Located in the hamlet of Villa Vezzano, between Brisighella and Riolo Terme, La Villa Matta embodies the essence of an "old-school" Romagna trattoria.
The setting is simple and unpretentious, but upon entering, you are greeted by the authentic atmosphere of a grandparent's dining room, where the warm hospitality of the owner and staff makes you feel instantly at home. The kitchen is a tribute to tradition and heartiness: homemade first courses like potato tortelli with porcini mushrooms, generous grilled meats, and a grilled mutton (castrato) that customers describe as unforgettable. For more adventurous palates, the menu offers rare surprises like frogs, snails, and donkey.
With very fair prices and large portions, it is a must-stop for those seeking high-quality ingredients and human warmth over formality.
