Terantiga
About
Terantiga – a culinary gem founded in 1972 – offers a blend of classic Emilian gastronomy and rustic accommodation across its two locations in Varignana and Faenza. In Varignana the restaurant features an a la carte menu and a fixed “All‑You‑Can‑Eat” osteria style menu, while the hotel above it boasts 16 refurbished rooms ranging from single to quadruple rooms, with optional half‑board or full‑board stays for extended visits. In Faenza the osteria is housed in the historic Palazzo Gessi, serving a seasonal menu in a charming open‑air setting during summer months. Guests can enjoy the warm, welcoming atmosphere, afternoon aperitifs, and classic dishes such as affettato, crescioni fritte, tortellini in brodo, and grilled cow steak. The restaurant serves lunch from 12:00 to 14:00 and dinner from 19:30 to 22:00 every day, including weekends, with a terrace open in the summer for a relaxed, al‑fresco dining experience. The hotel offers free Wi‑Fi, local wine on tap, and easy access to regional attractions like the medieval city walls of Faenza and the rolling hills between Bologna and Imola. Whether you’re after an intimate romantic dinner, a family meal featuring hearty regional specialties, or a comfortable stay in a countryside hotel, Terantiga delivers a memorable Italian hospitality experience. For travellers looking to combine culinary delights with a comfortable stay, booking a room via the Terantiga website (https://www.terantiga.com/) is recommended, though walk‑ins are also welcome to the restaurant.
