A little formal but never short of great examples of a cucina bolognese. Prices were a little high but the quality was excellent. Good place to visit and only a few minutes from Borgo Panigale.

As soon as you enter you jump back in the '70s ; furniture and ambiance have that feeling. The menu is interesting and the choice is average among the local specialties. Dishes are simply presented with no frills; quality of ingredients is good enough; portions are not huge. For an appetizer and a pasta dish (no wine, just water) 30€. Reservation needed.

The menu offered a good selection for a multi course meal as well as the house specials (a selection of boiled meats which was popular with the locals . The staff was very accommodating, although short staffed, with the head waiter/owner(? orchestrating the servers and plates. Excellent meal at a reasonable price. Parking a bit limited.
