About us

This evening I tasted 2 of the many dishes offered by this place. Prawns and parmesan!! I have to say both are very good!! The parmesan is just screaming!! Nice and accurate service. I asked for a wine pairing based on the food ordered and the proposal was excellent. Definitely coming back very soon!!

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.

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.

Nice and cozy place. Courteous and competent staff. Tasty and original dishes that express a refined ability to innovate, without overdoing it, through the wise and balanced reinterpretation of traditional Sicilian cuisine. Good choice of wines

I had already been there once and, as then, I found myself very well. Delightful environment. You eat well without spending too much and the atmosphere is very warm with welcoming staff.

Locale molto bello, intimo, piatti buonissimi con materie prime eccezionali. Il servizio veramente cortese, veloce e piacevole. Qualità - prezzo buona, bella posizione vicino porta Saragozza per una bella passeggiata post pranzo tra le viuzze del centro. Consiglio!

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!

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.

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.
