Concierge.com's insider take:
In the canal district east of Via Indipendenza, this eight-table family-run trattoria is a bastion of traditional Bolognese cuisine. Don't be fooled by the homey appearance of the warm wood-paneled dining room lined by dusty bottles: Serghei's fabulous cooking and convivial vibe attract fashion designers, university professors, and captains of industry as well as local artisans. The pasta is all homemade: Don't miss the melt-in-the-mouth ricotta and spinach tortelloni, served with butter and sage or Gorgonzola sauce. The hearty secondi include zucchini stuffed with polpettine (meatballs) in tomato sauce; in winter, polenta with spuntature (pork ribs) also puts in an appearance. There are some good regional bottles on the wine list.
Open Mondays through Fridays.
