A break or aperitivo in central Bologna
Terrazza Lounge is not merely one of the most iconic outlooks of Palazzo Maccaferri: it is a place capable of changing your perception of the city. The elevated view, enveloping light, and slower rhythm create the sensation of being in the heart of Bologna and, at the same time, elsewhere.
In the warmer season, this elegant suspended space becomes the outdoor extension of Cucina Portici, opening to hotel guests and to those living the city. A business break, an open-air lunch or dinner, an aperitivo at sunset, a private or business event: Terrazza Lounge may be experienced in endless moments and ways.
A place where you can slow down without going away, contemplate Bologna from above without ever ceasing to belong to it.
The moments of Terrazza Lounge
Located on the second floor of I Portici Hotel, overlooking the greenery of Parco della Montagnola and near the Scalinata del Pincio, Terrazza Lounge lends itself to different moments with the same lightness.
Step away from the frenzy of daily life while remaining in the heart of the city: here is the ideal place for an informal appointment with colleagues and clients.
Every day, from 6:00 PM to 12:00 AM, Terrazza Lounge welcomes you for aperitivo with bar service and an atmosphere that changes with the sunset light.
Cucina Portici is convivial signature cuisine: from 12:15 PM to 2:30 PM and from 7:15 PM to 10:45 PM (except Tuesday evening) with the osteria, and from 7:15 PM to 10:45 PM (except Wednesday) with pizza as well.
On special evenings, Terrazza Lounge comes alive with live music, DJ sets, cuisine, pizza, and signature cocktails, transforming into a place to enjoy from sunset until late at night.
Christenings, weddings, receptions, meetings, and conferences find here an elegant, versatile setting, capable of transforming an event into a beautiful memory.
In the warmer season, Terrazza Lounge brings the Cucina Portici offering outdoors, opening both to hotel guests and to visitors.
Bar service is available daily from 6:00 PM to 12:00 AM, perfect for aperitivo.
The osteria is available from 12:15 PM to 2:30 PM and from 7:30 PM to 10:30 PM, while the pizza selection is served from 6:30 PM to 10:30 PM.
From Thursday through Monday, both offerings are available. Tuesday is dedicated exclusively to the osteria, while Wednesday is reserved for the pizza selection.
The Terrace may also be reserved for private and business events, in synergy with the adjacent Salone delle Feste.
Cucina Portici looks to Emilia’s tradition with contemporary sensitivity.
The menus change with the seasons, yet always celebrate traditional Bolognese cuisine. The fresh pasta is made by the sfogline of Portici Shop, the ingredients are local and seasonal, the guidance is that of Executive Chef Nicola Annunziata and Pastry Chef Vincenzo Digifico, who signs the desserts. In the evening, the pizzeria joins the offering as well, with carefully selected ingredients of the highest quality.
Signature cuisine, yet accessible, to be savored with your gaze turned toward the greenery of Parco della Montagnola.
Organize a private or business event
Aperitifs, christenings, birthdays, weddings, corporate receptions, dinners with important clients: whatever your event, Terrazza Lounge offers an elegant, versatile setting, capable of surprising and adapting to different needs. Its position, adjacent to the Salone delle Feste, further amplifies its possibilities: on one side, the interior space for meetings and conferences; on the other, an iconic outlook to welcome guests in an elevated, informal, convivial dimension.
When experience becomes a visual story
Signature cuisine, beyond the Terrace
The gastronomic experience of I Portici continues in other spaces within Palazzo Maccaferri, between MICHELIN-starred cuisine, daily pauses, and refined sweetness.
