Trattoria Al Voltone di Faroldi Metella In Soragna

09/02/2026: We took advantage of the 50th birthday promotion for two, which included dinner and accommodations. The location is beautiful, charming, and peaceful. Unfortunately, it was foggy, but the atmosphere was still very charming. Before dinner, we visited the culatello aging cellars, where the entire process was explained to us. Dinner included an aperitif, four courses, dessert, and a petite pâtisserie. The package included wine pairings, featuring local wines of their own production. The service was impeccable, as you'd expect from a Michelin-starred restaurant. The menu was fantastic, as the photos show. We stayed in the "Emilia" room, a spacious and welcoming room with high ceilings and exposed beams, decorated in a milk/cow theme.

25/01/2026: We stayed for two nights in this fantastic historic residence! Hotel: beautiful, authentic. The historic common areas are breathtaking. It feels like being in another era. The room is comfortable, spacious, and full of amenities. The bed and the room temperature were perfect. From our viewpoint, we could see the peacock house, and we loved it. Restaurant: we tried both... the ancient Pallavicina courtyard has a fantastic menu, and every dish was rich in flavor and history (we tried the 15th anniversary menu). The dining room is beautiful, and the tableware is rare to find. Perhaps the only downside is the service... extremely slow, but I think there was a mix-up because we waited an hour between the arrival and the first course. There are many young people practicing, so you have to be patient because overall, it's a great experience. The Culatello Museum and the cellar with the culatellos maturing are the icing on the cake! A very positive experience, a very high-level, elegant restaurant (and with deep roots, without improvisation). The Hosteria del maiale, on the other hand, offers excellent local dishes and a small shop. Spending two days in this establishment allows you to better understand this rugged yet enchanting area and the history of this family over the years. Come without hesitation.
