I think the correct definition is… Culinary and Human Experience.
A place of worship for humanity and cuisine, to be savored, and any description would be too personal.
A must-try.

We stayed at Lanterna di Diogene and can't say enough good things about it. The place is surrounded by nature, quiet and relaxing, ideal for unwinding and enjoying some peace and quiet. The breakfast was truly excellent, with homemade and authentic products.
The owners are super kind, welcoming, and always available, making you feel at home from the moment you arrive. The room was clean,
well-equipped, and with attention to detail. We also had dinner there: delicious cuisine, with simple yet flavorful dishes prepared with local ingredients.
An authentic experience that we recommend to those seeking peace, good food, and a warm welcome. We'll definitely be back!

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.

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.

Good food, unfortunately no desserts.
Nice atmosphere especially on the outside, inside it is a little old but this is normal given that it is located in a sort of old farmhouse.

Country restaurant with a disability-inclusive purpose. Excellent and super abundant food at zero km. External space for children and presence of animals. It deserves it. Well done!

Quite particular: appetizers, desserts and bitters buffet style.
Everything is excellent, from the first courses to the fried gnocco and the head cup is amazing!
Luckily they put signs along the embankment to reach the place.

Food, service, environment! Gastronomy experience different from the usual restaurant. Good food cooked with passion, service and environment all well taken care of and the sweetness of those who serve you is pleasant, it brings serenity and calm. Something that is now getting lost even in a lunch or dinner. Buffet starters as well as desserts and liqueurs. Homemade pasta, really good fried dumpling. I hope to return soon. Thank you so much Samantha

Il posto è bellissimo, si mangia bene e anche troppo. Il buffet dei dolci è un attentato alla vita 😂 chapeu al cameriere che, anche se un po' brusco, riesce a servire con cura la sala piena zeppa. Per me è sempre un' esperienza magica. Però il prezzo è leggermente eccessivo, anche se ogni tanto ci può stare. Bravi! ❤️
