My husband and I had the pleasure of dining at La Fatica last night. Located in the old center of Bologna, this charming restaurant did not disappoint. We stared by sharing the tortellini, the tiniest little knots served in a delectable cheese sauce. I had the seared tuna which was tasty but my husband’s filet stole the show. The meat was served rare and literally melted in the mouth. The 8 ounce filet was wrapped in bacon, topped with caramelized onions and drizzled with a red wine reduced. To further indulge ourselves, we ordered a dessert that was heavenly. A delicate pastry with the lightest of creme fresh that completed the meal to perfection. If you find yourself in Bologna, treat yourself to this extraordinary experience.

Our favorite dining experience in Bologna and one of the highlights of our trip to Italy! We enjoyed the wonderful wine recommendations, warm service from Domenico, and delicious food. The tiramisu was particularly good great! It was so wonderful that we came two nights in a row, and we’re already looking forward to our next dinner at La Fatica :)

Osteria molto ben curata, atmosfera tranquilla , cameriere professionale ma comunque simpatico ed alla mano! Piatti senza troppe pretese, ma da rivedere le lasagne.
