spring is in the air!
Sunday at the Macelleria Cecchini
This week both my friend Beatrice and I celebrate out birthdays… so we went to Dario Cecchini’s SoloCiccia Sunday for lunch to start celebrating!
We went early to catch some of the Sunday Market action, see the vintage car rally drive by and just relax!
Our table was not in the new restaurant space but in the lower part of the butcher shop.
Solociccia sits you with other people and service is family style.
We were lucky to have a group of young sicilian’s that live and work in Florence
and a group from bologna that is opening a new restaurant….right near the Arena del Sole the theater.
the chef, ( from guatemala but in Bologna since he was three!!!)
can’t get more Bolognese than that!
Da Pietro.. dinner only!
via Falegnami, 18
telefono 051.230644
They open today!!!
I will be going up soon to try it.
I adore Bologna!
I always make new friends at Dario’s which is why I go anytime I can.
I actaully ended up going from client to staff at a certain point.
From shopping .. to girl Friday, cashier, cook, catering.
My husband and I worked with Dario for 2 years.
If you know Dario, that is like 5 years for anyone normal!
