Amole - Osteria Multiculturale

This restaurant is a hidden gem near the city centre of Bologna. The food is really delicious and there is a lot of choice, including a few vegetarian options. The owner and staff are incredibly friendly and the restaurant’s welcoming atmosphere makes you want to come back! Highly recommended if you want enjoy good Chinese cuisine!

I am so angry. This is the worst Chinese food I've had. Ever. I wasn't expecting the quality of the best Sichuan restaurants I've been to in Shanghai, Melbourne, New York and London, but I was expecting fresh... what I was provided with was a liberal use of microwaves for rice (!!!) and from frozen dumplings. I saw the chef dump a whole packet of ball like things into the deep fryer from a packet that is sold in common Chinese supermarkets. Also, I saw the buns they use for murger being pulled out of a large freezer bag. This is a disgrace. This is not a serious restaurant that wants to show Bologna what Sichuan food is - one of the greatest cuisines in the world. Once the front of house dude tried to tell me that the dumplings are "made fresh then frozen", I walked out. It was like a justification from Gordon Ramsay's kitchen nightmares. Not cooking dumplings fresh in the quantities that the restaurant was selling is unforgivable. Treating tortellini like this would be unacceptable, why is treating Sichuan food like this any different? The lack of respect this restaurant gives to Sichuan food, which I regard as the greatest in the world, makes me just so, so angry.

I was taken to this place by a friend. Otherwise I would never give a Chinese restaurant a try when I am in Italy. In general Chinese cuisine doesn’t interest me however Amole changed my overall opinion about Chinese food. All dishes were excellent. Other than the ravioli everything else we ordered was a genuine Chinese dish. Ravioli was one of the best I have ever eaten. Green noodles with pistachio, spicy eggplant dish, then duck. Everything was excellent. Service also, patient people with good knowledge of their food. Looking forward to coming back.

When you are feeling little rough with all the pasta, this is a great fix. Real local gem!

A true taste of China! The food is authentic. We have tried close to 10 different plates. No need to say that we were full and had a take away. All dishes that we tested were good. If you have hard time with pepper better avoiding dishes rated 3 pepper. At least do not eat the red parts 😂. Some plates are a bit too salty for my taste but that happens with Chinese food. The white wine was a good match. One of my best Chinese food experience in Europe so far (with Marseille and Grenoble in France). Make a reservation close to one week ahead as the place is famous in Bologna.
