Antica Trattoria al Gallo 1909
About
Nestled in the heart of Ravenna’s historic San Biagio neighbourhood, Antica Trattoria al Gallo 1909 is a living icon of the Italian Liberty style. The restaurant sits in a former horse‑stable that was converted into an inn in 1909, and its marble façade, elegant furnishings, and stained‑glass panels date back to the early 1900s, creating a warm, heritage‑rich atmosphere. The fourth‑generation Turicchia family, who steered the establishment through post‑war reconstruction, continues to cook with a passion that honours both tradition and seasonal availability. The menu is a celebration of regional cuisine: handmade pastas, Adriatic sea‑blue fish, truffles, wild asparagus, game, and mushrooms from the hills of Romagna are plated with regional finesse. Guests can enjoy an intimate dining experience that feels as historic as it is delicious, with every dish prepared using techniques passed down through the family. Open Wednesday–Saturday from 12:15 pm to 3:00 pm and again from 7:15 pm to 10:00 pm, and on Sundays only before 3:00 pm, diners can escape the bustle of modern life and savor a menu steeped in history and love. The restaurant’s welcoming service, combined with its classic décor, makes it an affordable yet unforgettable dining destination in Ravenna.
