Awards 2018

02/11/2025: I was happy with everything. The owners were kind and attentive, the food was delicious, and the prices were fair. I'll be back.

26/10/2025: The atmosphere is meticulously designed and very relaxing. The owners are welcoming and very kind. The ingredients are top-quality, the dishes are beautifully presented, delicious, and well-seasoned. The chef is excellent! Highly recommended!!!

03/11/2025: I had the honor of visiting Il Nido for my birthday on a Saturday evening with my best friend. I couldn't have chosen a better place! More than a dinner, I'd describe it as a sensory experience, a tasteful journey through unexplored horizons. The location is intimate, almost private, given the limited seating. The soft lighting, elegant interiors, and lounge music in the background create the perfect atmosphere for a high-end dinner. The service is superb and attentive to detail. It begins with a warm welcome and a heated coat check. The dining room exudes professionalism and warmth. After each course, the cutlery is changed and opinions are asked about the quality. Every so often, the table is cleaned of crumbs with a comb. Water and wine are refilled without asking and without being intrusive. The wine list is nothing short of encyclopedic. Few restaurants in Piacenza can boast such a wide variety and high quality of wines. For the "Nido del Picchio" menu, I'd recommend a Chardonnay Bourgogne, specifically a Mersault Les Narvaux Benjamin Leroux 2019, which pairs perfectly with almost all the dishes. Finding a wine that pairs perfectly with all the courses is difficult given the menu's variety, but this wine does it very well. I chose the "Nido del Picchio" tasting menu, which features several smaller dishes that, overall, are just the right amount of filling and explore innovative sensations, leaving lasting memories. The menu price, which can be found on the well-designed and very clear website, is, in my opinion, adequate for the overall quality found. The menu is superb, and the quality of both the ingredients and the dishes remains very high and consistent. Describing it all would be lengthy; I'll leave it to you, the reader, to try it if you wish. The presentation of all the dishes is striking, elegant and minimalist. The dishes showcase every ingredient. I was personally particularly impressed by the raw and cooked shrimp, which showcases the shrimp's head, which is often overlooked. The menu's ability to combine meat and fish is surprising, as in the case of the veal with raw tuna and anchovy mayonnaise. The rabbit in porchetta, a perfect marriage of rabbit and pork, is sublime. The accompaniments, namely focaccia and homemade breadsticks, are also very popular. If I had to nitpick, I'd recommend adding one or two ingredients to the cappelletti in fish broth. They're delicious, but in my opinion, they deserve that extra something that makes you say, "Wow." The desserts and the small pastries at the end are also delicious, consisting of chocolates and homemade mini muffins of various types. Also, thank you again for the personal touch on dessert! If you're looking to treat yourself to a memorable dinner to celebrate a special occasion or simply want to feel like you're in heaven, this is the place for you! It is a pearl in the Piacenza area and deserves a visit.

26/10/2025: I've rarely found a restaurant like this lately... Excellent in every way

22/11/2025: What can I say? A restaurant with attention to every detail. The dishes are works of art. I simply cannot imagine how they create dishes so beautiful to the eye and so special to the palate. A special thank you to Andrea, for whom I have profound respect. Pier for the wines, a guarantee, a knowledgeable and very kind person. Marco for the impeccable service. Heartfelt thanks to the entire Canton family.

13/11/2025: This review is for the restaurant. As always, everything was impeccable: the food was top-notch, the sommelier's service was perfect, the glasses paired with the dishes paired perfectly, and the table service was impeccable. The restaurant is always a guarantee.

06/10/2025: Excellent wines and appetizers. Excellent service.

10/05/2025: Dans le magnifique cadre romantique de la Villa Laetitia, ce restaurant qui a récemment reçu sa 3ème étoile au Michelin, bien méritée, propose une cuisine de très haut niveau, raffinée, très créative avec de superbes produits régionaux offrant saveurs, arômes et couleurs dans l'assiette. Tout est parfait du début à la fin du repas. Service très professionnel tout en étant décontracté nous donnant une très bonne explication de chaque plat proposé. Belle carte de vins pour tous les goûts. Nous avions choisi le menu 'dégustation' de 8 services et ce fut un vrai régal! Petite attention sympathique: ayant demandé un menu détaillé à la fin du repas, il nous fut apporté 2 petits menus rédigés 'à la demande' correspondant exactement à notre repas, y compris avec le vin que nous avions choisi et dégusté. Nous sommes repartis enchantés de cette magnifique soirée gastronomique!

03/11/2025: Absolutely perfect experience from the second we arrived until we left. The food, service and overall experience was incredible. I would love to visit again. We were looked after by Eric and the sommelier Giacomo. Both were impeccable in their care and attention to us and our evening. I will visit again when I return to Rome. Thank you for a wonderful evening made even more special by the team who work here.

26/10/2025: The food and service were impeccable. Congratulations on the wonderful experience you provided us with.

02/12/2025: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED...YOU ENTER YOUR OWN HOME EATING FLAVORS OF THE PAST

23/11/2025: This is not an osteria like any other. This osteria is an absolute temple of pure traditional cuisine, the kind of cuisine of the past, handed down through generations and crafted by the expert hands of Grandma Vincenzina. It's a wonderful place, made up of exceptional and special people. Incredible elements and synergies of flavor are the best you could wish for. All of this is brought to life by the heart and soul of the incredible and talented Chef Riccardo and Lucia, in the dining room. Riccardo possesses an absolute, top-notch technique that allows him to craft ingredients like very few others, resulting in dishes that are beyond unique and incredibly flavorful. For Chef Riccardo, perfection is a fundamental concept, and he strives to surpass it, ALWAYS. The artful, more than perfect preparation of ingredients fuses perfectly with the highest-quality raw materials, which are used with incredible mastery. The dishes inebriate the palate and the senses...everything is a caress for the soul. The ingredients are cooked sublimely. Here, cooking and drinking, rigorously traditional, are a true art, a journey through sight, smell, and taste, but above all through the feelings and emotions that Riccardo, by preparing unique dishes, evokes in those who taste them. The exceptional and very sweet Lucia recommended an excellent red, superb and perfect for the dishes we chose. Delicate and deep yet fresh, with aromas reminiscent of red fruit and a more than balanced alcohol content that blends harmoniously with the delicate flavors, enhancing their flavours both on entry and at the end of the mouth. This wonderful place is pure talent, more than unique. Emotions of the soul were enhanced by the smiles and infinite kindness of the wonderful Lucia. Wonderful smiles and a huge heart. Lucia's service is characterized by an above-average level of preparation, professionalism, kindness, courtesy, friendliness, and absolute precision. Osteria degli Orti is a continuous flow of flavors and emotions, starting with the consistency of the ingredients used and culminating in the perfection of the first bite. Two elements predominate: the preparation technique and the exceptional quality of the raw materials. This high-quality standard allows the customer to fully enjoy the flavors. The ingredients are crucial in enhancing the flavors, which, in the mouth, appear clean and full-bodied, yet delicate and persistent. Osteria degli Orti is a place where time stands still and everything becomes a dream come true. The quality of the products is probably among the best I've ever experienced in my life traveling throughout Lazio. Everything that comes from the hands of Chef Riccardo and his excellent assistant chef is IMPECCABLE, and you'll discover unique details you won't find anywhere else. I wish I could transport this place everywhere, along with those who are part of it, to make every moment unique and wonderful. Without a doubt, it's the best one could wish for, and it will always go far beyond even the most beautiful expectations. That's why I'm grateful for what will be and what has already been. Thank you, Riccardo and Lucia, for filling my heart with joy. 💙🩵🫂🙏🏾 Chef Alex Tocchetti Pisapia

31/10/2025: An absolutely unforgettable experience! We opted for the five-course menu, and every dish was a highlight – a true culinary and visual delight. Even the bread with the delicious butter was fantastic. With our coffee, we were served three little delicacies – so thoughtful and thoughtful! The staff was incredibly friendly, competent, and attentive. We visited during the off-season, but reservations are definitely recommended during peak season. Dog-friendly! 🐕 Absolutely top-notch – highly recommended! 👏🍷🍽️

31/10/2025: A warm welcome, friendly and competent service staff, and a sensational menu. Every course is a unique culinary experience. The kitchen truly knows how to pamper its guests. A fantastic interplay of flavors at the highest level, all at absolutely fair prices. The wine list also boasts an excellent selection. Wines from the region, as well as from other regions and abroad, are available. The architect has designed the restaurant with understated elegance, ensuring the focus remains on the food. A heartfelt thank you to the entire team; we will definitely be back!

23/11/2025: Delicious food, stunning location, and excellent service. The owner, in particular, is exceptionally kind and helpful. We will definitely be back.

29/10/2025: I haven't visited it personally...my son and his partner went there for an anniversary lunch and were very happy...it's certainly not a cheap place but you know that in advance...beautiful view...unique menu, scenic and very good

10/11/2025: Excellent tasting with matching wines

01/11/2025: Amazing experience, tasting menu was truly an experience that lights up your tastebuds. A hidden gem to be enjoyed within the city

02/09/2025: I was looking for a quiet place to dine alone, and I have to say it was perfect. No wait, impeccable staff, intimate, relaxing atmosphere. The dishes and decor were meticulously crafted, and the portions were just right! I was pampered. I highly recommend it. I left feeling satisfied.

23/08/2025: Exceptional seafood restaurant. Top-notch quality and romantic location.

02/11/2025: Undoubtedly they use excellent ingredients in this historical Milan restaurant. The recipes, while not adventurous, are not banal or routine and vaunt a touch of modernity and creativity. It is a sort of elevated and refined trattoria. However, the execution skills are not always in line with the quality of the ingredients. Notable failures were the (over)cooking of pasta in otherwise good and tasty tortelli ("cacio e pepe" with raw red prawns, lime and bottarga) and spaghetti with clams. A grouper, fresh and pleasant, was advertised as "crispy" but wasn't. A seafood fritto misto was the only perfectly executed dish. Because patisserie needs precision and here they don't shine in that department, we skipped desserts. The rooms and decor are beautiful and atmospheric. This is a large place with many people. Service is friendly but not always attentive and sometimes slightly chaotic, probably the same as things work in the cuisine. The result was a good but not outstanding meal. While I don't regret the experience, and portions are unusually generous at this level, at these prices I'm not sure a return would be worth the while.

29/10/2025: Good food but very high ambient noise.
