06/06/2026: Sosteria is a gastropub on the outskirts of Piacenza that stands out thanks to its well-constructed concept and meticulously curated food.
As they describe themselves, the menu ranges from burgers, traditional dishes, and crostoni, all accompanied by a good selection of cocktails, beers, and wines. A formula that works and satisfies a wide range of tastes.
One of the aspects I appreciated most was definitely the attention paid to celiac disease sufferers. It's not just a standard, forced option, but a wide and thoughtful selection, allowing everyone to find something interesting to eat without feeling limited.
If the weather permits, I definitely recommend one of the outdoor tables. The garden is well-kept, bright, and very pleasant, especially on summer evenings. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, inviting you to linger longer than expected.
The aperitivo appetizers are also very good: varied and delicious, perfect to accompany a beer or cocktail. I particularly appreciated the attention to artisanal preparation: the dough, bread, and fries are all homemade, and you can taste the difference in the final result. The burgers are also well-crafted, with quality ingredients and generous portions.
The only real flaw is the service, which can be quite slow even when the place isn't particularly crowded. I'm not referring so much to the dishes, which are understandable given the artisanal nature of the food, but rather to the drinks, which sometimes seem excessively slow.
Perhaps I'd also lower the music volume slightly, but that's a highly subjective matter.
Overall, however, Sosteria is a project that exudes personality and passion. A welcoming, inclusive, and unique place, where you eat well and enjoy spending time. With a little quicker and more on-point service, it would be really hard to find any flaws.
