A local institution, well worth the short trip from Bologna. The friendliest of staff welcomes you to a tavern where pretty much everything has been kept and preserved from the passing of time, including the recipes of the kitchen. Making the most of what local producers can offer, from vegetables to meat, all the way to the grapes for the wine. My wife and I enjoyed a quick meal on the way to the seaside. The waitress helped us create a small tasting menu by halving portions of some starters. Even then, we left the restaurant rolling! All we had was delicious, with a special mention for the tagliatelle with ragù, pure heaven. Given what we ate, both in quantity and quality, a full meal for 50€ is really fair and adequate. Looking forward to another visit!

A very pleasant lunch. The friggione with tigelle was excellent, and the nettle tagliatelle with ragù were very good. The selection of French wines and craft beers was also appreciated, which is not always the case for a traditional osteria.
The customer service was also excellent: after sending an email to reserve, I received a quick call back to confirm my table. The kitchen atmosphere was also lovely, with a multi-ethnic team working with professionalism and camaraderie.
The only drawback: the space is really small. The tables are so close together that it's easy to share the company of other diners... and you'll go home with the lingering smell of ragù on your clothes. Luckily, the ragù was good!
Overall, an authentic osteria, with excellent food and a lot of personality.

I was there yesterday with two friends.
We had one of their signature dishes.
The tuna.
What can I say? It was breathtaking.
Where there's quality, there's quality.
Next time, we'll go for tagliatella 😜

Hello. An old-fashioned osteria, with old memorabilia hanging on the walls. Limited seating means reservations are recommended. The food is good and plentiful, super plentiful. Very friendly staff. Enjoy your meal.

We had dinner at Osteria di Medicina and were pleasantly surprised!
We started with an excellent appetizer of mortadella and tigelline, followed by tigelline with cod, which were truly delicious.
For our first course, we had a refreshing gazpacho, perfect for the season, and spectacular green nettle tagliatelle with ragù (their signature dish): simply the best I've ever eaten! Delicious, flavorful, expertly made, and a truly generous portion. I was so sad to leave some behind, but I couldn't take it anymore 🥲😂
The quality of the ingredients and the dishes is exceptional, and you can taste it in every course. In the end, we had to forgo dessert; we were too full!
The prices are slightly above average, but considering the excellent quality of the food and the generous portions, they are absolutely justified.
The atmosphere is rustic, in perfect old-fashioned osteria style: quaint, warm, and welcoming. The staff was courteous, kind, and attentive.
One suggestion: consider slightly smaller portions for some dishes. The quality is so high that leaving something on your plate, even if you're already full, is truly disappointing!
A place I definitely recommend!

The best tagliatelle in Bologna and the surrounding area, with a high-quality selection of every product, from wine to meats, vegetables, and cured meats. Everything is perfectly prepared. The wait staff is attentive and very friendly. An excellent experience. Don't miss the desserts.

I'm from Genoa, and every time I visit my father in Lugo, I can't resist stopping here.
The welcome is always impeccable: friendly and attentive service, with a special mention for Ale, the owner, a truly friendly, genuine, and down-to-earth person who makes you feel right at home.
I could write a novel about the food. The tagliatelle with ragù are simply extraordinary: the best I've ever eaten in my life. And the zabaglione... what can I say? So good it's almost illegal!
The quality of the ingredients, the attention to detail, and the atmosphere make every visit an experience worth the trip.
I absolutely recommend it: if you're passing through Medicina, stopping here is practically mandatory.
Check out these photos and you'll understand why! 📸
I'd give it more than five stars, but Google is acting up.

We took a detour, since we were traveling and aren't from the area, to have lunch at this Osteria. It was a good choice; the location is charmingly vintage and full of objects that evoke memories for those with gray hair like myself. The tagliatelle are spectacular; I've never eaten anything so good in my life. A plate of this delicious food completely satisfied my appetite. The zabaglione dessert was the icing on the cake. The wine list is good and well-conceived. The service is provided by lively young people, quick, empathetic, and always with a smile. Naturally, you go home with ragù and friggione to go for those hard times. The bill is usually a sore point, but here you're happy to pay and it's fair for what you get. Thank you for the excellent lunch and for your magnificent hospitality. See you next time!!

We went to dinner at Osteria di Medicina this evening, tempted by the reviews, and I have to say it exceeded our expectations! A traditional, super-welcoming restaurant with very kind and attentive staff!
We had an appetizer of "the magnificent bowl of ragù da intoccio" (wonderful) and tigelle with creamed cod that left us speechless!!
We continued with a three-person casserole dish of green tagliatelle with nettles and ragù (there were four of us, so we took half home)... generous portions and top-notch quality. To finish, a cloud of mascarpone with a chocolate craving... another top-notch!
Truly, congratulations for the quality of the ingredients and the great research behind them!
We'll definitely be back!
