued in the rear for a more laid-back experience. Everything was wonderful all around but I feel I need to give one more shout out to the staff, I wish I remembered our waitresses name as she was top tier.
I happily recommend.

I truly believe this is one of the best spots in Rochester/Rochester Hills. Incredible food from appetizers to dessert, as well as a stunning atmosphere and an incredible staff that always has smiles on their face. The owner and his family are some of the best people I know. If you had to try one thing here, I would recommend the carbonara americano, but why try one thing when you could try everything! The family at bolognas makes this place very special and one of a kind. Do yourself a favor and see for yourself!
