An authentic place where you can tell things are done with passion and care. Spectacular haute cuisine. Top-notch house wines. Excellent service. I would return every week if I could.

A truly excellent restaurant. We'd been wanting to go for a while, so we went for Easter.
We had a wonderful time, especially because of the native language and the Italo wine they produce.
We also discovered that you could buy the excellent Abbess's caramels with the sauce we'd just eaten. Highly recommended.

Treat yourself.
Treat yourself to dinner at the Badessa restaurant.
Refined dishes that are extremely respectful of the history, tradition, and unique characteristics of our region.
My compliments especially to Alberto for the passion and expertise he brings to describing his wines: this was the icing on the cake of an already perfect dinner. Keep it up!

I went for lunch at this charming restaurant in the Reggio Emilia countryside. The location is charming and unique; we ate indoors, but in the warmer months, there's also the option of enjoying a splendid outdoor seating area. The food reflects local traditions and is of excellent quality; whatever you choose, you won't be disappointed. The service is courteous and prompt, and you'll also receive impeccable wine recommendations (including local and niche options). You can also purchase local products to take home. I highly recommend this restaurant.
We'll definitely be back!

Back at Badessa after about six months, two of us, for a midweek lunch, the culmination of a trip out of town for us Piacenza natives. Alberto welcomes us with his usual enthusiasm and contagious passion for raw materials and Lambrusco. Our selection ranges from a wide array of cured meats, with special yeast-free fried gnocchi and, of course, sheep's ham, to Badessa Riserva cappelletti and half a pacchero made from Reggiano wheat (splendid drawing, an excellent base of rabbit ragù, and a touching garnish of crispy sweet and sour shallots), to braised cheeks and spiced pork ribs (even now, a day later, I miss that moment). The grand finale is Badessa ice cream, when simplicity is everything!
We are very demanding people, attentive to the raw materials and their preparation in the kitchen, committed to passion and the pursuit of a modern cuisine rooted in tradition. At Badessa, we found all this, elements that are increasingly rare in Italy and therefore worthy of preservation. Well done, folks, keep up the good work and don't be discouraged by the masses who, unfortunately, often demand things without understanding.

A stunning venue, created from the renovation of a former Parmigiano Reggiano cheese dairy, with excellent cuisine and a wide selection of wines. The owner is very helpful and will accommodate even the most specific requests, ensuring maximum satisfaction.
