ristorazione — San Giovanni in Persiceto · Emilia-Romagna
In San Giovanni in Persiceto, on the plain outside Bologna, a bar has chosen to bring the warmth of the mountains into the city. Wood, soft lighting and a menu that covers the whole day, from breakfast through to the evening aperitivo.
From the sign onward, dark wood, warm lighting and touches of the mountain lodge turn a bar on the plain into something unexpected. Baita dello Sport opens at five in the morning and closes at midnight, seven days a week: a neighbourhood fixture that never pauses, with a young and welcoming staff.
The counter is the heart of the morning: more than forty-five varieties of brioches line the display case, with a selection dedicated to those avoiding gluten and to those following a vegan diet. Trays can be booked in advance, so breakfast can travel beyond the premises without giving up on choice.
As evening falls, the kitchen gets to work for the aperitivo hour: small bites and light dishes accompany the cocktails, and the pace shifts while the atmosphere stays the same. The outdoor garden with its covered terrace welcomes tables in every season, sheltered just enough to stay open even on grey winter afternoons.
From breakfast to the last hour of the night, Baita dello Sport is a stop worth the detour. The page tells the whole story.
