About

Located in the historic heart of Bologna, Ristorante Da Fabio offers a cozy, family‑friendly atmosphere that has delighted guests since 1974. The modest, two‑room venue sits at the corner of Via Castiglione and Via del Cestello, a street that once hosted a 14th‑century bridge over the Aposa stream. Here, traditional Bolognese fare—rich ragù, aromatic gnocchi, and artisanal cheeses—is presented with a contemporary twist, while the wine list showcases fine labels from Italian and international wineries. Guests enjoy a welcoming, relaxed dining experience that feels both intimate and authentically local, making it an ideal spot for couples, families, and food lovers alike. The restaurant opens for dinner every weekday and Saturday from 8 p.m., offering a tranquil respite from the bustling city streets.
