Bar Pasticceria Fratelli Asta In Bologna

02/08/2024: Small family-run restaurant with strong Marche roots. Clean environment with attention to detail, pastel colours, with few seats and an open kitchen. The feeling is of having been invited to a friend's house for an intimate dinner. The staff is always friendly and present. The menu obviously draws on the tradition of their land: the Ascoli olives in the two versions of meat and fish and the vincisgrassi are almost inevitable; the kebabs are excellent, to be accompanied by a glass of Conero red wine; homemade cantuccini and sour cherry wine. However, the proposal is often renewed and also offers vegetarian dishes. Yesterday I tried the seafood amatriciana mezzemaniche (swordfish, datterini tomatoes and sprinkled with pecorino), in which the quality of the raw materials was evident. I can only recommend Afrodita, also for the originality of the formula which stands out from most of the places around. I suggest booking.

19/06/2024: Four stars of encouragement for this small place, feminine and pleasant in its environment, suitable for a light breakfast/lunch (but a shame about that very strong smell of fish that welcomes you upon entering...)
