to the heart of the people
The people from Bologna - which you can call Bolognesi - are famous for their hospitality.
Cordiality, cheerfulness and sociability are the traditional values handed down from person to person, from family to family, from one generation to another.
We carry within us the desire to communicate and the desire to make everyone feel at home.
In addition, the Bolognesi founded the first University of the Western World (1088 AD) and made the city a desirable destination, bringing people from different countries to create a cosmopolitan environment.
Everyone was welcome and, even today, tourists feel at home when they are in Bologna.
The city enters into your heart, perhaps because the Bolognesi offer their hearts.
We love transmit our traditions and we do it through food, kindness, hospitality, a smile and a cheerful atmosphere.
Welcome!
take your time, taste specialties and drink wine
The Osteria del Podestà is not only a restaurant but also a perfect place for an afternoon break, for those who are tired from wandering and for those who want to have a chat and have a snack.
A bruschetta with a glass of good wine, a slice of dessert with a cappuccino, a stuffed piada combined with a beer and more.
There is something for all tastes and for all types of snacks, from the hungry one to the greedy one.
prepared as per tradition
Our pasta is made daily by "Sfogline" in a fresh pasta workshop in Bologna. Who are the Sfogline?
There is no translation for the word "Sfoglina", which means woman who makes dough by hand. It takes its name from "sfoglia", which is what results after spreading the dough with a rolling pin until it becomes as thin as a sheet.
In truth, the Sfoglina - in the plural Sfogline - is a Master of pasta. First knead, then roll the dough with a rolling pin and finally cut the dough (and in some cases fill it) depending on the type of pasta she are preparing.
The figure of the Sfoglina is tradition.
Fresh handmade pasta is also tradition and, for us, a duty and a pleasure to be enjoyed by our customers.
