Why go
About Trattoria dal Biassanot
The name Biassanot is a local dialect word meaning night chewer, and a black cat sits under the sign at the entrance. Inside, the walls carry objects and the lyrics of a Dino Sarti song. There are three rustic rooms with terracotta floors and dark wooden ceilings. Guests include locals and many visitors who first came during Bologna's trade fairs and now book from abroad.
The kitchen follows Bolognese tradition. Lasagne, tortellini, tortelloni and tagliatelle are made by hand and rolled with a rolling pin. Meat comes from the grill and charcoal, including Florentine steaks and fillets, with vegetable sides alongside. Desserts and ice cream are made in house, and the cellar leans towards regional wines. In summer you can also sit on the terrace.
Signature dishes
What to order at Trattoria dal Biassanot
Dishes from the official menu.
Cotoletta alla bolognese
Bolognese cutlet
A meat cutlet Bolognese style, finished with melted cheese, raw ham and Parmigiano. The menu lists it on the bone. It is a hearty local main course, a good pick if you want something substantial.
Zuppa Inglese
Zuppa inglese
A homemade spoon dessert, the classic zuppa inglese. The trattoria makes all its spoon desserts in house, so it is a natural way to end a meal of traditional Bolognese dishes after pasta and meat.
Bollito con purè
Boiled meats with mashed potatoes
Boiled meats served with mashed potatoes, a traditional dish of the Bolognese table. It appears among the house highlights on the home page, and suits a cold day when you want something comforting.
