Description

Named after the village’s former postman, an important and charismatic character in this small community, this former workers’ club is housed in a rustic restaurant with a beautiful porch where you sit in summer beneath cooling fans. The cuisine steps away from local tradition to offer creative yet never overly fanciful dishes which are always generous and beautifully presented. We particularly enjoyed the mezze maniche pasta with stewed white onion, sour butter and burnt lemon, as well as the leg of guinea fowl browned with paprika, its own juices and horseradish mayonnaise.

Review summary

Located in the historic Palazzo Malvezzi, Locanda Pincelli offers creative Emilian cuisine. Reviews frequently praise the high quality of fresh ingredients, sophisticated dishes, and warm, cozy atmosphere. Service is generally described as professional and welcoming, with a valid wine list. However, some guests note significant noise issues in the second dining area. Negative feedback highlights slow meal pacing, long wait times between courses, and occasional confusion regarding fusion dishes or portion sizes. Despite these operational inconsistencies and mixed views on value, the restaurant maintains a strong reputation for culinary excellence and historical charm, making it a notable destination for food enthusiasts.
