The story
On via Santa Caterina in Bologna, All'Osteria Bottega embodies the city’s culinary soul. At the helm is Daniele Minarelli, an oste (innkeeper) in the truest sense, whose passion for conviviality defines the experience. The restaurant’s philosophy is clear: there is no contradiction between refined cooking and a trattoria—tradition is the foundation.
The menu is an evolution of classic Emilian cuisine, built on respect for cooking techniques and seasonal products. Dishes change with the seasons, ensuring ingredients are at their peak. The salumi selection is a highlight, featuring carefully sourced cured meats like Culatello di Zibello from Podere Cadassa, a Slow Food Presidium aged 36 months in natural cellars, and prosciutto from the Mora Romagnola breed aged 48 months.
This commitment to quality and authenticity has earned the restaurant a place in the Michelin guide, a recognition that aligns with its straightforward approach: high-quality ingredients, traditional techniques, and a welcoming atmosphere. Whether you choose a mixed platter of cured meats or a seasonally-inspired pasta, the focus remains on the genuine flavors of the Emilia-Romagna region.
