Arci Rastignano In Pianoro

24/10/2024: On Saturday 19 October I had dinner in this splendid restaurant together with my friends, immersed in the green hills of San Lorenzo. The venue is charming, surrounded by nature, and the atmosphere is perfect for a relaxing evening. The food? Simply exquisite, with carefully prepared and high quality dishes. But what makes this place truly unique are the owners: very kind, helpful and extraordinarily humane people. The evening, however, took an unexpected turn. Just as we were at the restaurant, Bologna and its province were hit by a violent flood. A nearby hill collapsed, blocking access to the road and leaving us, a group of 13 people, along with other customers, unable to return home. A situation that could have turned into a nightmare, but instead, thanks to the generosity of the owner and his staff, became a positive memory. Not only did they provide us with blankets, pillows and mattresses for the night, but they let us sit upstairs, where the heated floor allowed us to rest in total comfort. The next morning, a surprise awaited us: a table laden with pastries and cakes for a breakfast fit for a king, all offered as part of the dinner! Despite the difficulties, we feel lucky to have had this experience in such a welcoming place, where the hospitality exceeded all expectations. We sincerely thank the owner and all his staff for their incredible kindness and thoughtfulness. We can't wait to return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for great food, a dream location and, why not, a memorable overnight stay! ;)

01/10/2024: I was there for my niece’s confirmation lunch and can’t wait to be back Their home made lasagne and dumplings are way above average and the dry sparkling white begs to be bought in barrels, albeit at a very decent price Hats down Maybe their only point of improvement could possibly be found in the speed of service but who cares with a challenging table of twenty on a relaxed Sunday
