A charming restaurant in the very centre of Bologna, Ristorante 7 Archi is a cornerstone of local life, a favourite spot on the bustling streets of the historic Italian city, nestled between chichi shops, pretty piazzas and fashionable bars. An architectural gem, 7 Archi is surrounded by tall gothic vaults, complemented by modern furnishings which sit harmoniously alongside the ancient stone. Run by a group of friends, the concept behind the creation of this restaurant is quite simply providing quality food, familiarity, friendliness and value for money, a place for everyone – locals and tourists alike. A married couple, Miriano and Monika Baldacci, run the 7 Archi kitchen, creating traditional Tuscan and Bolognese cuisine coupled with European influences for a pleasingly modern take on old favourites.
