Ristorante badessa In Casalgrande

11/02/2025: It didn't excite me. I chose the seafood menu. All the dishes were good, well made, with a nice plating but not really memorable. So-so service for a starred hotel: the wine service was not accurate (too much wine was poured by the waiter and more than once I had to do it myself). In the end good, but not great. Between limitations in choice (tasting only and chosen the day before), not excellent service, dishes of medium interest, you leave with the impression of something missing

01/02/2025: An unforgettable gastronomic experience If there is a place where cooking becomes art and hospitality is transformed into pure excellence, that place is undoubtedly Ca' Matilde. This starred restaurant enchants the senses from the first moment, offering an experience that goes far beyond the simple meal: it is an emotional journey through authentic flavours, creativity and tradition. As soon as you cross the threshold, you are welcomed into an elegant and refined environment, but never excessive: the perfect balance between warmth and refinement. The staff is impeccable, professional and attentive to every detail, capable of making each guest feel unique and pampered. The chef's cuisine is simply extraordinary. Each dish is a small work of art, both from an aesthetic and gustatory point of view. The selection of ingredients is of the highest quality, with an almost obsessive attention to seasonality and the valorization of the territory. The tasting menus offer a surprising sensorial journey: from the "Intramontabili" which celebrate the tradition of Reggio Emilia, up to "Cielo" and "Water in mouth", which take the palate on a journey full of emotions and innovative combinations. The service lives up to the restaurant's reputation: precise, never intrusive, with a great knowledge of the raw materials and the wines offered in combination. The wine list is exceptional, with a curated selection of Italian and international labels that enhance each dish to perfection. Finally, for those who wish to extend the experience, the attached inn offers a relaxing stay in elegant rooms with attention to the smallest details, with a breakfast that stands out for its quality and authenticity. Ca' Matilde is not just a restaurant, it is a sensorial experience that leaves its mark. Perfect for a romantic dinner, a special occasion or simply for those who want to indulge in the pleasure of great cuisine. Absolutely recommended for those looking for the best of the best. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 – A masterpiece of taste and hospitality!
