Visitors to Bologna often set aside a meal for fresh pasta, but sometimes the plan calls for sushi and a predictable price. On Via Andrea Costa, west of the centre, Miyabi offers an all-you-can-eat lunch for €15.90 on weekdays and €17.90 at weekends and on public holidays. Further south, Koi Sushi & Oriental lists the same lunch prices, with an additional €2 cover charge. One distinction matters: neither is a self-service buffet. Guests order at the table, while drinks and desserts cost extra.
At Miyabi, dinner rises to €25 Monday to Friday and €27 at weekends and on public holidays. The website says some dishes have ordering limits and a 25% surcharge may apply to food left uneaten. Comments praise sushi presentation, staff and variety, while some mention noise, waits or ordering restrictions. Weekday lunch is the least expensive way to sample the menu without turning the visit into a long dinner.
Koi serves lunch and dinner daily, according to its website, with a similar menu and higher dinner prices: €26.90 Monday to Thursday and €27.90 from Friday to Sunday and on public holidays. Drinks and desserts are added to the €2 cover charge, so check what falls outside the menu price before sitting down. Visitors praise variety and service, while some report delays at busy times. These are personal experiences that can vary with the sitting and how busy the restaurant is.
For a fair comparison, calculate the full cost per person: menu, cover charge, drink and dessert if wanted. On weekdays, Miyabi and Koi start at the same price; Miyabi is closer to the western side of the centre, while Koi is further south. If you are sightseeing around Piazza Maggiore, neither is right beside the main monuments, so check transport and include the journey in your meal budget. Booking at peak times helps reduce waiting and lets you confirm the menu conditions.
These restaurants work best for people who enjoy trying several dishes and are happy to follow responsible-ordering rules. Do not order more than you can eat: apart from a possible surcharge, waste does not improve the meal. Read the current menu, mention allergies when booking and confirm public-holiday hours. If you specifically want an open buffet of ready-to-serve food, ask whether the restaurant offers that format on your date; an unlimited sushi menu is ordered dish by dish and is not a self-service spread.
Check current details and choose according to your budget, time and way of travelling.
