Fargo – Home far from home
Fargo is a great little bar in the heart of Ravenna, on the corner between Via Girolamo Rossi and Vicolo Padenna . The place is not bigger than twenty square meters; the wooden counter, four tables pulled near the windows and a soft lighting create a cozy atmosphere, like a home living room.
Everything fills the air of intimacy and stimulates the conversation in a low voice in front of a glass of wine or a beer.
However, in my opinion, you really get in when you go outside, and I agree with you it could sound as the beginning of a Coen’s movie. In fact on a mezzanine there are other tables where most of the people sit down for a drink or two, especially on warm summer evenings. And so Fargo becomes the open air center of Ravenna, a place to meet friends and acquaintances, where to talk about music and cultural activities spreading around in the area, because Fargo is also the small counterpart of Bronson - a concert hall in the nearby Madonna dell’Albero - whose tickets for all the weekly appointments are sold in advance at Fargo. So as a good brother, despite its small size, you can find acustic concert and posters of the past events decorating the walls and the counter.
Even for breakfast, lunch and dinner, Fargo deserves a visit and if you're hungry you can try the simple and tasty menu that, including vegetarian and vegan choices, are made with ingredients chosen from local productions and will be served with a smile of the staff.
Some time ago a friend told me that in every city you have to know the places that make you feel at home: well Fargo, with its open-air lounge, its simple but accurate cuisine and its music on stereo or live, is definitely one of those places.
