Bologna University Restaurant

Located at P.za Vittorio Puntoni, 1, 40126 Bologna BO, Italy, the Bologna University Restaurant serves as a convenient haven for the busy lives of students and staff at the University of Bologna. This cafeteria boasts a commendable reputation for offering affordable and satisfying meals that cater to a diverse array of palates, making it a staple for those navigating the academic atmosphere.

With a menu that emphasizes value, patrons can enjoy wholesome meals without breaking the bank. Customers often praise the food as “good and cheap,” with options that provide hearty portions, perfect for those long study sessions. The atmosphere is lively, buzzing with the energy of fellow students eagerly discussing their courses while savoring their meals, although it can get a bit crowded during peak hours. A recent visitor noted, “It is a nice place, clean but sometimes full of students.”

One unique aspect here is the inclusion of a complimentary bottle of water in the student menu. While this is appreciated by many, some customers, like Mio Chan, have found this to be somewhat wasteful in today’s eco-conscious environment, suggesting that alternatives like bread or yogurt would be a better fit for modern-day students with water bottles in hand. Such feedback indicates a dedicated effort toward sustainability can significantly enhance the experience.

Another review from Sipan Do mentions a slight disappointment regarding portion sizes, noting that some might find the offerings not quite enough to fully satisfy hunger without a need to purchase additional sides. Yet, it is important to highlight the overall efficiency and commitment to service, as echoed by Dilyara Shantayeva, who remarked on the staff’s kindness and ability to assist students, including those who might navigate the menu in a different language.

Despite mixed reviews on food quality and overall experience, this cafeteria stands out as a convenient choice for students seeking a quick meal that won't dim their budget. Faizan Afzal aptly describes it as “Good place to have lunch during your busy university days,” capturing the essence of what Bologna University Restaurant aims to provide.

In summary, the Bologna University Restaurant is a valuable asset to the university community, blending accessibility with affordability and a dash of local flavor. It's an experience worth trying for any student or staff member looking to fuel their academic journey!

The food Is good and cheap, the only problem Is that a bottle of water Is included in the student menu which Is Just wasted plastic since almost everyone has their own bottle this days and when i asked if i can have something else instead (piece of bread or yugurt or....) They refused which Is Just sad since UNIBO Is giving away free bottles to student to be more environment friendly but on the other hand they do this in the university restaurant.

I visited Unibo Food Restaurant for lunch on a weekday, and I was disappointed by the experience. The restaurant is located inside the University of Bologna campus, which is convenient for students and staff, but it is more expensive than other restaurants nearby. The food portion was also not enough to satisfy my hunger, and I had to order extra bread and salad. The only good thing about the restaurant was the pizza, which was freshly baked and had a nice crust and toppings. And yes! PIZZA is available every day, but the restaurant is closed on Sundays and Saturdays. This means that you have to plan ahead if you want to eat there, and you might not get what you want. I would not recommend Unibo Food Restaurant to anyone who is looking for a good value, tasty, and filling meal. There are better options in the area that offer more variety, quality, and service. But if you got university tickets for restaurants then enjoy it! Ahhhh and the best thing is that it has free water! Cold water and also sparkling water which was amazing!

Cheap and good value for money. Fast and reliable student canteen. Sometimes it’s very cold inside or there’s a weird smell coming from the kitchen, but other than that no complaints. Always kind and courteous workers ready to help students that don’t know Italian

Not expensive as other pizzerias and has some home food, which is appropriate for foreign students :) Quality is not best, but still good
