Pasta rolled by hand, every single morning.

A family trattoria in the heart of Bologna since 1987. Fresh egg pasta, wood-fired pizza, and Nonna Lucia's ragù — slow-cooked for seven hours, just like always.

👵 La Nostra Storia

Three generations, one rolling pin

Lucia opened her trattoria with six tables and a single wooden board for rolling sfoglia. Today her grandson Marco runs the kitchen — and that same board is still in use every morning at 6 a.m.

We cook what the season gives us, buy from people we know by name, and believe a long lunch is one of life's essential pleasures.

Frequently asked

Do you have gluten-free options?

Yes — we make gluten-free fresh pasta daily in a separate area, and our risottos and most secondi are naturally gluten-free. Just mention it in your booking notes.

Can I bring my own wine?

You're welcome to — corkage is €15 per bottle. That said, our sommelier Chiara would love to suggest something from our 140-label cellar.

Do you host private events?

Our upstairs "Sala Lucia" seats up to 28 guests and is perfect for birthdays, rehearsal dinners and company lunches. Call or email us for set menus.

Is there parking nearby?

We're in the limited traffic zone (ZTL). The nearest garage is Parcheggio Riva Reno, a 6-minute walk away. Bus lines 11 and 13 stop right around the corner.
