Antica Hostaria di Badolo

The restaurant boasts the most enviable view of the Colli Bolognesi. During the warmer months, couples and small groups compete for a prime spot to enjoy the bucolic sunset along the Via degli Dei, while in winter, the cozy atmosphere is enriched by the scent of wood, traditional utensils, and a mountain lodge ambiance.

The cuisine has always been a tribute to the region and its seasons, featuring dishes centered on mushrooms, truffles, game, and wild herbs—expressions of a genuine and hearty gastronomy. A new era has begun with the collaboration between Alex “Gigione” Soprani, a historic and authentic host, and Riccardo Molinari Pradelli, the ambitious manager of Osteria Colle Ameno and a pioneer of gourmet burgers and craft beers in the province. Chef Giacomo Galeazzi completes the team, introducing modern techniques like dripping and jus while preserving the restaurant’s rustic soul.

Locally stone-ground type 1 flour is used for homemade bread and pasta, ensuring a perfect texture to complement every sauce. The meal begins with fragrant fried crescentine and a selection of exquisite artisanal cured meats. The cold wild boar arrosino with five peppers, vermouth-infused peaches, spring onions, and lemon verbena offers a refined aromatic profile, while the rosetta goccia d’oro with salame rosa, spinach, and black truffle stands out for its delicate balance between richness and lightness.

Innovation and tradition intertwine in the creamy risotto with porcini mushrooms, blueberry gel, and robiola cheese, delivering an earthy yet vegetarian delight. The surprising wild boar porchetta with carrot BBQ sauce, flat beans, and spring onions elevates classic flavors with a contemporary twist. The grilled meats, sourced from the trusted Sernesi butcher shop, finally receive the recognition they deserve.

Desserts reinterpret beloved classics with intriguing results, from panna cotta to zuppa inglese. The wine list is constantly evolving, featuring an impressive selection of macerated wines available by the glass, unconventional liquors and spirits, and a well-curated Champagne offering at accessible prices.
