L'Artista del Borlengo In Bazzano

A little out of its time in terms of menu and environment. Very kind staff.

A nice spacious and clean environment, on Bazzanese a few steps from the beautiful center of Bazzano. Ordering the Borlengo as a starter is in my opinion a must, really good and from the looks of it the gnocco and tigelle must also be very good. We had grilled fish served on 4 levels with even a little bit of frying. Really a lot of stuff, perhaps all a little bland for fish, but all fresh and delicious.

Excellent traditional borlenghi, and fantastic Florentine steak.....very tender and cooked very well. Good lasagna although, for my taste, a little too much bechamel. We will definitely be back to taste the stuffed and sweet borlenghi. Service present but not intrusive.

We ate fish and all 4 of us left the table dissatisfied... to then spend around €300, I'd say we could have done a little better. Mussels and clams appetizer: ok First courses: spaghetti with clams, never heard so much garlic in a spaghetti with clams. The shellfish linguine was good! Second courses: mixture of fried foods, gratins and skewers which was enough for 10 people, in fact we ate not even 1/3 of it and it wasn't that good. If everything is of excellent quality, it's fine to spend €75 each on a 375cl bottle of wine. But in this case we paid above all for the quantity, which was exaggerated and the quality did not satisfy any of the people at the table. We didn't say anything at the time so as not to create tension, but it is important to listen to customers' opinions, especially if they are dissatisfied. I also want to say that I often eat out and fish too. I'm sorry, the restaurant does many things and certainly good ones, but for the fish I wouldn't recommend it to anyone... with such a high bill!

Excellent Florentine steak and ribeye.... The tempting desserts..... Cozy environment Advised

I wanted to eat traditional Emilian food, so I found "L'Artista del Borlengo" where I had the pleasure of trying their borlenghi, both in the traditional and stuffed versions, and I was satisfied. The traditional borlenghi were good and very thin, and the ones with more thickness I preferred the latter. However, both are crunchy and tasty, with the classic "cunza" based on lard, garlic and rosemary which makes them really good. The stuffed ones, however, represent a real surprise: the proposed combinations add a creative touch without ever betraying tradition. The atmosphere of the place is rustic and welcoming, ideal for a moment in company. The service was quick and the staff were friendly and helpful in explaining every detail of the preparation of this local specialty.

We went on Boxing Day with a previously agreed menu: all fish. The owner was super welcoming and really managed to exceed expectations. The desserts are also very good. Waitresses always nice and attentive to any need. While we were there, intrigued by the name of the restaurant, we concluded with some borlengo, (with a lot of choice, even for vegetarians) and I must say that these are also exceptional. Congratulations to all the staff because it was truly a wonderful experience, on a human and culinary level.

Christmas Eve lunch with my family, kind staff, very nice owner, we had a good time and it satisfied all tastes.

Lunch with work colleagues, excellent borlengo, good first courses too, tigelle, fried mushrooms, wild boar.

Hospitality, friendliness and excellent food
