Located in Soragna, Locanda Stella d'Oro is noted for Emilian cuisine. Positive reviews highlight fresh ingredients, careful preparation, and a warm, romantic atmosphere with wooden decor. The owner, Marco, is frequently praised for his hospitality, creating a home-like feel. However, negative feedback points to inconsistent value, citing small portions relative to price, and service lapses such as dirty tableware or incorrect water service. While many guests appreciate the authentic food and welcoming environment, others find the cost-performance ratio unfavorable.

She swapped her pen for a ladle and now creates delicious local specialities such as braised veal cheeks, alongside dishes from Pïacenza and Mantua, such as pisarei (a type of gnocchi) and sbrisolona cake.
