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

Trattoria da Amerigo

"Situated in the hills immediately outside Bologna, Amerigo pays tribute to the typical Italian trattoria, taking guests on a nostalgic journey back to a time that will be familiar to all Italians and not just the inhabitants of Emilia. Just a few metres from the town’s main square, the restaurant’s entrance is via its own shop selling wine, sauces and other delicacies. From here, you enter the dining room and from there two further rooms on the first floor – one which was home to the first television in the village, now decorated with period ornaments, and a second adorned with frescoes. The cuisine is typical of Emilia and the Apennines, featuring an excellent selection of cured hams and fresh regional pastas, as well as game and truffles from the surrounding hills in season. Tradition, top-quality ingredients and a feast for the eyes as well as the palate." - Michelin Inspector

Visited in late July. Felt authentic and traditional, and was an enjoyable way to sample some local dishes. Service was a tiny bit curt at times, but that could just be cultural differences. The restaurant itself is very homely and adds to the experience, as well as its setting on a cobbled street in a small village.

Best bolognese we have ever had; we shared and it had me considering my marriage for a second. The taster menu was excellent from start to finish! Land meats to sea folk! staff attentive and overall a beautiful meal experience. Worth the drive.

Not quite sure why this place got such good reviews. The food was below average. The worst meal we’ve had in the region. The only plus is the setting was cosy. We ordered the Parmesan ravioli, the truffle gnocchi, the veal cheek and the guinea fowl. The raviolis were very basic, the gnocchi tasted like it just had a basic mushroom ragu sauce, the veal cheek was bland and the guinea fowl with aubergine was awful (gamey flavor and rubbery texture). I wish restaurant reviews more accurately reflected the quality of the food, but unfortunately that seems rarer these days…

We were here for a family dinner. Generally the dinner was good but we were not impressed. Star of the evening was veal cheek, a hearty and very tasty dish. I cannot judge tortellini but tagliatelli bolognese was also very good. Some dishes made me ask why? like egg mushroom and mascarpone dish in the end. Seems interesting but tastes are subtle and doesnt make any difference. The combination is not yet there at least. My main disappointment is with the wines and service around it. I asked to have an aromatic and crisp white wine and the person showed me a bunch and any one would work 👀. When that wine came they did not to even ask if we liked it or not and ran away after pouring all at once. That is not all, for the second glass i asked to change the wine and guess what, the same person showed another 5 types that shall work again. May be they did not ubderstand or they did not care. Hope that changes. The ladies who took care of food were very attentive, polite and helpful by the way. They explained everything with care. I left here with mixed feelings.

This was disappointing. I wanted to like this place, because the workers and owners seem very nice, but the cold food, long wait time, and dismissive service was not great. We decided not to get the truffle menu because we had many truffle dishes the days prior, and it became clear that the truffle menu was the focus of the restaurant, with the other dishes taking a backseat. The wait time was very long only to get cold and poorly executed dishes. The polenta was cold, porchetta was very tough, dry and hard. The pasta was good, and the risotto was the best dish, but was watery for a risotto. Many restaurants without a Michelin star in Italy have provided far better food and service. The one redeeming quality is the prices are fair.

We come here every year since Covid and to me this is THE best restaurant in the world :) The lovely team, the very authentic food, the wine selection - it is all excellent. Please don’t ever change. It’s like having an Italian family ❤️ (yes they also have rooms if you want to stay here and the breakfast is also great, have the truffle eggs :)

We did come for the food only and it seems that a lot of others did as well. We chose different tasting menu options. Like this we were able to taste a lot of different dishes. Overall a great experience. Thank you
