in bologna, italy (march’24)

before heading back to bologna from modena, we stopped by this legendary institution for another dinner and stay. a trattoria serving dishes of the region, but also due to its unique geography located in the hills, it has access to a lot of local game meat from its surroundings.

opted for their signatures throughout the menu developed throughout their opening, from the beef tartare and the parmigiano gelato on flatbread which i loved. they are also very well known for their tagiatelle bolognese, which was one of the most balanced version i’ve had, as they tend to either be too meaty for me or too tomato, this was for me of the perfect balance. the tortellini filled with parmigiano served with mora proscuitto was also nice. we also ordered the fallow deer smoked in cherry and pear wood which was unique, and the other signature of the whipped ‘amerigo’ egg which wasn’t bad but can be skipped.

ended with my favourite ricotta with grape must (sweet juices of balsamic vinegar pre-fermentation) and a milk and cream gelato with balsamic vinegar. a very solid spot, with trekking out once to sample the goods but not memorable enough for me to keep going back especially with its distance away from the main cities.
