02/03/2026: The Carraccis offer a unique experience. The interiors are beautiful and evocative, covered in frescoes by the Carracci brothers. The tasting menu is a journey that will leave you speechless. You discover flavors I never thought I'd experience with such common and traditional ingredients. The "La Dotta, La Grassa, La Rossa" menu explores Emilian and Bolognese traditions with innovations in every dish. For example, the Parmigiano Reggiano extract accompanying the mortadella terrine was a unique explosion of flavors. Words cannot describe the deliciousness of the tortellini, lasagnetta, and petroniana. Three perfect dishes, flawless, perfectly constructed, with just the right proportions. The best dishes I've ever eaten. The lemon splash is a real treat; it literally explodes in your mouth and washes away all the savory flavors, preparing your palate for the desserts. Even the desserts were perfect.
Excellent service; all the waiters were very kind, knowledgeable, and friendly. Despite the charming setting, the waiters manage to make you feel at home, as if you were having a family dinner.
A particularly nice gesture was when a waiter came to clear the breadcrumbs from our table and told us that they actually recommend that customers break the bread with their hands and crumble it on the table, because it's a convivial gesture that makes them feel at home, and that's what they want their guests to feel, and we certainly felt that way.
Furthermore, there's a very extensive wine list and the sommelier is extremely knowledgeable and kind.
16/02/2026: We tried the "La dotta, la grassa, la rossa" tasting menu, and I must say it was a truly impeccable experience. Each course was meticulously crafted, with rich and well-balanced flavors. Everything, absolutely everything, was exquisite.
The setting is elegant and enchanting, the kind that immediately makes you feel special. The service was perfect: attentive, precise, and never intrusive.
A tasting worthwhile, especially if you want to experience Bologna at its best. Highly recommended!
