Very much the result of one man's talent and vision, this small restaurant offers fish and seafood the way true seafood lovers want it. The chef-owner knows his mind -- and he knows his culinary skills; so I suggest letting him guide your experience, using what is freshest and most intriguing for that day. Le Mura has been "discovered," so... More

And I wish we could have stayed in Bologna longer just to have more meals at Le Mura. This is a wonderful restaurant, with a warm feeling, very busy on weekends (because it is great!) but not at all loud. The food - seafood - was fantastic. Preparations were interesting and always good (over our three dinners, we tried a... More

This was our second visit and we were not disappointed. We were shown a selection of fish, cooked various ways and as we were seven we were able to try three different fish - all excellent. The restaurant is on the expensive side but one must remember that whole fresh fish is expensive. The service was friendly and attentive...we would... More

An excellent meal in a lovely Sicilian restaurant just across the street from my hotel! I had two courses and both were perfectly balanced and flavorful.

For one starter, one fish and one pasta dish (= one primo and one secondo piatto), a bottle of wine and a bottle of water we paid 75€. The food was good, but not great. You can definitely get better food for less money. The service was friendly, but as a younger couple it seemed that we did not get... More

I went here with my partner for New Years Eve after reading about Le Mura being the best seafood restaurant in the city. Reservation wasn't a problem and the menu options were pretty varied. They are written on a blackboard which moves around at the tables while they explain what everything is. I must say everything we had was delicious.... More

Sicilian in Bologna? YES! the food is great, the staff, wine selection. Everything is fresh and tasty, I have eaten here twice and plan on returning. A small family run business, you can tell they care about doing it right. Time is taken to literally describe EVERY dish. Makes it hard to decide but all decisions are good. Closed monday... More

Who would have thought that one of the best Sicilian restaurants that my husband and I have been to would be located on a side street in historic Bologna. Immediately across the street from the Hotel Porto San Mamolo this unpretentious authentic Sicilian restaurant is owned and operated by a family from Sicily. The menu changes daily and is presented... More

A friendly family run trat. without any pretensions. There is NO meat option. The Sicilian owner explains the menu fully in English, so can you choose your fish raw, fried, baked, stewed or whatever. Fresh? I think that the Sea Bass flicked its tail at me! A comprehensive wine list is available but the owners recommendation was spot on. Fresh... More

This place was unbelievable. Since it was across from the hotel where I was staying it, it was perfect. The menu is presented to you on a chalkboard and there is only one so you will have to wait if another table is using it. There are no descriptions and it is in Italian only but the servers speak some... More
