Special occasion dinner in Bologna?

[fbf242]

I am studying in Bologna for the semester. As a student, most of my meals have been cooking for myself or cheap eats (which I will make a thorough post on at the end of my time here), but I am looking for a recommendation for a special dinner out - my boyfriend is here and we will be celebrating my birthday. We want to keep prices reasonable (no more than 50 Euros each, drinks included), and great food (rather than a fancy setting) is definitely the priority, but a romantic/special ambiance would be nice. Any recommendations?

This might be too late...but..
Try to get to Osteria Romagnola on the via Rialto in the San Stefano area
It is a wonderful little place with great food and great service' Try the pumpkin tortelonni for the primi piatti and for secondi try the beef braised in wine with ploneta. I don't think they had a printed menu but the waiter will tell you the dishes. It is very romatic but may be a little over E50.

I second Osteria Romagnola. Had dinner there 2x in one week.
