"Cooking is passion, dedication and effort, but it is all repaid by satisfaction when the client begins to understand it…" These are the words of Mirko Rocca, chef and owner of the Rocca Restaurant of the Locanda di Bagnara, (ideal for a gourmet vacation!) who loves to welcome guests with a meal, citing Gianni Mura, that is "clever, clean, with careful combinations…".
Meat and fish, and local vegetables and produce, are offered with the same importance, in dishes inspired by tradition and revisited with the international experience of Mirko Rocca, who previously worked as a chef in London, New York, Kuala Lumpur, Capri…
The cooking is fast, the ingredients are very fresh (the menu changes every 60 days to adapt to the season), the pasta is always homemade and the wines are wisely chosen from the cellars of the Locanda. The ambiance and placement of tables are intended to provide privacy and comfort to all the gourmets who have the pleasure of dining in one of the most sought-out restaurants in Romagna, between Imola and Ravenna.
For those wishing for a romantic atmosphere, on a loggia of the top floor, there is a single table for two, adorned with the original cloud-shaped chandelier, ensuring peaceful intimacy.
