Antica Osteria Fiesso In Castenaso

I stumbled upon it by chance, drawn by the sign, but struggled to find the entrance along the fence of the building, which initially looked like a detached house, a bit rundown. Inside, the place was clean and tidy but half-empty; the staff was friendly, and the food was decent. The restrooms were in need of maintenance and renovation, but not dirty. Prices were a bit higher than expected for the location, but overall average. Street parking is available nearby, without many problems.

Excellent traditional Bolognese trattoria. I go there whenever I can for lunch. They offer a fixed-price menu for workers, which always includes at least two first courses, two second courses, and two side dishes. So far, everything I've tried has been excellent and with adequate portions. During the warmer months, there are also outdoor tables. I highly recommend it. If you can't find parking right in front, just cross the street and there's plenty in the neighborhood.

It's a great place to enjoy traditional cuisine without getting robbed. The service is impeccable and tolerant even of the most demanding customers. The atmosphere is casual. Parking is easy.

I had been craving it for a while and here I found a delicious and plentiful Bolognese cutlet, just as it should be.

Even though we've lived in Castenaso for 23 years, it was our first time at this osteria, which is located in a hamlet within the same municipality. The atmosphere is simple yet refined, and the food is excellent (very tender steak, side dish of special porcini mushrooms). The menu also features traditional Roman pasta dishes and fried frogs, which we didn't try. The price is fair. We'll be back.

We had a great time, excellent service, and quality food (the tender fillet steak in balsamic vinegar was amazing). A pleasant surprise, we'll be back!
