La Casona Tutti Fritti In San giovanni in persiceto

I had lunch here today. I was greeted as if I were a regular, but I'd never been here before. Everyone greeted me with a smile, and the entire staff greeted me with a good morning, so we were off to a great start. I savored "works of art" from these gentlemen. Manuele, friendly and professional, made me feel right at home. But I'll definitely be back; I highly recommend this place. Good luck, guys.

I was here for a company dinner. I'd read a few reviews before going, and I have to say I found some things to be good, while others, I think, depended heavily on the evening. Let's start with the appetizers: tigelle, cured meats, and crescentine were very good, true to tradition. They're not really my style, but that's just personal preference. The fried foods, on the other hand, didn't convince me: they weren't very inviting to look at and, overall, not particularly memorable. And then... all fried? At the end of the evening, the only thing that was truly guaranteed was the smell of fried food in my clothes: as soon as I got home, everything went straight to the washing machine. The first courses, fortunately, lifted my spirits: both the tortelloni and passatelli were truly delicious. I've read that they're handmade, and honestly, I believe it. A small hiccup: a colleague was left without a first course, and when the waiter returned with the passatelli, they were a bit loose. Perhaps a little more care wouldn't go amiss. The famous sorbet—much criticized in other reviews—was served in a paper cup. I found this an unexpectedly nice idea: a "green" touch consistent with a trattoria, certainly not a Michelin-starred restaurant. I'd go back.

Particular attention to gluten-free foods...

Great lunch break with a fixed menu for €15. You can choose between three first courses and three second courses, and the menu includes water and coffee. Fast service, and the girls are very kind.

The food was good, but the wait was a bit longer. The owner is amazing, but the staff was a bit cold.

We were in a hurry, due to work in the area. But they surprised us with the speed of service. The tagliatelle Bolognese and the cutlet were excellent... and the mascarpone? Truly top-notch.

Rustic atmosphere, large dining room (a bit noisy). Varied menu with classic Emilian dishes, gnocco fritto, tigelle, and very good local cured meats. Staff are attentive and always available. Competitive prices.

Crescentine were excellent as always. Good value. Unfortunately, it was a busy Saturday night and a bit noisy. Service was quick and attentive.

The cold cuts and crescentine were excellent. The pasta dishes were good. The desserts were very good. Unfortunately, we were seated next to a very noisy table, and no one told them to keep it down. We couldn't talk to each other. What a shame.

As always, excellent value for money.
