Osteria La Civichella In Castel san pietro terme

I was there recently for lunch, and I have to say I can't wait to go back. The first courses were excellent, made with top-notch ingredients, which was reflected in the kind of flavor that, unfortunately, is increasingly rare to find. The preparation was also practically perfect. The highlight of the meal, however, were the crescentine with cured meats. Especially the cured meats and cheeses. There's a shop next door that sells gourmet products, including top-quality cured meats and cheeses, sourced from top-quality local producers (it's a passion of the owner). And you can taste the difference compared to the typical crescentine place that serves cured meats that all taste the same (or almost). This quality of the ingredients, among other things, makes the quality/price ratio truly excellent. The wine selection also seems interesting, although not extensive. The place is an osteria, so not an elegant or sophisticated restaurant, but the atmosphere is in keeping with the type of place: clean and well-presented, with well-placed tables and, despite the small space, not too crowded (a tad too crowded for my taste, but still acceptable, considering there were only two of us, so another table for two next door was almost inevitable). Even though it was crowded and there was a large table, it wasn't too noisy, especially since the food is so good that by the time it arrives, you're busy eating. As I said, I can't wait to go back, and this time I'll just order the crescentine and cured meats. Not because the first courses aren't worth it, but because I want to enjoy the cured meats better.

Carefully selected ingredients, expertly crafted cured meats, and a genuine, bygone atmosphere. Definitely try the gnocchi with mutton ragù, a rare dish. Follow the host's instructions. A round of applause!

A reunion with old military friends We booked this old tavern in Castel San Pietro Terme for lunch with old military comrades. It's a quaint location with just a few tables. Silvano, the owner, and his granddaughter are incredibly kind and make you feel at home. The food is delicious: cured meats and bruschetta with Colonnata lard and honey, served with piadina romagnola and crescentine, tagliatelle with salsiccia matta ragù, and a superb grilled mutton and salsiccia matta made on site. Cantuccini biscuits and desert roses to dip in Vin Santo Sangiovese and Malvasia, coffee, and liqueurs. The quality-price ratio is more than excellent. We'll definitely return. Highly recommended. Reservations required.

Excellent food, there are those who still want to eat WELL.

Typical Bolognese tavern Standard dishes but out-of-market prices. Tagliataelle and grilled sirloin plus water €48.

Authentic place, Silvano is great. The food is amazing, as always!

A family atmosphere, excellent food recommended especially for lovers of superior cured meats

An authentic osteria, bar, and delicatessen, where cuisine and hospitality come together for an experience steeped in Bolognese flavor and tradition. The price includes a bottle of wine. The best zuppa inglese I've ever eaten is noteworthy.

Excellent food, authentic trattoria, the host Silvano is a real force

Traditional food, rustic atmosphere, friendly host, excellent selection of cured meats and wines
