What a treat! It’s not just fantastic because Julia Roberts ate here for her film Eat Pray Love! It’s really nice that’s why it was chosen for the film. Just be mindful the pizza is huge. I couldn’t finish mine

A lovely warm welcome as soon as we got in, the waiters nice a nice.
The pizza was special, so nice, so thin, so so so delicious!
good coffee ☕️
The decor is clean and cute 😍
The tiramisu is so good!
The only thing is say is i found odd is the staff ask you to rate them for a shot of lemoncielo, and for someone like me who travels the world and reviews as a job, it seems rude? but each to their own!
I recommend 1000%!

Title: Naples landed in Bologna – Julia Roberts was right! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
If you're looking for pizzas with 50 toppings and "gourmet" experiments, keep walking. You come here for the holy grail of simplicity.
Eating at L'Antica Pizzeria Da Michele in Bologna was a religious experience. I ordered the classic Margherita and it arrived as a true "ruota di carro" (cartwheel) – a pizza so huge it makes the plate underneath look like a coaster!
Why you must visit:
1. The Dough: Soft, thin, with those beautiful wood-fired charred spots. It literally melts in your mouth.
2. The Authenticity: Forget the knife and fork. If you want to eat like a pro, fold it "a portafoglio" (fold it in half, then in half again like a wallet). It’s the secret to keeping all that delicious sauce and oil inside for the perfect bite!
3. The Queue: Yes, there's usually a wait, but it's very well-organized. Don't be intimidated by the crowd outside; it moves fast, and it is absolutely worth every minute of waiting!

I am attaching a receipt as proof that I actually visited this restaurant. This is an honest review based on my personal experience.

Unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing. We visited as a family and ordered four pizzas and a bottle of water.

The service was poor from the beginning. The waiter seemed uninterested, unfriendly, and unprofessional, with very limited basic English, which made communication unnecessarily difficult. We felt there was little respect or attention given to customers.

Our order was also handled poorly. The pizzas arrived one at a time instead of together, and the children’s pizza was served last, meaning everyone else had already started eating. At one point, a pizza that we had not ordered was brought to our table. When we explained that it wasn’t ours, the staff insisted that it was our order before eventually realizing the mistake.

We also had to remind the staff to bring us glasses for the water.

One thing that particularly concerned me was hygiene. I noticed staff wearing gloves while finishing pizzas with toppings such as Parmesan and anchovies, which is good in principle. However, I also observed them using their mobile phones and shaking hands with each other while wearing the same gloves, then continuing to handle food without changing them. This defeats the purpose of wearing gloves and raises concerns about food hygiene.

The manager did try to improve the situation by offering us a shot of limoncello. While I appreciate the gesture, it did not address the underlying issues with the service and overall experience.

Sadly, despite the pizzas themselves being acceptable, the poor service, disorganized order handling, and hygiene concerns meant we left disappointed. I hope this feedback is taken constructively so future customers have a better experience.

Positive thing: Pizzaolo was frindly to my kids as they were observing pizza making process.

I would rate it a 4.5. Nice place, good food. This was a pizzeria we had wanted to visit in Naples but didn’t get a chance. We finally got to try them in Bologna. Had the Margerita. The sauce was amazing, the mozzarella had a slight smokiness to it. Was ‘t crazy about the crust (but that’s just personal preference in Neapolitan pizzas). Friendly service. Would recommend.
