The real romagna is about food and conviviality

In the heart of Ravenna’s old town centre, Osteria Passatelli 1962 preserves and evokes the identity and warmth of the old local osterias, where the enjoyment of traditional meat and fish dishes is combined with the pleasure of sharing them with loved ones in a quiet and informal environment.

IN EVERY CORNER OF THE OSTERIA THE ATMOSPHERE IS FILLED WITH TRADITIONAL SMELLS AND FLAVOURS AND DEFINED BY A STRONG LINK WITH A PAST RICH OF HISTORY.

Osteria Passatelli is one of those places that evoke the convivial and sicere vocation of osterias of times gone by, when sitting around the table was everyone’s favourite time to get together and turn it into an art. Here, food and drinks are an expression of the local culture and privileged means to discover, explain, and appreciate their every aspect. This is why those who love Romagna and flavours feel at home when they sit at our tables.
