ristorazione — Forlì · Emilia-Romagna
In the heart of Forlì, along Corso della Repubblica, an address has held its ground since 1936: nearly ninety years of authentic Romagna cooking, a wood-fired oven that has never gone cold, and a dedication to gluten-free cuisine that has turned a historic restaurant into a benchmark for the whole region.
The sign at number 209 Corso della Repubblica has been there since 1936: nearly ninety years in which generations of locals from Forlì have walked through this door. Since 1983 the Nardi family has kept its character alive, carrying on a style of management that blends homely welcome with the professionalism of those who have made dining a vocation passed down from hand to hand.
In the dining room, the menu tells the story of Romagna with the fidelity of those who have never stopped making it for real: fresh homemade pasta, traditional dishes, and vegetarian and vegan options that broaden the offer without distorting it. A balance built over decades of listening to customers, with staff described by those who sit at these tables as warm and genuinely knowledgeable.
The wood-fired oven is the heart of the place: the pizza comes out with a soft, light dough that reviewers describe as a constant, generous and well topped. Alongside tradition, more than twenty years of research into gluten-free cuisine have led to a dough certified by AIC — made with Schar flours for professional kitchens — that matches the same lightness without compromise.
A full gluten-free menu — from pizza to first courses to desserts, certified by AIC (the Italian Celiac Association) — that has made this historic Forlì address a recognised point of reference for celiacs throughout Romagna.
