Delizioso In Bologna

11/02/2025: It was a real pleasure to find this restaurant in the hills south of Bologna. From the start, Chef Andrea and his staff offered warm hospitality and simple explanations of their regional dishes. Between the salami dish, the tortellini in brodo, and the maccherone al ragù bianco dish, I really appreciated the mix of creativity and tradition with a light touch. Coming from Australia and living in Italy for years, I have been fortunate to have eaten good food all over Italy and beyond. Antica Trattoria La Grotta 1918 is truly a place to visit, and I will be returning with friends and family in the future. Thanks to Chef Andrea and Staff!

10/02/2025: We had dinner at this restaurant on Saturday 8 February, intrigued by the numerous positive reviews and the Michelin Bib Gourmand badge. What can I say, chef Andrea Funi and all his staff reserve special attention for all customers. The chef, who is very present in the room, describes dishes, raw materials and preparations with commendable dedication. The dishes are simple traditional dishes but executed to perfection. We also returned for the Sunday lunch service, thanks to the chef who found us a table even though the restaurant was fully booked. In doing so we also tried other dishes including the fresh pasta rigorously rolled with a rolling pin by Mrs. Elena. Exceptional. Excellent value for money. Highly recommended!
