Bertinoro Restaurants

Excellent. Went because of the reviews and wasn’t disappointed. Go hungry and go for an authentic experience. I think we were the only English speakers in the place the rest seemed to all be Italian.

This is a gem. For sure there are plenty of great restaurants in Bologna but La Fatica proved well worth seeking out. It’s located on a quiet back street and has a charming vibe. The food was excellent. I had Tagliatelle with mushrooms and then Contrafiletto di Vitello. The pasta was perfectly cooked and the mushrooms as good as they can be. The steak was grilled just right and came with oil and balsamico on a bed of ruccola. Yummy. The wine list had plenty of good options in the 25-30 Euro price range, I opted for a nice Refosco. Finally a note about the service. I think it was what set the place apart. Quick, attentive, professional and…should I call it personal? The best places in Italy can make you feel more like a guest than a customer. This is one of them.

We had a lovely experience, and the kindest server! Food was tasty and the drinks were very good! We would love to come back!
