I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina emiliana in Emilia-romagna

02/03/2026: I ate there on a Friday evening for a birthday and was thrilled. I'd never been there before, and I must say it was a wonderful surprise. The food and wine were excellent, and I'll definitely be back soon.

30/01/2026: We stopped at this restaurant on our way back from our mountain vacation. We found exemplary hospitality and excellent quality food and wines. I highly recommend it!

09/02/2026: We took advantage of the 50th birthday promotion for two, which included dinner and accommodations. The location is beautiful, charming, and peaceful. Unfortunately, it was foggy, but the atmosphere was still very charming. Before dinner, we visited the culatello aging cellars, where the entire process was explained to us. Dinner included an aperitif, four courses, dessert, and a petite pâtisserie. The package included wine pairings, featuring local wines of their own production. The service was impeccable, as you'd expect from a Michelin-starred restaurant. The menu was fantastic, as the photos show. We stayed in the "Emilia" room, a spacious and welcoming room with high ceilings and exposed beams, decorated in a milk/cow theme.

25/01/2026: We stayed for two nights in this fantastic historic residence! Hotel: beautiful, authentic. The historic common areas are breathtaking. It feels like being in another era. The room is comfortable, spacious, and full of amenities. The bed and the room temperature were perfect. From our viewpoint, we could see the peacock house, and we loved it. Restaurant: we tried both... the ancient Pallavicina courtyard has a fantastic menu, and every dish was rich in flavor and history (we tried the 15th anniversary menu). The dining room is beautiful, and the tableware is rare to find. Perhaps the only downside is the service... extremely slow, but I think there was a mix-up because we waited an hour between the arrival and the first course. There are many young people practicing, so you have to be patient because overall, it's a great experience. The Culatello Museum and the cellar with the culatellos maturing are the icing on the cake! A very positive experience, a very high-level, elegant restaurant (and with deep roots, without improvisation). The Hosteria del maiale, on the other hand, offers excellent local dishes and a small shop. Spending two days in this establishment allows you to better understand this rugged yet enchanting area and the history of this family over the years. Come without hesitation.

18/01/2026: Excellent trattoria in the town center. Precise and courteous service Typical Emilian cuisine Excellent value for money

15/01/2026: The culatello and tortelli are amazing... the main courses are varied and the desserts are delicious... I never get there. When I'm in the area, it's my favorite place...

08/03/2026: We dined and slept in this historic hotel. The kitchen serves traditional Emilian dishes, very good and authentic, and their Lambrusco wine is also delicious! The waiters are very kind and professional, although there were some imperfections in the dishes: we all ordered two courses, but we weren't able to eat together due to the lack of coordination between appetizers, first courses, and second courses. The rooms are very basic; those on the top floor are quite noisy due to a nightclub next door.

08/03/2026: Charming place, friendly and courteous staff, extraordinary food. The Arnaldo menu is truly fantastic, and the value is more than excellent. An experience worth repeating.

13/03/2026: We had dinner for two...everything was perfect and very well prepared. The desserts are truly excellent!

05/03/2026: Quick but tasty business lunch with excellent service. 100% OK.

16/02/2026: I tried calling you when you were closed to make a reservation, since when you were open you told me you were working. And then... you were supposed to call me back to see if there was room, but I didn't hear from anyone. Thanks.

16/02/2026: Excellent traditional cuisine, excellent greetings, and especially the pumpkin and truffle tortelli. We've been back several times now, and every time it's always spectacular. ‼️

07/03/2026: Negative: They don't accept dogs/animals, even small ones. They offer zero flexibility for holding a Maltese. This should be highlighted on the various websites. We booked a week in advance for a party, but at 1:45 PM they didn't accept us.

05/03/2026: Authentic Reggio Emilia cuisine, served with equally authentic Reggio Emilia friendliness.

03/03/2026: Accessibility 3/5: The parking lot isn't very large, and is mostly a dirt lot. There are no handicapped ramps or reserved parking spaces. Ambience 3/5: The interior is also nice, welcoming, and has lots of exposed wood (which I find pleasant). I dropped from 4/5 to 3/5 because the bathrooms are terrible: old, dirty, poorly lit, with peeling doors. Menu 4/5: Good selection, mostly typical and traditional dishes. I would have appreciated a slightly wider selection of drinks and wines. Quality 5/5: The place's strong point. The dishes are truly high-quality; being "simple," you can taste the quality of the ingredients. They're certainly not diet-friendly, but that's to be expected with tasty dishes 😆 Service/Staff 4/5: Nothing to complain about; the staff are helpful and friendly. Price 4/5: This is the price you'd expect for this type of food and this type of quality. It's not cheap, but then again, quality isn't free.

23/02/2026: Everything was excellent, even though the place was very full, the guys were on point with the service and perfect timing, the cured meats, gnocchi and first courses were really special, good prices, I will definitely be back

09/03/2026: I chose this osteria to celebrate my birthday. We went on a Sunday for lunch. Expectations were high, but they were met. We all ate very well. The only dish I wasn't thrilled with was the tortelloni with pears, perhaps partly due to personal taste; everything else was good. The service was good, not perfect, but I can understand that given the number of people they had to serve. They started quickly with the entrees, then slowed down a bit. The bill seemed reasonable; they also offered us grappa and a kind of alcoholic coffee sorbet, which we really appreciated. I liked the location.

08/03/2026: Excellent restaurant in Sasso Marconi, where you can spend a pleasant evening. Excellent cuisine (porcini mushrooms, truffles, and much more) with very friendly staff and owners. Recommended.

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.

18/02/2026: Family-friendly restaurant, good food and friendly staff

04/01/2026: Spectacular atmosphere in the Parma lowlands. The food is excellent. I often come here to pick up something from the shop. Any recommendations? Everything is good.

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.
