The story
Da Gorini describes itself as a house – one that embraces a corner of Romagna far larger than its physical walls can contain. This sense of place and hospitality is the foundation of everything here. The restaurant sits in San Piero in Bagno, a small town in the Tuscan-Romagnolo Apennines, and its modern Italian cuisine is deeply rooted in the landscape and traditions of the region.
“Da Gorini is a cosy home where guests can be carried away by the flow of time and fully enjoy the pleasures of our table,” the team writes. The atmosphere is intimate and welcoming, designed to let the food and the company take centre stage. The restaurant’s recognition with a Michelin star speaks to the consistency and precision of its cooking, but the warmth of the welcome remains the first impression.
The tasting menus are built for the entire table, encouraging a shared journey. A menu called “La vostra mano libera” (Your free hand) invites guests to compose their own path through the kitchen’s creations. The cooking is modern Italian in style, drawing on the flavours of Romagna while expressing them with contemporary technique. No two visits need be the same – the kitchen adapts to the season and the diner’s preferences. The result is a meal that feels both personal and deeply connected to the land.

High quality cooking
DaGorini is a place where you immediately feel at ease: a warm, thoughtfully styled yet informal atmosphere, and a cuisine that tells the story of Romagna with character. Gorini works with carefully selected local ingredients and transforms them into intense dishes, often built around acidity and bitter notes. The game dishes truly evoke the forest, and the hare is one of those plates that leave a lasting impression; the mushroom and tobacco broth risotto surprises with its lightness, balance, and aromatic clarity. The menu offerings are also noteworthy: a 7-course tasting menu for €98, a 9-course for €140, and a convenient choose-your-own 5-course option for €80, ideal for picking your own dishes from the à la carte list. Carefully crafted glass wine pairings are available, along with an unusually thoughtful selection of non-alcoholic options. The service is friendly, never stiff or scripted, capable of making guests feel at ease without sacrificing professionalism, while the wine list features many interesting bottles without exorbitant prices. In short, one of Italy’s finest tables in its price range, a destination worth the detour.
