Fattoria Zivieri In Sasso marconi

Beautiful location, well-kept and well-maintained, very kind and helpful staff, exquisite, authentic dishes and a riot of flavors.

In a fortunate environment, it's jarring not to offer vegan options to diners. The kitchen is reluctant to prepare a dish that's different from the menu.

Nestled in the countryside, about a 40-minute drive from Bologna. The atmosphere is refined and very pleasant, ideal for those seeking tranquility outside the city. The appetizer was good but decidedly too small in portions, both for the cured meats and cheeses. The meat was good quality, but not particularly memorable. Even the first course, while decent, was unremarkable. The game selection was interesting, with an intense flavor—perhaps too much for some—and unique. It's curious (and a bit unusual) that the staff specifies that they cannot guarantee the complete absence of hunting pellets: perhaps a sign of authenticity, but it's perplexing. The strong point is definitely the service: the staff were very kind and attentive, even willing to move us to another table when we complained about the cold air in the front room. Negative note: the road to get there is rather inconvenient, winding, and poorly lit. Decent value for money.

Excellent meat from their farm, extremely flavorful and perfectly grilled. The service was excellent, as was the appetizer platter.

Excellent mid-August lunch. Locally sourced menu, dishes with traditional yet unexpected flavors. We enjoyed everything. The staff was polite and smiling, always attentive. To conclude, we took a guided group tour of the farm, accompanied by a friendly and helpful woman. The animals are very well cared for, and it was very enjoyable. A beautiful day. Highly recommended.

We went for lunch on Ferragosto (August 15th). Given the event, the menu was set, but everything was delicious. The location is beautiful, especially for families with children. After lunch, we purchased fresh eggs and cheese, then they gave us a tour of the stables and their livestock. Highly recommended!

Very nice, well-kept Agriturismo restaurant. Meat menu. Good quality.

I had MUCH higher expectations. The rib eye was too thin and ordered rare, but it arrived overcooked. The Fassona steak was mediocre. The summer truffle was tasteless. The prices were definitely too high for what was on offer. In the hot summer months, I recommend better ventilation of the outdoor seating area. The location is beautiful, the service was quite good. The cuisine needs improvement.
