Agriturismo Serra Dei Gatti In Vergato

Nestled in the hills of Bologna, a Sunday afternoon well spent, lunch for two and a nap on the lawn. The passatelli were spectacular, the staff were incredibly kind. See you soon!

It often happens that, despite being on a lesser-traveled road, I find myself passing this restaurant. And almost every time I give in to the temptation to stop. Every visit proves a pleasant surprise for the palate. The place is enchanting: meticulously designed down to the last detail and overlooking a splendid valley that offers a relaxing and evocative view. The interior, spread across several rooms on the first floor, is welcoming, bright, and furnished with understated yet refined taste. The food selection isn't particularly extensive, and I believe this is a deliberate choice: to prioritize the quality of each dish over quantity. And indeed, each course reflects attention to detail, balance, and top-quality ingredients. The service is quick, attentive, and friendly. Even on the busiest occasions—like last time, with a table of over thirty people—the organization proved impeccable, ensuring more than reasonable service times. Outside, a well-kept and scenic green area invites you to linger a while longer, perhaps for a coffee in the sun. There's also a play area for the little ones, designed with the same care that's evident throughout the rest of the restaurant. The adjacent parking lot is spacious and convenient. The restaurant is located next to the clay pigeon shooting range, but what's truly striking is the tranquility it exudes: an oasis of flavor and tranquility that's always worth the detour.

We ate well and drank well. The location was lovely, overlooking the children's playground, which (weather permitting) allowed us to keep an eye on them while enjoying our lunch. Highly recommended!

Delicious food, fast service, and a very clean place. We'll definitely be back.

I had the pumpkin risotto with gorgonzola balsamic vinegar and amaretti crumble: out of this world! Delicious!!

Excellent food, wonderful location, hospitable and very kind staff.

I must admit that the food was VERY good... Too bad the service wasn't adequate... It's true that it's a farmhouse and not a starred restaurant (the food would deserve it) but, if someone has been or has something else on their mind or doesn't feel like it, they can also not come to work.... Apart from the mistake in the reservation (not our fault), which can happen, a smile, a word.... Nothing, just an absent "person" as if we weren't there or were a "nuisance"..... What can I say about the owner (I imagine.... Maybe they were relatives?).... Aside from the fact that any inconvenience is resolved in silence and between those responsible for the diners, doing the bill with a calculator and NOT with the cash register is UNACCEPTABLE.... Aside from the fact that one can make mistakes (for or against the parties) I find it unfair for the check I could have done.... In fact, he entered the total to be paid!!.... And, to finish, not even a greeting or a "thank you, we'll be waiting for you" again.." If you want to run a restaurant business to also cover the costs incurred for the renovation, kindness is certainly among the first points to make the customer return: food, courtesy, place.... And, for me, at the end comes the bill!!! Will I return? Maybe, the lunch was really good... Or maybe not... We'll see.

Very beautiful and panoramic location, we ate on the terrace overlooking the hills. Very courteous and helpful service. The dishes were really excellent, carefully prepared and well presented. Very varied and tasty mixed appetizer (missing in the photos). The first courses were really excellent, especially the balanzoni with pepper cream. Fried courgette flowers stuffed with squacquerone and sausage, a must-try. Top amaretto pudding. All crowned with an excellent Lambrusco. Excellent value for money. I definitely recommend this establishment!
