La Buca Delle Fate In Pievepelago

08/07/2025: After a couple of failed attempts because the place was sold out, this time for Sunday lunch I booked five days in advance... no problem. The place, an old farmhouse under the Panaro riverbank; don't expect a renovation in the style of some Star Wars film; the trattoria is deliberately what it seems, fortunately in this case. Let's get to the food; 6/7 first courses and as many second courses, and 2 buffets, one for appetizers that is then replaced by a dessert buffet. From what we tasted, the verdict is largely positive; the duck ragù is excellent, and especially the stew...outstanding!!! Or, if you prefer, "from another era." Finally, the list of local wines, from the Sorbara area. With a few gems for connoisseurs of homemade bottles without additives and with the classic "lees." Part of the negative aspect is the noise in the dining room when it's full; That's why I promised myself I'd return in the summer when we can eat outside and try the two famous buffets. Service can be a bit slow when the place is fully booked, but don't worry; eating on a farm isn't something you get every day these days.

24/06/2025: It's always a pleasure to come here, for the food, for the project and for the care that the people who work here instill.
