I migliori ristoranti in Emilia-romagna

12/11/2025: We recently had dinner at EXÉ Restaurant in Maranello, which is located inside the Executive Spa Hotel just a few minutes from the Ferrari Museum. It’s a stylish, modern space with sleek lines, soft lighting, and an atmosphere that clearly reflects the local Ferrari prestige — elegant, polished, and designed for a high-end dining experience. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance felt refined yet calm, with enough space between tables to feel comfortable and private, even with a stroller next to us. The service was excellent. We were welcomed by a Spanish waiter who spoke perfect Italian and was both kind and professional throughout the evening. He immediately noticed that we were dining with a baby and helped us rearrange the seating to make space for the stroller, which was such a thoughtful gesture. Throughout the meal he checked discreetly that everything was fine, making sure we felt relaxed. It’s rare to find such a genuine and attentive attitude in fine-dining restaurants, and it made a big difference. We started with pasta, which was good — well-cooked, nicely seasoned, and attractively presented. However, it felt a bit overpriced for what it was. For the main course, we ordered the Bistecca Fiorentina, which we had really been looking forward to. Unfortunately, this was the low point of the evening. The portion was generous, but the flavor just didn’t live up to expectations, especially considering the price of over €100. We’ve had better, more flavorful versions in simpler trattorias in the region. The wine was very good — smooth, elegant, and clearly well-selected — but with a substantial markup that reminded us of the luxury positioning of the restaurant. Dining here with a baby was perfectly manageable. The space is airy and quiet enough that we never felt in the way, and the staff handled the situation with complete naturalness — no awkward looks, no rush, just calm professionalism. For parents traveling through the area, that sense of ease is priceless. Overall, we’d give EXÉ Restaurant four stars. It’s one of the most luxurious dining options in the Maranello area, and the service truly stands out. However, you do need to be prepared to pay what I’d call the “Ferrari premium” — you’re paying as much for the setting and reputation as for the food itself. Worth visiting for the experience, especially if you value great service and elegant surroundings, but the dishes don’t quite justify the high prices. Would we return? Possibly, for a special occasion — the atmosphere and staff make it a pleasant choice, even with a baby — but next time we’d skip the Fiorentina and explore other options on the menu.

26/10/2025: Wonderful! Definitely one of the best fine dining experiences. Impeccable service. Especially sommelier Andrea, who, with a few simple tips, managed to surprise us with a wonderful bottle of wine that exceeded our wildest expectations. Thank you all so much, fantastic place and top-notch food.

15/09/2025: The place is very pleasant, the staff very friendly and the food excellent.

15/09/2025: Nice place, food average for Bolognese restaurants.

26/11/2025: Family lunch, both first and second courses were good

26/11/2025: This is my second visit, and I'm delighted to say the meat is among the best I've ever eaten in Bologna and the surrounding area. The first courses are also tasty, the service is friendly, and the atmosphere is pleasant. The price is absolutely fair.

01/11/2025: Pizza below my expectations, weak dough and really too thin almost non-existent and products of average quality the only thing I recommend is the kindness of the staff

20/09/2025: Last night, September 19th, we ordered three pizzas through Just It from a vacation rental: a Margherita, a prosciutto, and a Calabrian olive pizza. However, I had to contact the pizzeria twice (for Just It orders) and spoke to two people: a boy and a girl; both were polite, kind, and very friendly. All three pizzas were very good, and not to mention the pizza delivery man, who was extremely friendly and helpful. They truly deserved three full stars! Excellent experience for three ladies from Trieste 😊

11/11/2025: I visited this trattoria three years ago. I returned today on a delightful evening with my girlfriend and my two brothers-in-law. It was particularly pleasant to once again savor authentic Parma cuisine, something that's rare to find in the city center these days. From the heavenly cured meats to the snails, pork, and wild boar, the dishes were truly bold and powerful, just like the service. We chose a Trentino Pinot Noir as a wine pairing, which perfectly complemented the dishes. The desserts were superb. Truly exquisite. We'll definitely be back. Thank you.

07/11/2025: Excellent food, excellent carpaccio with truffle and savarin. It's an old-fashioned inn, but it's really tidy and clean, and the staff are really nice and kind. Don't worry 🙂

12/11/2025: The best. It's as simple as that. An explosion in the mouth.

12/11/2025: It's okay, but nothing special. Caprese is a bit pricey at 10 euros.

16/11/2025: It's been 10 years since I've eaten here, and honestly, it was a wonderful evening. The burgers are good, the price is fair, and the staff is all very friendly. The guy who served us was always very attentive, keeping an eye on all the tables, and was always very kind and helpful. The owner stopped to chat with us, and even though my son had made a bit of a mess on the floor, he told us not to worry when we tried to clean up. I had fond memories of this place, and tonight they even improved it.

08/11/2025: You can't go wrong with American Graffiti. Between the friendly service and delicious food, it's sure to be a great lunch or dinner. 100% RECOMMENDED 👍🏼

03/11/2025: Respect for the owner. True ultras.

26/10/2025: Excellent beers, with a good rotation (there's always something new to discover). For aperitivo, they offer a tray with samples of focaccia, bruschetta, dips, olives, and chips. A good variety of (unconventional) sandwiches and stuffed focaccias. They charge separately and you can pay by credit or debit card (it may seem trivial, but it's not like that in Parma). A downside: sometimes there are a few too many children running around and playing in the place.

17/11/2025: We went to this place for the first time with some friends. It was quite welcoming and the staff were very friendly. The food was excellent. We had a lovely evening. We tried the salads and the combo of a sandwich, fries, and a drink. The staff were very friendly. I recommend it.

15/11/2025: Nice place, you eat well, a lot and you enjoy good music

11/10/2025: We tried both piadinas and cassoni. Truly delicious! Both the dough and the ingredients! Definitely recommended!

26/09/2025: I had an excellent and perfectly cooked piadina, the staff were very kind, the atmosphere was a bit distressed but only because the large construction site for the square's renovation loomed next to the tables, it's not the restaurant's fault obviously, it's an experience to be noted

03/11/2025: Traditional Emilian restaurant. Excellent dishes. Applause for the billiards trolley

01/11/2025: A fantastic place with traditional regional cuisine. Time seems to have stood still here, and that's a good thing. Simple, homemade dishes using traditional recipes. A symphony of flavors! The waitstaff is delightful. The main course is served in an attractive way, from a table on wheels that the waiter rolls into the room and drives to the guests. The same goes for the desserts. Excellent! I recommend it!

28/09/2025: Cannot rave about this place enough. This is such a great place. The food is on point, the flavors are rich. I would say the best place we have gone in Bologna. Was kind of a last minute place, but so Good. I highly recommend!!

16/09/2025: Its a big restaurant, the food is ok. Staff is nice. The inside is very noisy but the have a lovely opened roof terrace. Is not expensive and since is off the beaten path is touristy.

01/11/2025: Flawless food. Excellent service.

28/07/2025: Excellent restaurant, intimate yet convivial, with good food and very fair prices. Recommended for Parma dishes.

21/09/2025: Delicious ice cream at affordable prices. The salesman was very nice.

01/09/2025: The ice cream wasn't very creamy. The pistachio and hazelnut flavors weren't as tasty as other ice cream shops. What a shame! Last but not least, I even got a stomachache a few hours later...

09/11/2025: I happened to be there just before closing time and ate some stewed sausages with mushrooms, not bad.

25/10/2025: The set lunch menu is good and offers a variety of options. The staff is very quick and attentive to requests.
