The story
Osteria Due in Bologna returns as an updated take on an iconic upscale Italian venue. Chef Jochen Kempf leads the kitchen alongside host Francesco Delvecchio. Their approach respects established techniques while introducing contemporary plates. The Schlemmer Atlas awarded this partnership 2.5 spoons for balancing heritage with innovation.
The kitchen builds its offerings around classic foundations that transition smoothly into new Italian dishes. Chef Kempf prepares each plate with measured precision and attention to detail. Guests receive seasonal variations that shift with available market produce. This method keeps the menu dynamic while maintaining consistent quality standards.
The interior design maintains a direct visual connection to The Fontenay establishment. Structured layouts and curated materials establish a quiet backdrop for meals. Guests move through a space designed for unhurried conversation. The setting supports the culinary program without drawing attention away from the food.
