The best restaurants in Imola.
E Parlamitè restaurant–tavern was founded in 1985, in the environments of an old inn dating back to the nineteenth century, formerly frequented by anarchists and socialists, particularly by Andrea Costa from Imola, founder of the Italian Socialist Party and the first socialist deputy at the royal parliament.
The Dal Monte family transforms the tavern into a restaurant thanks to his son Massimo, who is attending the hotel school and is training at the San Domenico restaurant in Imola.
The restaurant was renovated in 1997, bringing to light the old wooden beams and furnishing it with furniture from the beginning of the twentieth century of an old grocery in Imola. Currently, it is popular with families, professionals, young people and local politicians, then, the discussions about politics that have given the name to the venue continue.
On March 7, 1970, Gianluigi Morini opened Ristorante San Domenico in Imola, introducing for the first time in the history of the Italian restaurant industry the idea of «home cooking» that had always fascinated him during his long years of research. Up to this moment, this type of cooking was the exclusive patrimony of very few rich Italian families, who had professional chefs responsible for their kitchens.
Transferring such an idea to a restaurant was not an easy feat. Morini, following Luigi Veronelli's suggestion, turned to the greatest of just such professional chefs, Nino Bergese, «the chef of kings». Along with Morini, Bergese organized the kitchen staff and hired the very young Valentino Marcattilii as his assistant. The two worked side by side for 7 years.
During this period Valentino also perfected his skills with numerous apprenticeships in some of the most renowned restaurants of France.
Upon Bergese's passing in 1977, Valentino assumed direction of the San Domenico kitchens and began his dazzling career that has made his art famous in every country of the world.
Since 1984, fantastic years of taste and passion at Osteria del Vicolo Nuovo, and not to feel them. The rooms are full of charm, made from an ancient palace dating back to the seventeenth–century, a former Jesuit school, are assigned to the overwhelming laughter of Ambra Lenini, innkeeper in her blood, and to the more discreet courtesy of Rosa Tozzoli.
In the kitchen, chef Simona Sapori and Stefania Baldisarri, in collaboration with Samira Sourour and Miriam Fornero. Driven by true culinary enthusiasm and rigor, they can offer an enlightening interpretation of traditional cuisine, offering dishes related to the territory.
The restaurant is spread over two floors with a wine cellar with wide vaults and a living room with fireplace, making the environment a special and magical atmosphere for dining with guests, business meetings or celebrations. Depending on the season you can start tasting Courgette flowers stuffed with ricotta cheese of the Santerno Valley, Spinach and Squacquerone cheese tart, Passita Sausage with classic Mortadella of Bologna and Piadina Romagnola, as well as a fabulous Polipetto in extra virgin olive oil, that over the years has become the top dish. Then, rigorously hand–rolled pasta, such as Tortellini in broth, noodles with pore mushrooms from the forest, Tortelli with goat cheese and pears, Strozzapreti pasta with clams and cuttlefish of the Adriatic Sea or Garganelli of Imola with Romagna shallots and bacon, in addition to soups and Risotto much appreciated by everyone. Great attention to seasonal vegetables used in appetizers or in vegetarian second courses or in combination with fish preparations. Roasted Rabbit with Albana di Romagna, Carrè of lamb with herbs and new Duck with orange juice are among the favorite second courses, but do not give up a cheese selection of quality (some of slow food presidia) served with homemade jam. Then, it is time for desserts, the real point of strenght of the venue are: Zuppa Inglese, Cannoli with cream and melted chocolate, Zabaglione with fruit in syrup and an amazing Torta Sabbiosa with mascarpone cheese that is worth the stop.
