I really don't understand the (very few) critics: you come here for the great classic Emilian cuisine and this is what you get, nothing less, nothing more. Prices could be a notch lower and waiters are not the friendliest in the universe, but you won't find any compromise here when it comes to absolute top quality of ingredients and sticking... More

We have eaten here on numerous occassions and always had a wonderful experience. My wife is Italian and she introduced me to the restaurant to show off the best traditional food from the area and it does just that. This restaurant serves the traditional dishes at top quality. No messing with foams or glazes just well executed good quality food.... More

Arnaldo is an institution in Emilian cuisine since Arnaldo, the founder, served "spugnolata" and played guitar in the 70s. Now it is run by Arnaldo's 2 daughters and their families, with passion and class. The food is typical from Emilia region: cappelletti in brodo and legendary "spugnolata" are the "must" pasta dishes, then you can go on with the "boiled"... More

I am convinced that such high value cannot be given away. It is worth to position this food and wine experience in the high-quality restaurants segment and have guests pay for that. I enjoyed immensly, by all means. Tetra-Pak management, many years ago, decided to establish here their Italian plant due to the friendship with Mr. Arnaldo and the enjoyment... More

We liked a lot the food and the portions although the price is a little bit above the market. You can find excellent pasta with marvelous sauces. More

I love eating here. Last night I had superb mushroom salad with truffle oil - I didn't think that could be interesting, but it was stunning. Carpaccio of tender beef with shavings of lovely and balanced parmesan; stuffed tiny zucchini which were extraordinarily good. Everything I tried I thought was quite particularly good, and the range superb. Then, a simply... More

This was one of the best meals I have had in Italy! This is not only great food, it is an experience. They serve everything from rolling carts so obviously when you see the appetizers roll around, you MUST try a tiny bite of everything. You will be glad you did. The prosciutto is hand carved right there and done... More

This restaurant was very famous yeras ago because food was great and quality was over the top. Now things are really changed, quality is a far cry compared to the past and prices are outrageous. It's a real pity because I used to love this place in the past. More

As the years go by, our tastes change. We love food that we didn't like in the past, while we no longer like food that we used to love... perhaps this is what has happened to you. Fortunately we have still many guests who love our food and appreciate our efforts to continue serving the same quality as always, despite... More
