Trattoria Le Marzoline

Ambiente informale, caldo e accogliente. Servizio professionale. Petto d anatra affumicato al faggio sorprendentemente buono, tagliere di affettati tipici eccezionale, gnocchi al ragù di croste di parmigiano nella media. Pera cotta al sangiovese buona.

I 'm a bit disappointed and confused about my experience here. My partner and I expected... better? If I 'm brutally honest we had no expectations at all. We had assumptions. We assumed a restaurant nestled in the Bolognese Apennines and part of a resort and spa would serve Emilia-Romagna style dishes of a certain authenticity and quality. What was served was bland, uninspired, tourist quality sauce-on-pasta that echoed the authenticity of an American style chain restaurant. Simply... it was horrible. Was the chef new? Was chef having an off day? More importantly: Was the chef experience in regional Italian cuisine? No idea, probably, and I doubt it. On the plus side: The staff were amazing, welcoming people. The wine selection was outstanding. And service was prompt.

Two adults and one nine year old child had dinner here The menu is interesting and local and we chose a wine from the hotel’s own list which was nice and value for money. The building has been expanded well and creates a lovely ambience outdoors. Unlike the hotel, the service was personable and excellent. We had the charcuterie, rabbit, lamb and white chocolate dessert the latter of which was really and interesting take on white chocolate and olive oil

Stayed at the Palazzo resort in a villa recently, with my family, for 10 days. We dined at Marzoline on the first night, wanting something casual and relaxed. Lovely setting with indoor and outdoor areas, although we were told everyone had to sit inside, a shame on a lovely summer evening. The head waitress, of Hungarian background, was amazing. Had it not been for her, the whole experience would have been a nightmare. We have lots of sympathy for young people learning the hospitality trade our 15yo daughter has been working in a restaurant for 6 months but the young girl serving us had clearly had little if any training. She couldn’t locate the wine we ordered and then had obviously never opened a bottle. She forgot what food we’d ordered (despite writing it down) and thankfully came back to check. Topped off when one of our meals was dropped on delivery.

We stayed at the palazzo di varignana resort and found this a great dinner option. they can go to the restaurant in a few minutes. the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. we had many of the dishes there, as we had eaten there 3 nights during our stay. prefers the gourmet restaurant in the hotel. Pasta dishes were great, like the lambcocks. very comfortable ambiente with beautiful and affordable wine card.
