Experience Authentic Italy at Osteria del Mirasole
Have you ever dreamed of the idyllic Italian experience? A hidden countryside trattoria, a deliciously indulgent meal, followed by a content night upstairs, full of great wine and food? Look no further than Osteria del Mirasole, one of the best trattorias in Italy, nestled in a charming little village north of Bologna.
Italy’s Gourmet Paradise: Emilia Romagna
The Emilia Romagna region, from where Osteria del Mirasole originates, is considered one of Italy’s foodiest. Known as the birthplace of Parmesan cheese, balsamic vinegar, and some of Italy’s most famous and delectable hams, it’s a true gourmet paradise.
A Step Back in Time: The Origin of Osteria del Mirasole
This quaint trattoria came to life in 1989, crafted from the vision of Franco Cimini, the chef and owner, whose goal was to create an inviting space with a rustic, ancient charm that resembled his home cuisine. With a stone fireplace, artworks, vintage tools, and trinkets from the past, he perfectly recreated the setting of the Osteria which existed during the Second World War.
The Secret of Franco’s Cuisine
Franco’s cuisine is distinguished by its authenticity and simplicity. His concept is that high-quality ingredients require little embellishment, just a simple exaltation. His wife, Anna, whose family farm supplies excellent quality raw materials, has contributed greatly to this perfection over the last 20 years. Riccardo, the innkeeper, skilfully completes the harmony that tradition and attention to detail bring.
Emilia Romagna: A Foodie’s Paradise
This Italian region is renowned for its food history and famous specialties. With the slow food movement’s philosophy deeply ingrained, Emilia Romagna offers mouth-watering delights like Tortellini, Lasagna Verde, and Prosciutto di Parma that have been prepared using traditional methods for centuries. These dishes symbolize an ancestral food culture that offers comfort and reassurance… like a mother’s hug.
