Il sellaio
About
Pizzeria Il Sellaio, located in the heart of Bologna on Via S. Donato 31, has been a local favorite since 1985. The family‑run establishment is famed for its authentic wood‑fired pizzas made with high‑quality ingredients such as buffalo mozzarella, quattro formaggi, prosciutto, and seasonal vegetables. Inside, the rustic country‑style décor invites guests to relax by the warm hearth, while the spacious garden terrace opens in the summer for alfresco dining. With a relaxed lunch menu from 12:00 to 14:30 and dinner service from 19:00 to midnight, Il Sellaio offers an unpretentious yet delicious taste of Bologna’s traditional pizzeria culture.
