“Perduto è tutto il tempo
che in amar non si spende.”
The Restaurant
A place of welcome, from the Renaissance to the present day
Forse, se tu gustassi anco una volta
la millesima parte de le gioie
che gusta un cor amato riamando,
diresti, ripentita, sospirando:
perduto è tutto il tempo
che in amar non si spende.
— Torquato Tasso, Aminta, Atto I, Scena I
Towards the end of the sixteenth century, poet Torquato Tasso was a guest at Palazzo de’ Rossi. Here he was welcome by people well-versed in the art of convivium, fine dining and the pleasure of being together.
Today, in the same spirit, the Restaurant of Palazzo de’ Rossi welcomes its guests amid the peace of nature and the ancient walls of the Borgo in which it is nestled.
Just as the heart savours the joys of love, at the Restaurant of Palazzo de’ Rossi every dish served and every glass poured is intended to reawaken the pleasure of living. Between memories of the past and the scents of the season, our cuisine is a ritual that renews itself through innovation, to make the guests feel cherished.
The Menu
Tradition and fusion, told at the table
The Restaurant of Palazzo de’ Rossi stands in a place steeped in history. Popes, poets and noblemen have passed through here, but so too have merchants and farmers. Here, the refined cuisine of the nobility intertwined with the simple fare of everyday people.
Our menu draws inspiration from these encounters, because food is culture and pleasure, but also connection and storytelling. Today, we transform a long history into flavour, through local, traditional cooking that uses ingredients from the surrounding area and celebrates classic Emilian recipes.
At the same time, we also bring contemporary proposals to the table, open to creative reinterpretations and innovative twists. Because the love for flavour knows no boundaries.
Our Wine Cellar
At the Palazzo, wine is a matter of etiquette
Our wine selection reflects the philosophy that guides the kitchen: authenticity, love of the local area, curiosity. Our wine list features small gems from Emilia-Romagna alongside labels that will transport you to other destinations. Because Palazzo de’ Rossi has always been a place of passage and welcome, capable to give as well as to receive inspiration.
A wine can help us rediscover our origins, or lead us towards distant lands. But the invitation is always the same: pause, share, and rediscover the pleasure of time spent together.
Apéritif
An appointment with enjoyment
A fine glass of wine, classic or creative cocktails, a selection of local products to share in good company. The secret of the perfect apéritif is simple. Add the setting of the Borgo, and this moment becomes unique.
Whether before dinner, after a stroll or as an occasion to come together, the apéritif at the Restaurant of Palazzo de’ Rossi is an experience that unites the authentic taste of the territory, the relaxed rhythm of the countryside and the composed elegance of the venue.

L’arte di riscrivere i sapori
Nel cuore del Palazzo de’ Rossi interpreta il suo approdo in terra bolognese: un incontro di radici lontane e nuove ispirazioni. Con gusto custodisce memoria e immaginazione, crea piatti che parlano una lingua unica, fatta di sfumature inaspettate e accenti sorprendenti.
I classici si trasformano in racconti che sanno stupire e incantare, cuciti con il filo della sua visione personale.
