12 Trattorias to Try in Italy, From North to South
"After touring Europe’s top restaurants, Alberto Bettini returned to his family trattoria in the hills outside Bologna and applied fine-dining standards to sourcing, service, the kitchen, and communication while keeping the core—fresh housemade pasta, ragù, top meats, seasonal specialties, and a deep connection to local producers—intact. The place was awarded a Michelin star in 1998 and has retained it ever since, remaining notable as an authentic trattoria that balances rustic conviviality with meticulous craftsmanship." - Marco Bolasco
