Awards for the Leonida restaurant

Located in one of Bologna's oldest alleys, Trattoria Leonida offers all the goodness of Emilian and Bolognese cuisine with a menu rich in tradition. Here, you can sample typical Bolognese dishes made with local ingredients, prepared just like our grandmothers did.



The restaurant where we serve our dishes is the same one that hosted German students in the 17th century who came to Bologna to attend university. Here, they would gather with the innkeeper, also German, to enjoy a taste of home.

The Municipality of Bologna recognizes Mr. Naldi Dante for being a witness to the Bolognese gastronomic tradition.


Emilian culinary tradition

The same welcoming and familiar atmosphere can still be found within the walls of Trattoria Leonida with the difference that now it is the cuisine and typical Bolognese dishes that reign supreme, and have been since 1938.


The restaurant awaits you in Vicolo Alemagna, in the historic center of Bologna, ready to let you taste typical dishes of Emilian cuisine.


The Trattoria is a piece of Bologna's history. Mauro Bassini's book "Qui era tutta lasagna" recalls the times when director Aldo Fabrizi and his crew used to have lunch and dinner at Trattoria Leonida during the filming of "Hanno rubato un tram."
