Scopri il migliore ristorante di cucina cucina bolognesenella città Budrio della Bologna

07/09/2025: -2025- From flavors to price. After several years of considering this trattoria a go-to spot during my travels in Emilia-Romagna, and recommending lunch here to everyone, I'm forced to reconsider my opinion. Not so much because of the quality of the products, but because I fear the spirit of the trattoria has been lost. On my last visit, the place was unusually nearly empty and overcrowded with staff. We were charged €25 for an appetizer of mixed cold cuts (TWENTY-FIVE EUROS for: two slices of prosciutto crudo, two of coppa, two of mortadella, four of salami, and some fresh cracklings), a far cry from the €10 listed on the menu and paid on previous occasions (see photo). Furthermore, unlike previous visits, the menu was presented to us, accompanied by a look of both puzzlement and annoyance, only after we specifically asked for it. The most unpleasant thing was that, when I expressed my concerns about the dish costing 150% more than usual, I encountered complete disinterest: the person at the cash register passed the responsibility on to the person serving the dish and presented me with the POS without batting an eyelid or wanting to elaborate. The person serving the dish dismissed me abruptly, unwilling to listen to reason, completely unaware that his action would result in the loss of a loyal customer, just as those who are not at all interested in the customer. Personally, I believe that, for the sake of honesty and transparency, since the prices of the dishes are not clear and defined, when a surcharge is applied (especially if it is more than double the price listed on the menu), it should be communicated to the customer. It's a great shame, but we won't be setting foot in this restaurant again, and rather than recommending it as we have done so far, I'll share this latest experience with you. Below is my previous review, dated 2022. -2022- Browsing through reviews and comments, looking for a "local" place that wasn't overly commercialized, we decided to take a short detour on the way home to have lunch at this trattoria. We definitely hit the mark! The appetizer: crescentine (similar to fried gnocchi) and hand-sliced ​​cured meats from a trolley near the customer's table. You can choose from everything traditional Emilian fare (fresh and frozen pork cracklings, coppa di testa, etc.), varying the quality and quantity of the cured meats on the spot. Personally, I really enjoyed this type of service. Among the first courses, also faithful to tradition, we chose to share a portion of gramigna with sausage, on which—at the customer's request—Parmesan cheese was grated directly from the wheel, at the table. The pasta was cooked perfectly, and the sauce was creamy and flavorful. For our second course, we chose the mixed boiled meats from the boiled and roast meats trolley: a true masterpiece of flavor, accompanied by excellent presentation by the staff, who carefully described the preparation process. From the dessert trolley, we finally chose a trio of local specialties, such as rice cake and zuppa inglese. The bill was absolutely in line with our expectations. The cover charge, €2.40, may seem a bit expensive at first glance, but I think it makes up for the price of the courses (e.g., the appetizer (€10), which, while requiring dedicated service and staff, is average for a simple plate of pre-prepared cold cuts). The restaurant has ample free parking within a courtyard, and there are outdoor tables. We were completely satisfied with our experience, we definitely recommend it, and we will definitely return at the first opportunity!

02/09/2025: We had one of our best dinners in this restaurant. I was initially sceptical as I am vegan. But the food I ate there was out of the world. The riggatoni was amazing. All the veggies tasye amazing. If you are not vegan, do try Gramigna alla salsiccia. It's out of this world.
