Casa Mazzucchelli

★ Michelin€€€Creative, Modern Cuisine

At certain times of day, the tempting aroma of freshly baked bread greets you as soon as you step into this restaurant, leaving you in no doubt as to the nature of the restaurant’s newest venture. Other dishes are also baked in the oven here, such as wild boar served with a red wine babà and sage mayonnaise. There are two tasting menus available (Attimi di cucina and Momento contemporaneo), both of which showcase traditionally influenced cuisine full of distinct flavours.

Casa Mazzucchelli in Sasso Marconi is a Michelin-starred modern creative restaurant located about half an hour from Bologna. Reviews highlight its elegant, contemporary design with spacious tables and a pleasant outdoor green area, though some note a lack of views of the surrounding hills. Food quality generally receives high praise for refined Emilian cuisine, technical balance, and standout dishes like Parmesan dumplings. However, a minority of guests reported disappointing service, rudeness, or culinary errors. Wine pairings received mixed feedback, ranging from excellent to poor. While the atmosphere is welcoming and refined, the experience varies significantly based on service execution and individual expectations regarding the Michelin standard.

Suitable for diners seeking refined modern Emilian cuisine and an elegant atmosphere, with attention to service consistency.

Bib Gourmand 1

Antica Trattoria la Grotta dal 1918

Bib Gourmand€regional

It takes a while to get here, along a road which wends its way through the hills, but the cuisine more than compensates for the journey. The food here is based on a careful choice of ingredients (including produce from the restaurant’s own farm) from as far away as the Apennines, with a few ingredients from elsewhere in Italy, with a focus on traditional recipes. Don’t miss the tortellini in brodo, or the game and truffles available in season.
