The story
In the quiet hamlet of Rastignano, just outside Bologna, Osteria Numero Sette holds a steady place among the city’s dining landscape. The address—via Andrea Costa 7—gives the restaurant its name, and the kitchen focuses squarely on the Emilian tradition.
The Michelin guide recognized Osteria Numero Sette with a Recommended rating for 2026, noting the straightforward, regionally grounded cooking. Without a lengthy menu of inventions, the restaurant lets the ingredients of Emilia-Romagna speak: rich pastas, slow-cooked meats, and the careful simplicity that defines this corner of Italy.
The setting is unpretentious. A handful of tables, both indoors with air conditioning and outside on warmer days, invite guests to settle in without ceremony. The service matches the tone—direct, knowledgeable, and efficient.
For visitors seeking a genuine taste of Bologna’s countryside without the drive into the hills, Osteria Numero Sette delivers an honest meal rooted in place and tradition.
