About us

Locale molto carino, personale cordiale e simpatico, cibo di buona qualità

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!

Particular place that extends in length, with a very nice outdoor garden. Excellent cuisine, largely of Sicilian origin. A delight for the palate. Good choice of wines. Really nice and competent staff. Absolutely recommended.

The sympathy of Alessandra and her staff accompanied us in this pleasant evening. The place is presented in all its intimacy, with small tables, soft lights and jazz music in the background. Menu with the right number of dishes where freshness is guaranteed, and a more than satisfactory wine list. Reasonable price for consumption.

About us

Plain and cozy wine restaurant. Can’t say much about the food as I only stopped by for a wine. Wine selection by the glass not so broad. Prices ok-ish for Bologna’s standards, I suppose. Nothing super extraordinary, pleasant place to spend some time at if you happen to find your way to its spot, away from the hordes of tourists in the city.

really interesting dishes

The place serves authentic Sicilian food. From the outside it looks like a small place but when you enter it is another world, we were quite surprised. The owner and the waitress are very nice and friendly. It is a very cozy place and the food is very good. I recommend le polpette, the caponata, the salsiccia which are spicy, the burrata and the cannolo. Kid-friendliness: They have high chairs for the little ones

Beautiful, cosy wine bar where we were recommended a lovely wine by the really knowledgeable and friendly staff. The wine list is extensive but the staff will help you select if you’re not sure. Food was lovely, tapas style plates with a focus on seafood.

The place is beautiful, well-kept, the courtyard is super cute and the welcome and kindness top! Let's move on to the most important aspect: the food! We really tried quite a few dishes and they were one better than the other with a special mention to the swordfish rolls that brought me straight back home to Sicily. Excellent wine cellar. I will definitely be back soon.

The steps are too high and the cannuoli aio taste it without the outer part of the chocolate, i.e. white. The meatballs and cheeses I chose were very good. My sister is our guest friend liked the baked pasta and other appetizer they chose. Who is disabled however for those very high steps they cannot go there they should lower the steps or put a passage for the disabled.
