Bitter In Piacenza

01/06/2025: After visiting Bobbio we stopped for lunch. Everything was perfect, abundant and above all good food, excellent house wine, fast and attentive service, fair price. Recommended

23/05/2025: We discovered this place thanks to the recommendations of the owners of the accommodation where we booked. Travo is a village that rises on the Piacenza hills and lies on the banks of the Trebbia river; arriving at dinner time here you can breathe the air of a working day just finished. Entering the tavern you encounter the history of this village and of the family that for four generations has brought to the table the typical dishes of the area and of Piacenza cuisine. The decor mixes vintage furniture and photos (including the fireplace) and more recent elements, in a stratification of history and knowledge that introduce the subsequent discovery of authentic flavors. We tried the bortlein with cured meats and cheeses, the vegetable crostini and two first courses, accompanied by the house red, a sparkling Barbera. These dishes were exquisite and abundant, we skipped the second course and dessert and stopped to taste the amari, typical of the area. The punctual service and a chat at the end concluded a pleasant evening at the table. Too bad it's not around the corner for us!
