Osteria dei Binari

Piccola osteria a conduzione familiare, propone ricette tradizionali e rivisitate della campagna romagnola in un'atmosfera rustico-romantica d'altri tempi.

Reviewed By Aussies11 - Montelparo, Italy

We went to this restaurant after Reading a positive review in the Italian newspaper La Stampa, and it did not disappoint in any way. From when you enter you are enchanted by the ambience and decor ... a lot of care and attention to detail has been shown in displaying items such as a collection of framed vintage postcards, old railway timetables, kitchen utensils like old coffee grinders and more, all beautifully placed and apparently collected from local flea markets over a number of years. "Binari" means railway tracks which are near the restaurant. The food is excellent, innovative and well presented. Dishes we enjoyed: potato flan filling (no pastry) with gorgonzola, selection of local cheeses with honey, yoghurt and quince paste (in particular we wanted to try Scoparolo, a semi-mature which was delicious), sea-bass fillet baked in foil and risotto with small fresh water crustaceans, chocolate pudding with orange reduction. We drank the local Pignoletto white wine and dessert was accompanied by a glass of Centesimino late harvest red. Total cost 80 Euro which also included excellent bread rolls and breadsticks, crudites with olive oil, one espresso coffee and mineral water. Nicole, the waitress, was attentive and capable. All in all an enjoyable evening and definitely an address to consider for gourmands visiting the area.

Magnolia Ristorante

Prepare to have your mind blown. I had a 9-course tasting menu with a wine flight to accompany. The food is incredibly imaginative and, of course, delicious. The service is likewise outstanding. Really one of the best, immersive, impressive, and personalized culinary experiences I have ever had. Thats where those Michelin stars come from.

Earlier TA reviews directed us here. And what a superb standard of dining is offered in otherwise unpretentious surroundings. The restaurant uses the best local ingredients, which are deftly prepared by the chef in a spotless kitchen which is visible to diners. Such a small restaurant - about 24 covers - sensibly limits the menu choices, but all the options are interesting and the owner puts his expertise in wine to good effect - separate recommendations are offered by the glass for every course. On Saturday night the place was full, and service inevitably became slow, but the standard of food and wine did not fall. The following Sunday night was more relaxed, with the owner bringing out more of his speciality liqueurs for us to try! Even on a busy Saturday night the restaurant was happy to allow my wife and I to share courses - and even the wine that went with them - without any additional charge. This is a restaurant run by people with a genuine enthusiasm for good food and wine. Don't miss it.

Osteria La Mentana

Reviewed By JuliaVidani - De Pere, Wisconsin

the thing I love about Italian restaurants is that the table is yours for the evening. no being rushed to finish so the next reservation can be seated. This was an experience I didn't want to end! we shared five appetizers and each of them was fresh, original and delicious. Then we had a pasta course, again fresh and delicious. The waiter (Adrian) was attentive without being intrusive and the owner, Francesco, stopped by our table several times to make sure we were enjoying the meal. Our main course was a beautiful slow roasted pork dish with potatoes and apples. Seasoned perfectly and incredibly tender. The wine was suggested by Francesco and perfectly paired. All of this was followed by a light dessert. We spent 3 hours enjoying this fabulous meal. The setting was beautiful as well. perfect lighting and a great story, with the restaurant being placed under a scenic bridge. I would highly recommend this restaurant for a special dining experience.

Located at Pianetto this is rustic cooking at it every best - from the incredibly delicious antipasti, through piadina fritta, tortelli with wild herbs to straccetti di vitello (strips of veal) with rosehip sauce, and meat dumplings with tomatoes and peas. As it's impossible to choose let them decide for you and enjoy food of true star quality.

Excellent food and service. Came here last year too. Quite reasonable on price too, but has the look/feel of a much more expensive restaurant.Thank you so much :-)

Cinque Cucchiai Restaurant

Let your mind wander from refined, bright and warm atmosphere of our restaurant Cinque Cucchiai, in the shade of our old oak tree: you will taste the delicious fish and meat dishes created for you by our chefs, getting lost in the depths of green lawns, rose Gardens, orchards and hills at the horizon.

Reviewed By stefanopasini - Bologna

Faenza is one of the most sophisticated towns in Romagna, and its splendid 'Museo delle Ceramiche' alone would be worth a detour, if you are in the area. Until a few years ago, there wasn't a proper high-level restaurant in Faenza to celebrate the great gastronomic tradition of Romagna; now the 'Cinque Cucchiai', a name that descends from a typical dessert of the place, bears this honor. It's a very pleasant place near the 'Le Cicogne' and the Golf Club Faenza, which means that you can see the occasional stork flying by and the manicured greens of the golf club are easy on the eyes. Fish is a specialty, but we preferred to order classic 'Tagliatelle alla Bolognese' and 'Tournedos', both excellent and well prepared. The maitre and waiters were all quite nice and the place is well-lit and airy: the bill, at the end, was quite reasonable. The only criticism is that we came there on a Sunday at lunch, the place was packed (a sign of success) and therefore quite noisy, but this is only a minor glitch for a very nice place that deserves a visit anyway.

La Piada di Ale

Reviewed By Si310

What a find! We researched this place on trip advisor whilst planning our Italian motorbike trip. However when we arrived at our hotel were ecstatic when we found out it was on the same street!! The food and service is exceptional. The owner Ale was so friendly and helped us choose what to eat. We could tell he was passionate about his food and it showed! We stopped late afternoon for a snack and ended up going back just before he closed for more! We tried the classic piadina (Italian flatbread) which is a traditional local cuisine and also 2 other variations which were a kind of wrap and a Sandwich of sorts. We even had a desert which was a piadina filled with Nutella! Yummy :) the Parma ham was the best we have ever tasted and all the ingredients were lovely quality and so fresh. This place is a little Gem and a must when visiting this charming town.

Il Chiosco del Lago

Reviewed By Luca M - Wellesbourne Hastings, United Kingdom

This place is on a really small lake next to the Saline of Cervia. The piadina is home made at the moment of your order and all the ingredients are fresh and tasty.
We had Porchetta and Pecorino, Cotto and Fontina, Porcellum, Sfigorona (or something similar with pepperoni, aubergines,...) and we drank a Salina beer: a beer with the sweet Cervia salt.
Everything perfect. If you have time and they are not busy, have a chat with the staff, helpful and wishing to tell you about touristic attractions and traditions.
