Frommer's Review
This wonderful trattoria is one of the few restaurants still doing classic Bolognese cuisine. Hosts Franco and Ezio Bolini insist that all the produce be fresh. The menu's signature dish is tortellina Montegrappa, a pasta favorite served in cream-and-meat sauce. The restaurant is also known for its fresh white truffles and porcini mushrooms. A good example is the graminia, a very fine white spaghetti presented with mushrooms, cream, and pepper. A heavenly salad is made with truffles, mushrooms, parmigiano, and artichokes. Note: Graminia is also served with cream and sausage.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
