I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina emiliana

27/01/2026: A restaurant in the charming setting of a renovated old mill. Authentic atmosphere and plenty of customers, even during weekday lunch. Extremely friendly and competent service, and the staff promptly responds to all guest requests. Traditional cuisine, yet decidedly above average in terms of creativity and attention to ingredients: fresh pasta made with chestnut flour or burnt wheat, duck ragù, braised cheek, guinea fowl, and original desserts like pears in Barolo sauce or apple fritters. The vegetable dishes are particularly popular, with a wide selection of seasonal options—we were truly impressed by the at least five or six side dish options, when you're usually lucky to find a plate of the usual grilled vegetables. Highly recommended!

09/01/2026: Delicious food and impeccable service.

19/02/2026: Having recently moved to the area, I decided to explore the surrounding restaurants, and I can confidently say that Il Truciolo is the absolute best. Having frequented it several times, I've had the opportunity to sample most of the dishes on the menu, and there wasn't a single dish that didn't win me over. From appetizers to dessert, every ingredient is carefully selected, and every bite offers a truly pleasurable experience. The service deserves special mention: the wait staff is professional, friendly, and always smiling, putting guests at ease immediately. The owner is extremely kind and helpful, and getting to know him makes the experience even more enjoyable. The restaurant is meticulously maintained, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, perfect for feeling at home. A restaurant I've grown to love and will continue to recommend without reservation.

04/02/2026: A decidedly disappointing experience. If you're looking for a restaurant where you can feel welcomed and leave feeling full, look elsewhere. The food is of acceptable quality, but everything else is out of place. The menu, recited exclusively by word of mouth, may seem quaint for a minute, but then it becomes clear that it's simply there to avoid displaying prices that, when it comes to the bill, seem far from justified. The portions? Minimalist to the point of being symbolic: perhaps 60 grams of pasta for the first course and a mini Bolognese cutlet for the second. Ask for roast potatoes on the side, and they place two (exactly) small pieces soaked in oil next to the second course, counting them as a complete side dish. When you look at the bill, the disproportion with the dishes served becomes even more evident. You expect substance, but here it feels like you're on a strict diet... but at luxury restaurant prices. The wait times are so long, you almost have time to reconsider your choice of restaurant. In short: you eat too little, you wait too long, and you pay as if you were served by a Michelin-starred chef. Transparency is lacking. Not recommended unless you want to leave unsatisfied and disappointed that you've wasted your money.

08/03/2026: The menu is truly excellent. The dishes are refined and delicious. The dessert trolley is a huge plus. Highly recommended!

01/03/2026: Pleasant and refined atmosphere, tasty and well-crafted dishes, a rediscovery of tradition and guaranteed taste. Highly recommended! Enjoy every course.

06/02/2026: Lumira is an institution. Excellent food, a blend of innovation and tradition. A true benchmark.

05/01/2026: I go there often and I have to say that everything is very very good, the staff is always at the complete disposal of the customer and above all the tortellini, cotoletta alla petroniana, the Bensone, the Zuppa inglese are of the highest level.

08/03/2026: Ristorante Cattini is located in a hidden green area in the hamlet of l'Orologia in Quattro Castella. The interior dining room is medium-sized and very quaint. The staff is professional and friendly. The menu features a few traditional dishes at reasonable prices for the quantity/quality offered, and there's a wide selection of wines. Their strong point is the variety of boiled and roast meats from the cart, served freshly to each diner. The zuppa inglese is truly delicious. The bathrooms are clean, despite the squat toilet in the women's room, which isn't ideal for everyone. Outside, there's a small play area and a patio with some seating.

27/02/2026: A place that's one of my favorites, where time has stood still for a few years in favor of substance. The first courses are good, and the roasts and boiled meats are expertly cooked. If I ever come back to the area, I'll definitely return.

15/02/2026: Always a pleasure to come back!

07/02/2026: A welcoming location, friendly and fast service, and above all, truly exquisite dishes. Home-style cooking with a varied and appetizing menu. Reasonable prices and generous portions... What more could you ask for? Oh right... there's even a shop inside where you can purchase their dishes. This time, we stocked up on the leek tortelli. Bravo!

07/03/2026: Excellent selection of appetizers, first and second courses, but the dessert trolleys 💕💕I dare say sublime, a feast for both the eyes and the stomach 😋😋not to mention the always attentive and very kind staff. PS: The owner CESARE is hilarious.

17/02/2026: I had a great time. The place was beautiful and the food was excellent.

16/03/2026: Everything was perfect: the food, the service, the rooms...the well-stocked wine shop (owned by the same owners) just across the street is also a must-visit. It's perfect for a driving license-saving evening. See you soon!

26/01/2026: Quality and service always top notch!

09/03/2026: excellent food, kind and friendly owner and staff, nice place, fair prices

06/03/2026: The place is very nice, the dinner is really tasty with tortelli with black truffle and porcini mushrooms, excellent roast duck and finally desserts with an unusual mascarpone, more than fair price, worth trying.

18/10/2025: We celebrated my husband's 60th birthday. It was magical, because we are both passionate about Ferrari, and we ate very well. The only thing about the second courses, in terms of our tastes, was that there was not much choice (because we don't eat pigeon or eel, etc.) but the dishes were superb, the service and courtesy were excellent. We will definitely be back ♥️

18/10/2025: The food was good, the price was right. Beautiful atmosphere

15/02/2026: Very kind staff, with rare customer service. Very good food and reasonable prices. I left the restaurant with a smile.

16/01/2026: Excellent food, traditional and truly amazing quality for those who love Bolognese cuisine. Impeccable service, slightly dated but spotlessly clean.

06/02/2026: A truly wonderful welcome to Bologna 😋😋

05/02/2026: Amazing! A perfect format, a small shop with a kitchen in the heart of Bologna, perfect for young people, workers on break, and the (many) tourists; the menu revolves around traditional first courses, well-crafted and made with quality ingredients. Fresh pasta, filled or not, reigns supreme...tortellini (I Tortellini!), lasagna, tagliatelle, ravioli...all excellent and available at the counter so you can try making the dishes at home. Takeaway is also available. There are also a variety of desserts to round off your meal. The staff is young, lively, fast, polite, and knowledgeable...well done! The prices are spot on. Beware, it's very popular...expect the line outside (but it's worth it!). Thank you!

07/03/2026: HELLO, WE HAD A GREAT TIME THANK YOU SO MUCH

05/03/2026: The dishes we ordered were average and excellent, But the gnocco and tigelle were truly superb. Congratulations!

10/03/2026: Very nice place, with both indoor and outdoor seating. It's especially good for lunch, especially in spring/summer, in my opinion. It serves traditional fare, and everything is good, including the boiled meat cart. It's not cheap, but it's still worth the price for what you get. It's more suitable for special occasions than anything else.

08/03/2026: We were pleasantly surprised! A refined and welcoming location, with knowledgeable and friendly staff. The beef fillet steak was buttery and the fried mushrooms were amazing, but the finishing touch was the modern tartlet prepared at the table, which was also a touch of class. A big thank you to the owner Alessio, see you next time.

31/01/2026: Excellent food and impeccable service 🥰

17/12/2025: Michele and his mother hosted us for a company dinner on their closing day. Excellent food, perfect service. Thank you so much.
