Trattoria Ongina In Villanova sull'arda

When the word "trattoria" regains its meaning... the real one, not the "rustic/chic trattorias" they use today. We were there today, welcomed even though it was late; that already says something, speaks of an important gesture, one that, perhaps, we take for granted... finding something to eat. And how we had lunch... culatello so good it seemed to "sing," and then the rest: homemade cannelloni, herb tortelli, all with an aroma that brings back memories. A good house Lambrusco, authentic and clean-tasting. Desserts? Everything homemade, from the semifreddo to the sbrisolona and the chiacchiere. Behind all this is the vast experience and familiarity of people who know how to "do" and are genuine, almost unfashionable for some. A wonderful experience!

The culatello is beyond excellent, the eel and catfish are fried, dry and crispy, the Sbrisolona is amazing, and the homemade nocino liqueur is just like at your aunt's house. Go there, it's fantastic!
