Where tradition and modernity meet

The culinary journey offered by our osteria aims to narrate the local cuisine combined with the experimentation of the chefs.

The typical Emilian menu includes gnocco fritto, tigelle, tortellini, and homemade pasta, accompanied by a wide choice of seafood dishes such as mixed fry and grilled fresh fish with shellfish.


You can enjoy it all inside a restaurant with spacious, elegantly furnished rooms overlooking the beautiful garden, carved out of a 19th-century building where Lambrusco, the typical wine of the area, was originally produced.
