A traditional osteria tucked into a gallery in Reggio Emilia’s historic center, with a warm, lively local feel. Homemade pasta, cured meats, gnocco fritto, and several meat dishes are the draw, though execution can vary. Try: Carbonara.
This is a colorful, modern pub near the stadium, with rotating beers and food that punches well above ordinary bar fare. Burgers, fried chicken, baked potatoes, and hearty sandwiches draw the strongest praise, while service can swing from brisk and warm to frustratingly slow. Try: Burgers.
This charming, health-minded spot combines vegetarian and vegan cooking with a lively central-square setting and a genuinely accommodating team. Food is usually flavorful and fairly priced, though execution and hospitality can occasionally wobble. Try: Buddha bowl.
This is a lively, easygoing beer hall where thoughtfully chosen beers share the stage with better-than-average burgers, sandwiches, meat and desserts. Food is usually praised, though preparation and waiting times have occasionally slipped badly. Try: mascarpone with chocolate chips.
Piedigrotta 2 is a large, lively Italian restaurant where seafood, pizza, and gluten-free choices generally shine, especially when the kitchen is running well. The room is attractive and welcoming at its best, but crowded services can become disorganized and recent diners report uneven pizza, cold dishes, and frustrating table handling. Try: gluten-free pizza.
This is a roomy, casual Italian restaurant built for pizza, families, and gatherings rather than polished atmosphere. Many diners praise the dough, variety, desserts, and friendly staff, but a troubling cluster of recent complaints describes raw or cold food, poorly executed pizzas, and possible post-meal illness. Try: Pizza.
A smart-looking, energetic bar-restaurant that works well for drinks, aperitivo and social occasions, with pizza earning the clearest food praise. The atmosphere and welcoming visits can be appealing, but recent reports repeatedly flag expensive pricing, unclear minimums or charges, and service that can turn sharply unpleasant. Try: pizza.
This is a bustling, cozy Reggio Emilia institution where groups come for pizza, regional dishes, and a convivial evening. The food has plenty of enthusiastic supporters, but recent reports describe raw or poorly cooked items, slow service, and disputed pricing. Try: Pizza.
This is a busy, distinctly Italian room with friendly service, local energy, and a flair for flambéed pasta in a Parmesan wheel. Pizza, carbonara, gramigna, and desserts earn enthusiastic praise, but the sample also includes serious complaints about portions, preparation, and fish quality. Try: flambéed Parmesan-wheel pasta.
This is a spacious, cheerful, fairly noisy pizzeria where the pizza earns plenty of enthusiasm, especially when the kitchen is on form. Recent complaints point to uneven cooking and disorganized service, with large parties particularly vulnerable to delays and cramped seating.
