The business grows, with excellent customer feedback, but in May 2023, the flood wipes out the efforts made and destroys the important investment made within those walls. Eugenio and Lisa, despite everything, force themselves, roll up their sleeves and with obvious sacrifices, in just a few months manage to relaunch and even stand out for their pizza and the service offered at the Pizzeria Civico 25. Thirty seats, furnished in a simple, which increase in summer when the tables are also outside and the scent of Eugenio's pizza spreads under the arcades. A family management linked to traditions, a welcoming atmosphere from which you can perceive the commitment and passion expressed. The tenacity of the Iannella family in Castel Bolognese has been greatly appreciated, the Pizzeria Civico 25 is an encouraging sign, considering that after the recent flood events, in the stretch of portico, which goes from the square to the traffic lights towards Faenza, once characterized by shops sequentially, today there are only three locations open. "Fortune favors the bold".
