HOSTARIA LUISA In Minerbio

21/05/2024: There are two distinct locations - the restaurant and the hotel. We experienced both. The hotel was small but well kept. Three rooms total. Our little room (Turrita) had a queen bed, couch, bathroom and closet space. The light was out in the bathroom the first two nights, but when mentioned they fixed it immediately. Then, it stayed on all night. No wonder it burns out… The staff was very friendly. There are NO USB plugs in the room anywhere. Please come prepared. Our little converter to USB made our phones charge at a crawl. There are a lot of stairs (about two flights worth) to get to the rooms. Overall, a lovely stay in a very walkable place. Onto the restaurant. The first night there were no openings (make a reservation). We came back on a Monday night and were seated in the back room. The ambience was lovely. They start you with bread and a little hummus dip. The beef tartare was phenomenal. Tender and well plated. The pork Cheek was cooked perfectly. The linguine was al dente and the tomatoes had a ton of flavor. The wine Negroni was beautifully prepared. I ordered a vodka martini (specifically asked for vodka - not just “martini”) and they brought me gin - they fixed it quickly. The price was decent for an upscale experience. The location could not be better located so close to the city center. The menu is limited so check it in advance to make sure you have an option you can enjoy. Highly recommend both locations. Come to stay and enjoy a lovely meal downstairs. It’s a great place to have both regardless of weather concerns.

30/04/2024: Very well-kept place in the historic center, high-level mixing in both the signature and the classics. Excellent cuisine in all its offerings, professional and informal service at the same time. Very interesting wine list which offers classic and more refined proposals which are never banal. Truly recommended for aperitif, sidecar, dinner
