Reminds of a meal in Bologna. Except I rolled the dice with Google. Good reviews so I walked to the address and when I arrived it was dark. I thought it strange and double checked. Yup right address - but closed. It was Sunday so figured that must be why. Next door was another little restaurant that looked nice enough so walked and asked for a table.
While there I noticed at least two others come into the restaurant thinking that it was the one closed. Upon finding out it was not it they simply left. I felt bad for all as they were offered a table and the meal and the desert was most excellent. Definitely a highlight of my stay in Bologna.
