Abocar Due Cucine Emilia-Romagna

Abocar Due Cucine sits on Via Carlo Farini, a twenty-minute walk from the stone arches of the Arco d'Augusto. The restaurant holds a Michelin star and sits at number 10 on the 50 Top Italy list for cucina d'autore.

The dining room runs smart, trading the heavy, traditional tropes common to Emilia-Romagna for a precise, modern approach to Italian cooking. While the city's old quarter leans into nostalgic, heavy-handed classics, Abocar focuses on a creative, reductive menu that strips away the excess. It is a necessary counterweight to the surrounding trattorias; you choose this for the technical discipline, which makes it a far sharper option than the well-trodden, high-volume tourist spots near Piazza Cavour.
