Ristorante del Lago

Cuisine from Romagna, Modern Cuisine · ★ Michelin

€€€

Once off the main road, follow a series of twists and turns uphill to reach the village of Acquapartita, at an altitude of almost 800m, where you’ll find one of the best restaurants in the region. Here, the Bravaccini brothers are at the helm, with chef Simone creating dishes that are proudly focused on local ingredients such as mushrooms, trout and game. His signature dish of wild boar is delicious and full of flavour – the meat is sliced tartare-style so that it cooks quickly and is then served covered with soft mashed potatoes sprinkled with juniper. Front of house, his friendly and skilful

Da Gorini

Modern Cuisine, Cuisine from Romagna · ★ Michelin

€€€

This restaurant in San Piero in Bagno’s historic centre takes its name from its young chef Gianluca da Gorini, who prepares original and creative cuisine inspired by the traditions of this beautiful hilly region as well as his own more imaginative creations. Frequently used ingredients include mushrooms, game, freshwater fish and Mora Romagnolo suckling pig, often combined with other more exotic fare. There’s a particular emphasis on dishes cooked over the barbecue grill, which gives ingredients such as lamb, eel and pigeon a particularly pleasant texture and flavour.

Il Piastrino

Country cooking, Creative · ★ Michelin

€€€

The home of Claudia and Riccardo, Il Piastrino is the realization of a long‑nurtured dream, lovingly refined and enriched year after year amid the rolling hills of Montefeltro. Here, the warmth and simplicity of the countryside blend harmoniously with contemporary details and furnishings. At the heart of it all is chef Agostini’s cuisine which, supported by technical mastery and creativity, brings out the best in seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. His complex and carefully constructed dishes never feel contrived, but instead convey his vision with balance and flavour, occasionally extendin

Da Marchesi

Country cooking, Regional Cuisine · Bib

€

In a hamlet of Novafeltria, lthe road that winds upward through the Apennines between Romagna and the Marche is home to this modest gem, where the Romagnan tradition is savoured in all its simplicity and goodness: handmade sfoglia for the pasta, main courses featuring local meats, and daily specials that follow the seasons. Not to be missed are the fried porcini mushrooms and the tortelloni of green pasta filled with ricotta and spinach, dressed with butter and truffle.

Magnolia

Creative, Modern Cuisine · ★★ Michelin

€€€€

Situated in the elegant Relais Villa Margherita, an 18C villa converted into a stylish residence with just six guestrooms, verdant grounds and a swimming pool, Magnolia occupies a contemporary, veranda-style dining room with large picture windows boasting sweeping views of the Romagna hills as far as the mountainous “peak” of San Marino. Here, skilful chef Alberto Faccani serves a clever combination of the classic favourites that have marked his career, alongside other more unusual dishes that demonstrate a tireless search for experimentation. His contemporary style is elegant and balanced, as

Il Cedro

Tuscan · Bib

€

At the entrance of the village of Moggiona, along the road connecting Camaldoli to Poppi, Il Cedro welcomes you with homely aromas and genuine flavors. Mariangela and Cristina – one in the dining room, the other in the kitchen – share the Tuscan tradition with enthusiasm and warmth, offering rustic dishes, sincere smiles, and a family-like atmosphere.

La Campanara

Regional Cuisine · Bib

€€

In a charming hamlet just outside Galeata, the entrance opens onto a small, pretty courtyard that in summer leads to outdoor tables beside the church, shaded by trees and facing the hills: a truly idyllic setting. The cuisine is rooted in the local territory, which here means not only Romagna but also echoes of the neighboring Marche and, above all, Tuscany – as in a memorable lampredotto with porcini mushrooms, tasted on our most recent late‑summer visit. In the adjoining shop, guests can purchase products prepared in the restaurant’s own workshop, while a few guest rooms are also available.

Da Alighiero

Tuscan · Bib

€

Nestled amid the cobbled streets of Anghiari, one of Italy’s most beautiful villages, this rustic-style restaurant is hidden behind a wooden door with glass panes and curtains. With its brick-vaulted ceiling, old cupboards, art on the walls and bottles everywhere, Da Alighiero has a warm, authentic ambience. The cuisine celebrates Tuscany’s classic favourites (don’t miss the tripe served in a spicy red sauce), while enthusiastic host Gianni is on hand with recommendations for the perfect wine.
