Il Castello di Valbona In Lozzo atestino

15/01/2026: We happened upon this place for dinner... I'd already tried it while passing through Rome. The dishes offered reflect Romagna tradition. I had pasta with truffle and pancetta, but the green tagliatelle with mushrooms was also good. We then had dessert: a Modena gem! Mascarpone, Nutella, and amaretto: good, but cloying. I recommend the small coppa. The service was quick, the atmosphere was nice, but I found it a bit disorganized and unwelcoming, which is why I gave it 4 stars and not 5. Prices are average for the place. 2 first courses, 2 glasses of wine, 1 water, a small and a large coppa dessert, and cover charge: €55. There isn't much parking, as it's right under the porticoes of Prato della Valle.

11/01/2026: Excellent welcome and service. I went twice, it’s so good. It is inexpensive, which means, however, that the separate ingredients are not costly, but the lovely combinations of the inspired chef are delicious. For instance, the beef in the tagliata was not as subtle as you might get at twice the price, but the setting within the salad and delicate shavings of grana and some tasty berries was magnificent. Another day the traditional green-pasta lasagna was as great as ever. I loved the dessert of small sugary pastries with a cherry middle to be dipped in liqueur, “little dreams.” Highly recommended.
