Bar Il Cappuccino In Piacenza

10/03/2025: I had been eyeing this restaurant literally a stone's throw from Piazza Cavalli in Piacenza for years, and I'm happy to have taken the opportunity to try it after a complicated start to the week: in fact, I consider it a real treat in the form of lunch. As soon as I crossed the entrance threshold, I immediately understood that I was dealing with a place that expertly combines tradition and modernity; something that I then also found in the dishes, as well as on the walls. Even the dishes, in fact, are quite artistic and balanced in their presentation. A minimal style in bright colors that is a jewel for the eyes. From the starter to the dessert, everything was flawless. The cured meats were seasoned the way I like them, while the fried gnocco was delicious, and filling despite being made up of smaller pieces than the Piacenza standard. The pasta was as good as in a trattoria, while the dessert was experimental like in a modern pastry shop. I love when restaurants manage to combine the best of the past and present together. I especially congratulate those who took care of the drawings in the various corners of the room. I especially liked the jellyfish on the toilet wall. When I feel like intimacy and a few notes of jazz, I will certainly know where to return!

11/02/2025: Excellent welcome and service. Cozy and warm place in the historic center (a small flaw is the toilet... it feels like you're entering the kitchen 😁) A local menu, from Piacenza, with various excellences in typical cured meats and a section dedicated to Capitelli It offers platters of cured meats, focaccias, cheeses and fried gnocco Among starters, first and second courses, there is always the presence of typical Piacenza dishes but also some alternative proposals Good wine list, not just local
