Onigiri Raku

This is our favourite spot for comfort food in Bologna. They provide cheap, amazing eats with a service that is as straightforward as it gets. You can either order take away or order, grab your drink, and sit down to wait for your traditionally made dish. The flavours are amazing and the intimate setting ensures every dish is made with attention, very similar to what one would find in Japan.

The location was very cute and the atmosphere was very calm and quite with relaxed music. Since it was my first time being here I just bought two onigiri (one with pollo karaage and the other one with raw salmon) and they were very delicious and fulfilling. The service was normal and the owner wasn’t rude as anyone else is saying. It took a while for them to prepare the food but I didn’t mind that. I’m very looking forward to try out their meal at lunch in the small restaurant next time :)) but for now I really recommend trying out their onigiri!!

I ordered sushi and dumplings. The sushi was better than average; the pork stuffing for the dumplings was dry. I had to use a lot of soy sauce. Super nice guy took my order. Small place, 8 chairs.

Have been in Italy on holidays for three weeks and was looking for something non Italian for dinner. Quick google search near where I was staying came up with Onigiri. Reviews did not disappoint. Fresh food, quick service and a really lovely run family business. If I’m back in Bologna, would definitely return. Thanks for a great meal.

Best oyakodon I've ever had. I mean ever, and as someone who studied abroad in Japan and visit every few years, I do feel that I've had some great oyakodons as compairson. Everything here tastes like love and home. The eggs were perfectly runny, the chicken was tender and marinated, so full of flavor! The onigiri was so yummy. We also had a meatball special that was delicious as well. I've been far away from home in Europe for 2 months now so to be able to taste home-cooked Japanese food made me feel really happy. The gentleman that served us was so sweet. If you are a traveler and missing home cooked japanese or asian food, come here, you will be well taken care of. Thank you so much for doing what you do! We'll be back.

Simply perfect. The food was spectacular, traditional cooking at its very best. The broth was out of this world. Staff was polite, welcoming and kind. A respectful energy which seems harder and harder to find in this world. Overall atmosphere took me back to Tokyo. Marvellous. Hope to visit again some day.

ここは本物です。 Genuine Japanese Dishes I am Japanese and strongly recommend all friends and you!! The taste is gorgeous, and cooked by a real Japanese chef. For example, the tenderness of egg and chicken, a slight accent of citrus, and perfectly steamed rice!! There is an attentive heart. Though I have spent years outside Japan, I have never gotten this level of cuisine. Oh, you may think "But it's expensive, isn't it?" No way. This is also one of the most reasonable prices. I have eaten some more expensive Japanese food out of Japan, but the quality is lower than here. If you are considering, now or never!!

Really great authentic and unassuming Japanese restaurant. Lovely husband and wife team with a great atmosphere. Only seating space for 12 but they do take out as well. The food was exceptional and tasty. So much so I went back the next day for dinner. Highly recommended if you're staying in Bologna
