About

Da Cesari is a celebrated Bolognese restaurant that has been delighting locals and visitors since the beginning of the 20th century. Located in the historic city centre just steps from Piazza Maggiore, it offers a warm, family‑friendly atmosphere complemented by a carefully curated wine list featuring regional whites, reds, and champagnes. The menu showcases classic Emilia‑Romagna dishes such as tagliatelle al ragù, mortadella, and an assortment of seasonal starters, pâtés and desserts. Whether you choose the spacious main dining room, the intimate private room, or the cellar‑stained corner to sample a glass, the experience feels like a genuine culinary tour of the region. A typical visit lasts about two hours, allowing guests to savor the full range of dishes without feeling rushed.
