Trattoria Marianaza In Faenza

We arrived in Faenza and, searching for "typical Faenza food," Marianaza was the first place we found... and I must say, it was an excellent choice! We were truly delighted. We started with a cured meats appetizer with piadina, then we also had a piadina with squacquerone cheese and arugula (super good and simple, just how I like it). I chose the grilled vegetables, while he chose the mutton rib: both were excellent, well-cooked and flavorful. To finish, we shared a cocoa cake with their homemade jam, truly delicious. Recommended if you want to eat traditional food and leave satisfied!

Each dish clearly speaks of Romagna and Faenza, without forced reinterpretations or unnecessary modernisms. Here, you eat as you've always eaten, and that's precisely its strength. The desserts round out the experience perfectly: delicious, intense, and made to perfection. No gimmicks, just substance. In short, Marianaza Tradizionale is a true culinary immersion in Faenza's tradition. An authentic, sincere place, where you'll gladly return because you know what you'll find. And you know it's going to be good.

The typical Romagna osteria you'd expect, with its ambiance, food, and good selection of local wines.

Very nice place, excellent service, traditional food. Excellent and plentiful.

Everything is ok but 60 euros for an appetizer, asto and sliced ​​steak seems scandalous to me

Small but welcoming atmosphere, truly quality dishes! If you want to eat good meat, go there! ♥️🥩

The food was excellent, we hadn't eaten so well in years! The staff were very friendly, but the place wasn't very heated.

I was there on my own but felt very comfortable being there. The food, service and atmosphere is great. Cooking is done on a wood fire.

The place is special, the food is divine. It feels like stepping back in time; perhaps some of the dining room details could be recreated without detracting from the restaurant's charm. The open fireplace where the meat is cooked is the highlight that makes this trattoria unmissable. I think I've eaten the best mutton in history at this restaurant, although it would have been enough to just stop at the appetizer, which was plentiful and of high quality.

A truly historic osteria, simple and tidy without being a swanky place. The fireplace for grilling is fabulous. Fast and friendly service.
