Trattoria La Buca di Zibello In Zibello

Review of the trattoria, not the inn. The atmosphere is "vintage" in the best sense of the word, like sitting at your grandmother's house, with several rooms used as dining rooms. The welcome was pleasant, as were the staff. Overall, it was a positive experience, with the hostess being cheerful and offering advice (we had a lactose-intolerant person at our table). The appetizers were good (salami, the ever-present culatello, and giardiniera), but the portions of the latter were a bit limited. I only rated the tagliatelle among the first courses positively, as we all ordered them. Honorable mention goes to the tripe and the stewed tongue. The dessert trolley is a must-see. I'm only missing the top marks for the prices, which, while justified by the quality of the ingredients, seemed a bit high... let's say 4.5 stars.

Prices too high, small portions, decent food, 156 euros for 2 starters, 2 first courses, 2 desserts, a bottle of Franciacorta, water, coffee, it seems excessive to me, I won't be back again

We stopped for a taste of culatello... excellent, and then we tried something else, delicious, warm welcome, thank you very much

Excellent trattoria serving typical local dishes Welcoming and well-maintained restaurant Very helpful and friendly staff Prices are a bit above average

Today I finally managed to invite a couple of friends to lunch, to whom I had raved in detail about the place, the food, and the entire staff at "La Buca." I was completely satisfied. The quiet place is very well-maintained; I'd even dare to call it elegant, while still maintaining the simplicity and character of a trattoria. In the warmer months, as I've been there, you can enjoy lunch/dinner under a cool, green arbour. The staff is attentive, kind, and professional. The menu is always rich and varied, with typical dishes, cooked, in my humble opinion, exemplary, maintaining home-style tradition, and served with just the right portions. The menu obviously includes culatello, salami, cooked shoulder accompanied by their apple mostarda, and giardiniera, a feast for the palate. In short, I've put "La Buca" on my list of favorite places, and I would always recommend it for everything, to everyone.
