"Without a doubt the best food we had the entire two weeks in Italy. Allow me to set the stage for you. Our group of eight while on the way to Venice on a miserable raining cold day, had the luck to take the Rioveggio exit one hour outside of Bologna. We asked a local shopkeeper and he pointed us to the direction of this restaurant. Here we are, eight Americans walk in this establishment much to the surprise of the owner and other patrons. My guess is that there are not very used to tourists judging from the long and persistence stares. We started with an assortment of local cold cuts and cheeses along with some mozzarella and pancetta. Followed by 8 pasta dishes Tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms, Garganelli with Salmon, Tortellini in a wonderful broth, Green Gnocchetti in a gorgonzola sauce, tagliatelle in meat sauce. Could not tell you which was better as there were all outstanding, yes I tasted them all. However, by far the star of the show was Tortellacci stuffed with pear and cheese, I think I died and went to heaven. The best part was the price, all of the above plus two liter of a very nice house wine and water for 115 euros. Yes, that is not a typo 115 euros. Someway, somehow will have to return."
