OUR STORY

Da Cesari restaurant was born as an Osteria and wine retailer at the beginning of the 20th century. Since 1955 the Cesari family, first with Ilario and then since 1962 with Paolino and his wife Irene, run this old meeting place for families living in Bologna and now also for tourists from all over the world who visit Bologna.

In the historic center of Bologna and near Piazza Maggiore, the "Da Cesari" restaurant boasts a fifty year old activity and it is one of the typical restaurants in Bologna with regional cuisine.

The restaurant provides 60 seats in the main room and 40 in the private room.
