Macelleria Trattoria Fornaciari In Reggio nell'emilia

Honest review: FLORENTINE STEAK SHOULD NOT BE SERVED PRE-CUT. Even though they brought us a grill to keep the dish warm, it was COLD. This happens because it's cut before being served at the table. Consequently, it loses juices and heat, and the "experience" doesn't reflect the quality (if there is any...). The chef should know these things... We ordered the Piedmontese Ox menu, and I quite liked the rest, but I can't say the same about the Florentine steak... it's a premium cut, and you have to be careful how it's served. Also, be careful with the bill: when paying with the POS, the gentleman with gray/white hair entered a certain amount first (the payment didn't go through the first time) and then, on the second attempt, entered the correct amount. I only noticed it afterwards, but I don't think it was a mistake... The prices are fair, but the details that make the difference need to be fixed. Would I go back? Unfortunately, not...

Excellent meat: juicy, flavorful, and tender! The owner was friendly and helpful, and gave us excellent advice based on our needs! Highly recommended!

Excellent meat, highly recommend.

Excellent meat, perfectly cooked. A quiet place with a casual atmosphere. Various menus to choose from, offering a variety of meats. Good value.

I returned to eat at the butcher's after a long time and was truly satisfied! I can say that time really didn't bother me. I went on a Friday night and, with the place practically full, I still managed to book at the last minute, which was no small feat. The service was prompt and precise, and the staff attentive and kind. The food, well, fabulous. The meat is so light and fluffy, it's tasty, delicate, and a real treat. We're still talking about one (if not THE) most famous butcher's shop in Reggio. And to finish, dessert, coffee, and an after-dinner drink, just like any proper dinner. I'll definitely be back, and this time I won't let so much time pass... who knows, maybe we'll see each other there 😉

The meats are excellent, both in quality and cooking, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. The professionalism is top notch. The service is excellent, as are the tartares. The location is always tidy.

I've been to Trattoria del Macellaio Fornaciari in Reggio Emilia and had a truly excellent experience! The atmosphere is pleasant and informal, perfect for a dinner with friends or as a couple. The selection and quality of the meats are extraordinary: every dish is expertly prepared and the flavors are intense and balanced, from the tartare to the tagliata to the wagyu specialties. I highly recommend it!!!

Let's start by saying that the owner is a true meat and wine expert, capable of providing effective advice, and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. However, this doesn't change the fact that the prices (at least for the menu we ate, featuring Vacca Rossa Reggiana) are far too high, coming in at almost €70 per person for an entry-level bottle of Tuscan Sangiovese. For that price, you'll be dining in a proper restaurant with a proper cover charge (not on a paper placemat) and a very respectable location. Personally, I'll avoid it very carefully.

The meat quality was excellent, every cut we tried was excellent. The service was friendly and helpful.

A positive experience: roasted meat and potatoes with Lambrusco. Fabulous...
