Trattoria Dal Biassanot In Bologna

07/01/2026: An impromptu lunch for my birthday since I happened to be passing through the area. The place is very welcoming and in the old-fashioned Bolognese trattoria style, just the way I like it. A selection of high-quality wines and spirits are beautifully displayed at the entrance. As for lunch, I ordered a slow-cooked egg with cream cheese, served in a smoked bowl. The smoke really covered the flavor of the dish, which, unfortunately, also had truffle. Then came the gramigna and sausage, which were very good. The service was a bit of a weak point. Perhaps it was a particularly busy day, and I saw the girls and the owner struggling a bit. For the same reason, I had the feeling he was a bit gruff, but that didn't detract from my experience, which I consider to be more than positive. Prices are moderately high compared to other trattorias.

04/01/2026: If the Fellowship of the Ring had passed through Bologna, it would have stopped here. At Trattoria da Sandro al Navile, I ate like a hobbit after a long march: hearty, filling, and damn good. The tortelli al ragù are something crafted on the slopes of Mount Doom: rich, filling, uncompromising. The meat dish was as tender as Samwise's conscience, and accompanied by side dishes that weren't extras, but co-stars. It's not a cheap inn, but what you get on your plate more than justifies the trip. A special mention goes to the waitresses: friendly, kind, and attentive, more elven than orc, thankfully. In short: not cheap, but epic. You don't eat here: you complete a quest. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
