La Ciliegina Caffe & Cucina In Castel san pietro terme

You eat well and the food is unique as is the menu...well done

Tried for the first time, this restaurant, hidden behind a vending machine, is a surprise, especially once you cross the threshold: from the outside it might seem anonymous, but inside it reveals a pleasant Scandinavian style, featuring light woods and understated lines that create an elegant and welcoming atmosphere. The cuisine is undoubtedly the strong point. The menu is neither over-the-top nor cheap: a few local specialties, well-executed and prepared with top-quality ingredients. The portions aren't large, but they are balanced, and the consistency of the offerings—confirmed by previous reviews—is an added bonus. The prices are fair and perfectly in line with the quality offered. The service, initially a bit rushed and distant (probably due to the arrival of other tables at the same time), later proved to be friendly and empathetic. The coffee was also good, a pleasant end to the experience. A place that leaves a positive impression and one we'll gladly return to if necessary.

Excellent food, fast and friendly service. Maybe a little pricey?

Trattoria associated with a gas station on the Via Emilia. I'd passed by many times and decided to stop. You expect a place from the past. The atmosphere is pleasant. The cuisine is good, offering traditional dishes without any extravagance. The decor is typical of a trattoria: napkins, not tablecloths. The service is acceptable. The menu honestly lists the prices. It's not cheap. It makes you think of old-fashioned cuisine, with generous portions. The portion sizes, however, are limited, almost nouvelle cuisine-style. The prices are high for the amount served and commensurate with the elegance you might not expect from this type of trattoria.
