Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Visited last night. The food and wine were good. Our waiter was excellent and is the reason why it gets a 4 rating and not a 3. The main reason being that the front of house was rude and not very welcoming.

Had the best ragu/bolognese I've ever had here! Great gluten free options and the staff were very clued up on gluten. Dessert was also really nice too!

Lovely lovely place! Quirky furniture in a library, with delicious food - it doesn't get much better than that for me. Staff is so friendly and whatever you do, DO NOT miss the lemon sorbet. It's the best I've had in 55 years!

Be careful if you are tourists. They charge your bill (You will pay more than the menu). The food is acceptable.

We came for lunch because we were on the hunt for a vegetarian lasagna for my veggie friend. It did not disappoint (I had the ragu, which was still amazingly delicious even after having many ragu dishes on my trip). The decor is so cosy...and pleasant. The staff were very welcoming, friendly and helpful (thank you again to our server Vincenzo!) Food was delicious, reasonably priced and an all around pleasant environment to have a nice meal. Can't wait to return! :)More

Went here at the recommendation of our concierge at the hotel. The place looks absolutely beautiful. I had the bread with 5 vegan sauces( tapenade, artichoke, asparagus, chilli peppers and radichio) andy boyfriend had the lasagna. We both loved our dishes. His lasagne didn't look...great presentation wise but the taste was amazing, and that's all that matters. 50 euros with a good bottle of wine. Definitely recommend!More

It was my last evening in Bologna and I wanted authentic tortellini. Va Mo Lá was the perfect spot. My friend and I arrived around 7:30. We didn’t make a reservation but they seated us right away inside and the ambiance was wonderful. Loved the...decor. I ordered the tortellini in broth and a side salad. Both were perfect!! We also shared the tiramisu and LOOOVED it. Stefano our waiter was awesome. Couldn’t recommend this place enough!!More

Yes. I'm a vegetarian also. They were so helpful and made a vegetarian version of the ragu with home made pasta - delicious.
