Since 2005, cosy traditional restaurant
in Castel Maggiore, in the province of Bologna!

La Corte dei Molini is our dream come true. It is the place where we welcome you every day with the same emotion we felt the very first day we opened. We will take you on a journey through the flavours of the traditional Emilian cuisine.


We are located on Via Matteotti 161 in Castel Maggiore, in the province of Bologna, in a charming and beautifully restored 16th-century building. In this magical location, which also boasts a 70 seats outdoor area, you will taste the traditional dishes of Bologna prepared with a modern twist and with the highest quality raw materials. Thanks to our careful selection of the raw materials, we offer a unique menu: our fresh and locally sourced ingredients allow us to offer the true flavours of the traditional Emilian cuisine. All the dishes can be tasted with a bottle of our wine: our Poggi winery has been making wine with the typical grapes of the tradition since 1954 .


We are close to the Bologna Interporto exit on the A13 motorway and to Centergross: for this reason, La Corte dei Molini is also the ideal solution for business lunches and dinners. Contact us by phone to reserve your table.


The restaurant is sanitised every day, thanks to a specific ozone sanitation system.

The story of our restaurant

Once upon a time there were two boys who were passionate about traditional Emilian cuisine, wine and authentic flavours. For about 20 years, one of them worked in the restaurant business and the other in the farming and winery business. This is the story of Paolo and Pierluigi, this is the story of La Corte dei Molini.


In 2005 the two, also thanks to the contribution of Barbara, managed to fulfil their dream and opened a restaurant where they could combine their passions for cooking and wine.


From that day on, we welcome you in a warm and friendly atmosphere. We are proud of our restaurant where food, wine and music are expertly combined to celebrate your most special moments and events.

The history of Castel Maggiore

The origins of Castel Maggiore date back to July 1519. It was then that the Senate allowed the Gozzadini family to build the first "mill" on the Naviglio canal (Navile), in Molini Novi (today called Castello di Castelmaggiore). After a century, the new owners, the Pizzardi family, built a large building featuring the very same beautiful arches where today we welcome our guests.


From that moment on, Molini Novi saw a growth in building, industrial and commercial development and "Caffè Cenacchi" became the locals' meeting point. In 1844, the small town was renamed Castagnolo (maggiore and minore) perhaps after an important and influential family: the Castagnoli family.


But we like to pass on our grandparents' version of this story, which is that the name comes form a large chestnut tree that grew spontaneously in the square after the Navile overflowed.


In 1869, the Soc. Anonima Officina Meccanica Fonderie of Bologna was taken over by the Barbieri family. From 1890, also thanks to the restructuring work done by the princes Hercolani (whose immense villa is located on the opposite side of the road), it was converted to produce refrigeration systems that are still present on the market today such as, Tecnofrigo dell'Orto. 


Today Castelmaggiore is located on the Via Galliera, but the old town centre was "recreated" in the Castle surrounded by the old buildings and La Corte dei Molini.
