Fortino di Don Peppe In Reggio nell'emilia

16/07/2025: We had lunch with an à la carte menu featuring a choice of meat and fish. The portions are adequate, the food average. Service was courteous but a bit slow. The tables were lacking in cleanliness. I was a guest, so I can't comment on the value for money.

24/06/2025: This restaurant was recommended by the staff at my hotel Holiday Inn Express, and I’m glad I followed their suggestion. It’s conveniently located less than a mile away and offers a cozy, inviting ambience. They have separate seating arrangements for groups and regular diners, and the place is also pet-friendly, which is a nice touch. I ordered zucchini, mushroom risotto, and vegetarian risotto. The chef was very accommodating and understood our preferences perfectly. Instead of serving individual portions, he thoughtfully prepared everything on a large shared platter, making it easier for us to taste and enjoy together. Although I’m not very familiar with Italian cuisine beyond the usual pizzas and pastas, I genuinely enjoyed trying these traditional dishes. While I couldn’t finish all of it, I appreciated the flavors and the opportunity to experience something different. Overall, a great experience and a lovely place to explore authentic Italian dishes in a warm and welcoming setting.
