Griglioteca del Macellaio In Casina

09/01/2026: I dined at this agriturismo on a hot and muggy August day in Reggio Emilia. To escape the heat of the Po Valley, my girlfriend and I drove about an hour, and it was absolutely worth it. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a spectacular view of the hills, a panorama that alone makes the trip worthwhile. The location is elegant and meticulously maintained, with a sophisticated yet welcoming atmosphere. The fresh hill air quickly made us forget the heat of the day. The menu offers traditional Emilian dishes with a touch of originality. For appetizers, I chose gnocco fritto and cured meats, both excellent quality and authentic in flavor. I also tried the fried erbazzone: an interesting and tasty version, although, as a true Reggio Emilia native, I admit the original remains unbeatable. My girlfriend opted for the cappellacci stuffed with venison and parmesan cream: a rich, balanced, and flavorful dish. I instead ordered the fillet with balsamic vinegar, incredibly tender and perfectly cooked. To finish, we treated ourselves to two desserts, both delicious and beautifully presented. The bill, including still water, came to €85.50 for two: a fair price considering the quality, location, and service. All in all, a truly enjoyable experience in every way. We returned home satisfied and eager to return as soon as possible, perhaps to try other dishes on the menu.

19/11/2025: Very nice and friendly accommodation. Only the poor soundproofing (inside the house, from the gravel parking lot due to arriving cars and from the passing cars on the adjacent main road) and the resulting lack of sleep justify the star deduction.
