Antica Stella In Longhena

23/03/2026: On the city's main street, if the menu weren't displayed outside, it would look more like a bar than a restaurant, although sitting outside allows you to enjoy a glass of wine while watching the world go by. It's a historic establishment with a beautiful refrigerated counter displaying typical local products. Seats are limited, and the walls of the dining room are adorned with numerous bottles of wine, desserts, and pasta. The menu, where meat dominates, isn't extensive, a testament to the freshness of the ingredients. Pici with white Chianina beef ragù and pappardelle with wild boar ragù were our first choices; both were delicious and the portions were generous. For main courses, we had two tagliata (a thin slice of beef), one with mushrooms and one with green peppercorns, and again, the choice was spot on. I have a comment about the quantity, but not the quality, of the roast potatoes served as a side dish; they were truly meager. The waitress was kind and professional. The price was fair for what we ate.
