Generous cuisine and unforgettable hospitality


Trattoria Della Santa

The taste of real Bologna...since 1916


Typical Bolognese specialties in the historic center

Trattoria "Della Santa" bases every recipe on the essence of Italian cuisine: freshness and simplicity.

The staff believes that even the best dishes should be served informally, with the generosity and warm welcome that has always distinguished Emilian cuisine.

This Bolognese restaurant is located in the heart of Bologna's historic center, just a short distance from Piazza Maggiore. The spacious dining room is perfect for sharing and conviviality, while dining al fresco under the characteristic porticoes offers a unique opportunity to explore local traditions.
