The story
Locanda Cacciatori sits in the quiet frazione of Mistadello, just outside Ponte dell'Olio, in the rolling hills of the Piacenza province. This is the heart of Emilia-Romagna, a region synonymous with deeply rooted culinary traditions, and Locanda Cacciatori honors that lineage with straightforward, Emilian home cooking. The restaurant's setting—a stone building with outdoor seating for warmer months and air conditioning inside—is unpretentious, built for locals and travelers alike who seek honest food rather than fuss.
The kitchen focuses on the robust, earthy flavors of the region: handmade pasta, slow-cooked meats, and seasonal vegetables, all prepared with a respect for ingredients that defines the best home cooking. The Michelin guide awarded this spot a Bib Gourmand, a recognition for good quality, good value cooking. It is a seal that signals you will eat well without the formality or price tag of a starred restaurant. Dishes change with the season, but the spirit remains constant—comforting, generous, and deeply Emilian.
The atmosphere is warm and familial, with a dining room that feels like an extension of a private home. Parking is available on site, making it an easy stop for a countryside lunch or dinner. For those who appreciate the quiet pleasure of a meal made with care, Locanda Cacciatori delivers exactly that.
