The story
Casa Mazzucchelli serves modern cuisine at via Porrettana 291 in Sasso Marconi, just outside Bologna. The restaurant holds one Michelin star for 2026, awarded for high quality cooking under chef Aurora Mazzucchelli.
Aurora Mazzucchelli runs the kitchen, and her training runs through restaurant service, pastry and bread making. Bread is not treated as a side here. The menu presents it as a structural element of each dish, and the recipes come from her own experience with the ingredients. The aim is a plate with a precise, balanced composition.
The Percorso Degustazione lets guests share several pairings, with texture, aroma and flavour shifting from one course to the next. Massimo Mazzucchelli, who has run service and the cellar since 1983, selects each bottle himself. He favours small producers with a natural approach, and the list is deep in vintages and wide in labels, which makes unusual pairings possible.
