About us

Wir kamen am Abend spät in Bologna an und fanden diese urige tolle Trattoria in der Nähe unserer Unterkunft. Das Essen war fantastisch, die großartige Weinauswahl und die Kompetenz und Herzlichkeit von der lieben Gastgeberin Alessandra, waren außergewöhnlich! Wirklich ein sehr schönes, authentisches Erlebnis!!!

A fantastic little place, just far enough out of the city centre to feel secluded from the tourist crowds. The small menu is filled with great produce and takes some influence from the local area (great focaccia, mortadella on a plate to start) while featuring real Sicilian food. Service is excellent; very accommodating, friendly, with wait staff obviously passionate about the food they are serving - something that doesn't happen often. The Vegetarian lasagne was carefully made by a skilled chef, and tasted amazing. Beef tartare was simple but showcased the beef very well. Also, the best cannoli you will eat, with fresh Sicilian ricotta!

Very nice place, intimate, delicious dishes with exceptional raw materials. The service really courteous, fast and pleasant. Good quality - price, nice location near Porta Zaragoza for a nice after-lunch stroll through the narrow streets of the centre. Advise!

I know this place only for an evening attendance so I express a partial judgment as a wine shop which I would say is very valid. The wines are simply excellent, truly quality, perhaps accompanied by a platter of cold cuts and cheeses. Excellent for being in company, very nice and prepared owner, simple place but warm and very very pleasant atmosphere. There is also the possibility to have lunch. I hope I get the chance because they tell me excellent.

Su consiglio di amici siciliani, abbiamo deciso di provare la cucina de La Festuchera. Un localino al quanto diverso dal normale, non per l'arredo o altro ma per via di un corridoio luuungo lungo, non voluto "credo" ma proprio per com'è fatto strutturalmente lo storico palazzo; Carino e Caratteristico. Così come Buona e Caratteristica, è la loro cucina, davvero squisita; unica cosa, le porzioni si possono migliorare un pochino. Il personale cortese, simpatico e disponibile, ci ha coccolati da quando siamo entrati e non è sempre scontato. Prezzo sopra la media ma per la qualità è in linea con il prodotto offerto. Che dire, Consiglio 😊
