Osteria Becco Di Legno — Restaurant in Bologna

This is a week late my apologies… so me and my boyfriend were staying local and decided to go to a local restaurant before our flight the next day and the people there were so friendly, so welcoming and really made us feel comfortable. So we had the antipasto as starter, then both the special pasta dishes that weren’t on the menu, mine was black tortellini filled with cheese and rosemary, my boyfriend had the tagliatelle ragu with porcini mushrooms and they smelled divine and tasted superb. I loved my boyfriend’s dish so much that I’ve bought myself porcini mushrooms at home in the UK! We both had the bolognese cutlet (pork cutlet topped with Parmesan and Prosciutto) and for a boyfriend who thinks peas are ‘green earth circles’ and despises them at all costs, we ate everything. We wish we trained ourselves into how Italians love to dine because I regret not having space for dessert. Beautiful place with beautiful people, everything I love about Italy,...

Verso le 22:30 è uscito dalla cucina il cuoco, un savio signorotto, probabilmente già in pensione; noi abbiamo dedotto che la magia e la bontà dei piatti che stavamo degustando fosse tutto merito suo, della passione e dell'esperienza che quell'uomo emanava. Finita la cena abbiamo avuto il piacere di scambiare 4 chiacchiere con la cameriera, che finito il turno è uscita per fumare una sigaretta, con la quale abbiamo potuto intrattenere un paio di piacevoli discorsi.

Abbiamo cenato ieri sera in quattro amici, il locale lo abbiamo trovato per caso. Abbiamo passato una magica serata. Se anche voi agli asettici ristoranti scicchettini preferite questi portali di vita, l'Osteria Becco Di Legno vi...
