Scovami

Davide Avati embodies a passionate and meticulous devotion to the agricultural world, curating a pantry filled with Italy’s finest small-scale producers and artisanal products. Scovami, opened in 2024 following his first entrepreneurial venture in the restaurant industry, serves as a gathering place for pure, unadulterated delicacies from across the country.

With Avati—an exemplar of the modern-day host—you gain access to the full story behind each product: its origin, evolution, and character. Whether it’s a bottle from a carefully chosen natural wine selection, a raw milk cheese, or a long-aged cured meat displayed in the fresh counter, every item is handpicked with discernment and passion.

The space also offers seating, where guests can enjoy gourmet snacks or high-quality aperitifs, surrounded by rare preserves, dried pastas, and jars of specialty goods seldom found elsewhere in Bologna.

This enogastronomic universe is rooted in Avati’s family farming heritage, with vegetables from his own fields in Villanova di Castenaso featured both in the shop and on the menus of top local restaurants. His close relationship with food artisans has fostered a network that fuels special themed evenings, both at the Via Castiglione location and among the fields in summer. These events are enriched by documentaries Avati has filmed, showcasing some of Italy’s most intriguing winemakers.
