Restaurant in Torriana, Italy
Michelin-noted trattoria, honest prices, real Romagna.
A Michelin Plate-recognised trattoria (2024 and 2025) in the Montefeltro hills outside Torriana, Il Chiosco di Bacco earns its reputation at the €€ price tier. The menu splits between territorial Romagna cooking — fresh home-made pastas, salumi, porchetta-style rabbit — and a meat section featuring Italian and Scottish aged beef. A 4.6 Google rating across 864 reviews confirms consistent delivery. Lunch is the recommended sitting for the rural setting.
For a two-price-range restaurant in rural Romagna with back-to-back Michelin Plate recognition in 2024 and 2025, Il Chiosco di Bacco punches considerably above its weight. You are not paying fine-dining money here, which makes the Michelin acknowledgement more meaningful than it might appear: this is a kitchen that has earned external validation without charging for it. If you have already visited once and ordered reliably, this portrait is for the second visit, when the decisions get more interesting.
The €€ price range positions Il Chiosco di Bacco squarely in the honest-trattoria tier, not the splurge category. That matters because the menu splits into two distinct halves, and understanding that split is the key to ordering well. One half is rooted in the Montefeltro territory: fresh home-made pastas, salumi, and porchetta-style rabbit. The other is a meat-focused section with an interesting selection of steaks and ribs sourced from Italian and Scottish breeds, including longer-aged beef rested for around a month. The aged beef will cost more than the territorial dishes, but you are still not approaching the price points of a destination restaurant. If you came last time for the pasta and salumi, the aged-beef section is the logical next chapter.
The wine list is described as excellent and is built to pair with both halves of the menu, which is not a given at this price tier. A trattoria in a rural location that has assembled a serious wine list alongside Michelin recognition is a specific and useful combination. For guests who treat wine selection as part of the meal rather than an afterthought, this is a meaningful differentiator from comparable countryside restaurants in the area.
Il Chiosco di Bacco sits in a rural location in the Montefeltro region outside Torriana, which changes the calculus on timing in ways a city restaurant does not face. Lunch here carries a practical advantage: the surrounding landscape is part of the experience visually, and you have daylight to appreciate it before and after the meal. The meat-heavy menu, particularly the aged cuts and porchetta-style rabbit, also reads more naturally as a midday event in the Italian trattoria tradition than as a late dinner.
Dinner makes sense if you are already staying locally or combining the visit with an evening in the area, but the drive back in the dark from a rural address after a full meal and wine is a consideration worth planning around. For a first or second visit, lunch gives you the better version of this restaurant's setting without the logistical friction. If you are returning specifically for the aged-beef selection and want to explore the wine list more seriously, dinner gives you more time without the afternoon-departure pressure. The decision comes down to your base: lunch if you are day-tripping, dinner if you are already in the hills.
Half the menu being dedicated to the Montefeltro region is not a marketing framing, it is a structural commitment. Fresh home-made pasta in Romagna is a category with serious regional expectations, and a kitchen that builds half its identity around that tradition is making a claim that the Michelin Plate recognition suggests it can support. The salumi and porchetta-style rabbit extend that territorial logic beyond pasta, giving you a coherent picture of what local cooking in this part of Emilia-Romagna looks like at a considered level rather than a tourist-facing approximation.
For returning visitors who focused on pasta and salumi on the first trip, the porchetta-style rabbit is the natural next order. For anyone who came primarily for the meat section, the home-made pasta is worth building a full return visit around. The two halves of the menu are complementary enough that a table sharing across both is the format that gets the most out of what the kitchen is doing.
A Google rating of 4.6 across 864 reviews at a rural trattoria with no website or listed phone number is a meaningful signal. That volume of reviews for a location-specific restaurant without an obvious digital presence suggests a consistent stream of returning and referred diners rather than a venue running on tourist footfall. Michelin Plate recognition in consecutive years (2024 and 2025) confirms the kitchen is not coasting. These are not three-star credentials, but they are honest indicators of a restaurant performing reliably at its price point over time, which is what the €€ tier requires.
Reservations: Easy to book; advance planning recommended for weekends given the Michelin Plate recognition and limited rural seating. Budget: €€ price range; expect to spend more if you order from the aged-beef section of the menu. Getting there: Rural address at Via Santarcangiolese, 62, Poggio Torriana — a car is required; plan the return journey if drinking from the wine list. Dress: No formal dress code expected at this trattoria tier; smart casual is appropriate. Wine: An excellent wine list is in place, designed to pair across both halves of the menu.
There is no confirmed tasting menu in the available data for Il Chiosco di Bacco. The menu is structured as two distinct halves: a territorial Romagna section and a meat-focused section with aged beef. At €€ prices with Michelin Plate recognition, the à la carte format is already strong value. Order across both halves of the menu rather than waiting for a set format that may not exist.
Bar seating is not confirmed in the available data for this venue. Il Chiosco di Bacco is a rural trattoria in the Montefeltro hills with a full kitchen menu, not a bar-first format. Contact the restaurant directly to confirm seating arrangements before your visit, particularly if you are planning a solo or informal stop.
For Cuisine from Romagna at a comparable price tier, Dei Cantoni in Longiano is the most direct regional alternative. If you are open to driving further for a more ambitious meal, Uliassi in Senigallia operates at a higher price tier with three Michelin stars but stays within the Romagna coastal region.

Booking difficulty is rated Easy, but this is a rural trattoria with Michelin Plate recognition and 864 Google reviews, which means weekend tables fill faster than the easy rating implies. A few days ahead is usually sufficient on weekdays; book a week out for Friday and Saturday lunch or dinner. The absence of a listed website means you will need to book by phone or in person , contact details are leading sourced locally or via Google Maps.
No formal dietary policy is available in the current data. The menu is heavily meat and pasta-focused, built around Romagna territorial traditions including salumi, porchetta-style rabbit, and aged beef cuts. This is not a kitchen structured around plant-based or gluten-free alternatives. If you or your party have specific dietary requirements, contact the restaurant before booking to confirm what the kitchen can accommodate.
Yes, at the €€ price tier with consecutive Michelin Plate recognition (2024 and 2025) and a 4.6 Google rating across 864 reviews, Il Chiosco di Bacco delivers clear value. The aged-beef section will push the per-head cost higher than a pasta-only meal, but you are still not approaching the prices of comparable-credential restaurants in the wider region. For a Michelin-recognised kitchen in a rural Romagna setting at this price point, there is no obvious competitor offering the same combination of territorial cooking and serious wine list.

How Il Chiosco di Bacco stacks up against the competition.
The menu structure at Il Chiosco di Bacco is split between Montefeltro regional dishes — fresh home-made pastas, salumi, porchetta-style rabbit — and a meat-focused half with aged Italian and Scottish beef. Whether a formal tasting menu exists is not confirmed in available records. At €€ pricing with Michelin Plate recognition in both 2024 and 2025, ordering across both halves of the menu is the way to get the full picture without committing to a set format.
Bar seating details are not confirmed for Il Chiosco di Bacco. Given its rural trattoria format in Poggio Torriana and the fact it holds no listed website or phone, the setup is almost certainly table-service only. Booking a table rather than counting on counter availability is the safer approach, especially on weekends.
Torriana is a small hill town with limited restaurant density, so realistic alternatives mean heading toward Rimini or the wider Montefeltro area. If you want to stay in the rural Romagna register at a similar price tier, the surrounding villages offer agriturismi, though none carry the same consecutive Michelin Plate recognition. For a step up in formality and price, Osteria Francescana in Modena or Dal Pescatore in Canneto sull'Oglio are the regional benchmarks, but those are different trips entirely.
Book at least a week ahead for weekday visits, two or more weeks for weekends. The rural location limits walk-in viability, and back-to-back Michelin Plate recognition in 2024 and 2025 has raised its profile with food-focused travellers passing through the Rimini area. Il Chiosco di Bacco has no listed website or phone, so booking will likely require direct contact through a search or reservation platform.
Specific dietary accommodation policies are not documented for Il Chiosco di Bacco. The menu is heavily anchored in meat — cured salumi, porchetta-style rabbit, aged beef — so vegetarians will find the choice limited, and the kitchen's orientation is traditional Romagna rather than adaptable modern. If dietary flexibility is a priority, this may not be the right fit; if you eat meat and want regional cooking done properly at €€, it is.
At €€ with Michelin Plate status in 2024 and 2025, Il Chiosco di Bacco offers solid value for what it is: a regionally committed trattoria in the Montefeltro hills serving fresh home-made pasta, Romagna salumi, and aged steaks from Italian and Scottish breeds. The trade-off is location — you are driving to a rural address outside Torriana with no website or listed phone, which takes planning. If you are already in the Rimini or San Marino corridor and you eat meat, the detour is justified.
Keep this venue in your Pearl passport, rate it after you visit, and track it alongside every other place you collect.
