Tanta gente e un po' di caos, ma gestito abbastanza bene. Il locale è carino e curato, il personale sorridente e disponibile. Il cibo è buono, ma niente particolarmente buono. Una menzione forse la meritano i tortelli in una strana salsa rosa e tagliatelle ai funghi.

A breath taking location in the middle of the Appenine Mountains between Bologna and Modena. . An Incredible culinary experience. Traditional mountain dishes from the region highlight fixed menu; leave a little space for dessert which are all home made

My wife and and my in-laws are regular customers and that's why I am happy to share many details with new potential customers. We do rent an apartment downtown Sestola and whenever we come up here, it is a must for us to reserve a table at "LA POZZA" for a lunch.They are open for lunch and dinners during holidays or weekends given that the owners manage this agriturismo more as a hobby than a mere business and the passion they put in their work can be easily spot both in the quality of the food and the home-style attentive service.There is no menu as their offer follows the seasonal produces that can either be their own or might come from very reputable and special biological estates (local or from other Italian regions).If you decide to come here, you have to be ready for wonderful food and to manage a full belly worth of a typical Italian wedding party. However, rather than killing you with many dishes of pasta they will delight you with many small-sized appetizers so that you can taste a little bit of many different mouthwatering dishes, all rigorously homemade.Very good focaccia bread and a good selection of wines will accompany you in an awesome culinary trip ranging from veal with tuna sauce, to small salted codfish deep fried frittelle, to the tigelle typical of this geographic region, to polenta with cheese or with sausages, pasta e fagioli soup (pasta with beans), wonderful jams to be had on a hot tigella with ricotta cheese, crostata pie .... just to mention some ...This is a perfect spot for families and if your party is big enough, you can ask to have your private room if it is available.This agriturismo restaurant is located in the middle of the woods, it overlooks the beautiful surrounding hills and requires a small bit of driving. However the reward is absolutely worth it.Just a few personal advices : 1) during spring or autumn, ask for an al-fresco table ... they might be able to accomodate you2) during winter, if there is snow around, you might have to park downhill right where you see their sign and work your way up by foot since the last slope (approx 400 m) is very steep and even the most muscular 4WD might not be tough enough to take you all the way up 3) instead of a grappa, after the espresso, ask for the herb liquor made by the nuns of a local convent; it is supplied in the form of soaked sugar cubes and those are NOT for the fainthearted 4) take a look at Letizia's paintings (one of the two owners daughters) that are on display throughout the restaurant ... I find them very nice and if I am not mistaking, some of them are available for purchase.Very good place for families, if you let them know you are coming with kids, they will offer also some pizza and pasta with tomato sauce that are all time winners with the young ones.Last but not least, the bill (VISA/MC accepted) will not leave a bitter taste in your mouth

I use to go to eat twice before to upload a review just in case the first one was the wrong night but unfortunately we had no chances since after we complain we been charged with bread we didn't get (They pretend was a normal thing, even if the other tables had served, instead of say sorry and delete) they not let us get in again, so this is about the only one time we got the chance to enter.A part from the politeness that is a no way in Tuscany area (Sestola is Emilia Romagna but is the border) where I used to go for about 10 years when I was more young, and where I always found great food with 'home maid" service.Wihich is good if comes with fair price, but when you eat 2 pizza that are not the best of the best and a few drinks and then see a 53⬠bill coming with a wrong entry and, last but not least, the stuff pretending that is normal...well......if I can give you a suggestion: don't come to this place!Caro Signore , il Pane e coperto si paga in tutti i ristoranti , e viene descritto nel menù e comprende ( il tovagliato , l'uso dei servizi igienici , i grissini , gli stuzzicadenti , il servizio , anche se beve acqua in caraffa ,ecc ecc ) . Le ricordo inoltre che la seconda volta che lei ha provato a venire da noi ( perchè la pizza le era piaciuta molto ) i tavoli erano tutti prenotati. la salutiamo cordialmente .

Forget the local church - if you are into spirituality this is the place to go in Sestola.Gianni will propose to his guests the "menu degustazionne", meaning 10 or 11 different dishes + 2 desserts. Small but fair portions where nothing is left unthought. The service is just perfect and every step is a twist, every flavour is magic, every ingredient is a surprise. This was my second visit to San Rocco and the menu was new from last time. This place is pure gastronomic gold. They deserve every penny you spend there and every star Michelin will give them sooner or later.

We have stayed at the guest house and eaten at the restaurant twice. The food was very good, the service super friendly, and the prices are quite low. We enjoy it and intend to keep returning when we're in the area. The cinghiale ragu is outstanding, and if you sit in the dining area the view of the hills is lovely.

The mezza luna pasta is absolutely the best I have tried in all the Italian restaurants I have eaten around the world. It is exquisitely delicate. The wine selection is excellent; Ask Jean Paul for his recommendations. He is an outstanding host!

The restaurant is in the lovely hills above modena and during summer weekends you seriously need to book in advance. The place was really full! Despite that, the service was very quick and the food was amazing. On sundays, since it is so full, you have a fixed menu. Do you think it's a problem? we had: starters with fresh mushrooms and parmisan shaves salad, assorted crostini with all you can imagine on top. Three different "primi" including risotto with mushrooms, tortelloni ricotta and spinach, rosette with ham and cheese. Then "second" come.... the waiter will walk around with a giant tray covered with all sorts of meat, including fried chicken, roasted rabbit, roasted pork ribs, roasted pork....all served with roasted potates and friend zucchini, fried mushrooms, roasted mushrooms.... Then of course if you survive...dessert! They will bring a few different home made cakes and offer for some extra dessert also home made like crema catalana, panna cotta, tiramisu etc.. Everything comes with wine and water and at the end of the meal coffee and a selection of local liquers. Seriously: it is a MUST GO.

The ambience is nice (they even have a flat tv looping old black and white pics of the city and some local landmarks) and so was the service The "crostini misti" croûtons with mushrooms, speck, cherry tomatoes and fresh mozzarella cheese were very tastyHowever my fettuccine with local seasonal mushrooms did not cut it. The habdmade pasta was very good but the sauce was not very tasty.I also wanted to order roast beef with roasted potatoes first because both are two dishes usually underestimated while I think they can easily range from awful to great and for the roast beef while a good piece of meat is easy to find around here, the sauce in my opinion is what makes it or breaks itThe roasted potatoes were cut super small in size but very tasty while the roast beef was good meat but with no sauce at all, on a bed of lettuce (!!)I had apple crumble for dessert and that was very good

This restaurant in Castelluccio in the hills about Porretta Terme served me some of the best meals I ate in Italia. Maybe it was because Salvatore and Daniela feature the traditional Apennine-Emiliano dishes that you may not find elsewhere; or maybe it is the fact that everything they serve made with local grains, produce and meats; or maybe it is because they make you feel like you are eating in their home. Whatever, this is an eating experience you should not miss. In the five days I spent there I had wild boar (cinghiale), rabbit (coniglo), pork roast (porchetta) and several types of local salami, sausage and mortadella. The pastas were every bit as delicious: tagliatelle bolognese, tortalloni (filled with local ricotta) with butter and salvia), stascinati (you may not find this on other menus). It got to the point I could not choose from all they offered, so I told them to decide for me and they never delighted with A surprise everytime. Their dolci are unrivaled: a fig torte, chestnut torte, strawberry torte, a dark chocolate cake that was fabulous. Just when you think you are done they will bring out homemade limoncello and other traditional "digestivi". Take a detour from the tourist trail and see the Real Italia. They operate a 10 room pensione above the restaurant and the town offers a slice or Italia that few people will see; and those how do will not forget the experience. If you like hiking/trekking the chestnut and beech forests above the town provide plenty of options for excursions in the fresh mountain air where you will find cool spring sprouting out everywhere (yes it is safe to drink). In season you will find several varieties of mushrooms everywhere and chestnuts by the basket full. The rooms may not be the best you will find in Italia but you will find that most of your time will be spent in the dining area and strolling about.Beyond the food and beautiful surroundings I found that the people of Castelluccio, especially Daniela and Salvatore, to be the friendliest I met in my six weeks of travel. Don't miss this place!
