A Half-Century of Reggiana Tradition

For over 50 years, Trattoria da Probo has been a steadfast guardian of Reggiana culinary tradition in Bagnolo in Piano, just outside Reggio nell'Emilia. The restaurant’s philosophy is rooted in a simple, honest approach: do what you know best, learned from grandparents and masters, and do it with passion, humility, and daily commitment. This dedication to authentic, high-quality cooking has earned Trattoria da Probo a Michelin Bib Gourmand award, recognizing its good quality, good value cuisine.

Honest Flavors on the Plate

The menu is a celebration of classic Emilian cuisine. Guests can start with prized cured meats like Prosciutto crudo di Parma aged 36 months or Culatello di Zibello, a Slow Food Presidium, all served with the region’s beloved gnocco fritto. The homemade pasta is a highlight, with options ranging from tortelli di erbette and tagliatelle al ragù to the signature cappelletti alla Probo. Hearty second courses include a cart of boiled meats and roasts, grilled lamb chops, and a beef fillet with traditional balsamic vinegar. The meal finishes with a selection of house-made desserts presented on a trolley.

A Welcoming, Down-to-Earth Setting

The trattoria offers a welcoming atmosphere suitable for both lunch and dinner, with amenities like outdoor seating, a private room, and wheelchair access. The wine list focuses on regional excellence, including local Lambrusco. The restaurant is also attentive to dietary needs, offering gluten-free preparations upon request.
