Why the Ravenna Restaurant Press Talks About Zabariona
Osteria dalla Zabariona was founded in 2021 by Andrea Rondinelli, a self-taught cook and cultural researcher devoted to the recovery of forgotten Romagnol recipes. The approach — rooted in Slow Food philosophy, direct relationships with small producers, and a rigorous respect for seasonal and territorial ingredients — quickly attracted the attention of national food critics and regional journalists alike.
Our wine list, built around DOCG Albana di Romagna, Sangiovese di Romagna and independent winemakers from the FIVI network, received the Spirito Slow award at Slow Wine Fair Bologna 2026 — a prize for the best value-for-money wine selection in the Italian osteria category. This award was widely covered by both regional and national food press.
We are located in Via Giuliano Argentario 19, Ravenna, a few steps from the UNESCO Basilica of San Vitale. Our position in the historic centre has made the Zabariona a natural reference point for food journalists visiting Ravenna’s cultural heritage circuit.
Ravenna Restaurant Press: Recognitions and Awards
The Ravenna restaurant press has consistently recognised Osteria dalla Zabariona since its opening in 2021 — from local papers like Settesere and Risveglio 2000 to national food guides such as Gambero Rosso and the Slow Food Osterie d’Italia guide. This consistent Ravenna restaurant press coverage reflects the growing recognition of Zabariona as one of the most authentic expressions of Romagnola cuisine in the city.
Beyond guide awards, the Ravenna restaurant press has featured Zabariona’s philosophy: the recovery of forgotten recipes from the azdore tradition, the use of autochthonous breeds (Mora Romagnola, the Romagna hen), the close collaboration with independent local producers. The 2026 Spirito Slow award at the Slow Wine Fair Bologna confirmed what local Ravenna restaurant press had been writing for years: that Zabariona represents a rare coherence between what is served on the plate and the values behind it. Discover the Romagnola cuisine and the Romagna wine list that earned these recognitions.
