The story
Since 1967, the Buriani name has stood for thoughtful Italian cooking in the heart of Pieve di Cento, near Bologna in Emilia-Romagna. The restaurant, now run by the Buriani family, balances tradition with a modern sensibility—a philosophy that has earned it a Michelin Recommended distinction.
The menu changes with the seasons. At the time of writing, the spring menu is underway, a celebration of the freshest ingredients of the season. The kitchen is open for lunch and dinner, serving from 12:30 to 14:00 and 20:00 to 22:00, with the restaurant closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
Behind the stoves is a dedicated team, simply referred to as “I Buriani.” Their work is complemented by a carefully curated cantina, offering a selection of wines and bubbles that highlight both local Emilia-Romagna labels and broader Italian classics.
The restaurant provides a comfortable setting with air conditioning, wheelchair access, and outdoor seating for warmer months. It is a place where the focus remains squarely on the food and the pleasure of the meal.
The Michelin guide’s recommendation reflects the consistent quality and thoughtful approach that defines Buriani dal 1967. It is a destination for those seeking modern Italian cuisine rooted in the traditions of the region.
