Lo Spuntino In Ravenna

04/02/2025: Family-run restaurant that I have known and frequented for years, located in some ancient and evocative premises in the center of Fognano. The cuisine is excellent and every time I always have the pleasure of being surprised by something, like the succulent pan-fried thrushes last time; the homemade pastas honor tradition and the most authentic flavors of the Apennines, mushrooms, truffles and game, accompany them perfectly. The hunting crostini, truffle cappelletti and passatelli are excellent, among the best that can be found in Romagna; The pigeon is also delicious, as are all the second courses. The house wine is sincere and the hospitality of the hostess is always extraordinary. For me, Cheterena is a place where you can relax and refresh yourself in the best possible way, with a very beautiful alchemy that links the environment, the people and the food!

03/02/2025: Always an intimate place, thanks to the delightful hostess and the family atmosphere. One of the favorite restaurants also of my father-in-law, who is very difficult to please. From the menu some dishes always stand out over others, which are all basically delicious, but some of them really leave their mark, in terms of execution and ingredients. The game crostini are delicious when present, the passatelli are surprising and are far from easy to find correct in consistency and flavour: almost all of them use too much breadcrumbs to prevent them from falling apart, making them excessively tough and flavourless. These are meltable without falling apart, tasty, adorable. We then all 3 choose the pigeon but there were only two portions left, but it went much, much better that way because as an alternative there were... Thrushes! Years, I think a decade at least, since I had the pleasure of finding them. We were also thrilled with the recipe chosen, juicy and very tasty. Here they know how to do the hunting really well, all that we have tried over the years, but as mentioned the whole menu deserves attention
