Bar Ristorante Rio Verde In Podenzano

20/04/2026: A quick lunch, pisarei and panzerotti. Very good, tasty, and generous portions. Nice atmosphere and fast service. WELL DONE!

16/04/2026: The restaurant is elegant and welcoming, family-run, and located in the province of Piacenza. The atmosphere is pleasant, and the staff, especially the owners, were immediately friendly and helpful. We chose several traditional Piacenza dishes, starting with an appetizer of mixed local cured meats accompanied by fried gnocco: excellent quality products, truly delicious. The butter and sage tortelli were tasty, although the portions were a bit small. The pisarei e fasó, on the other hand, were excellent, with a thick and flavorful sauce, just as tradition dictates. The tagliolini in Parmesan fondue with black truffle were truly excellent: a well-executed dish, rich and intensely flavorful. The braised beef with polenta was equally satisfying, with very tender and well-seasoned meat. The heifer tartare with shavings of Parmesan cheese was also good. To conclude, we tried a warm apple pie with ice cream: generous portions and exceptional flavor, enough to make us want more. The only negative was the pizza, which we weren't convinced by: too thin and crispy for our taste. The price was in line with the quality of the ingredients and the dishes offered. Overall, a very positive experience: we'll definitely be back.
