04/01/2026: Overall, a positive experience, especially since we know the owners and the atmosphere is always welcoming. We had reserved a table for four, but at the last minute someone turned us down. We were given no problem, which is absolutely appreciated, and we still got a table for four despite sitting three.
The assigned table, however, was in a rather small room, made even more crowded by the presence of a large table next to us. I understand that on certain evenings it's difficult to manage space, but perhaps a different table layout (smaller tables in intimate rooms and larger groups in larger rooms) could make the experience even more comfortable. In any case, the staff couldn't have done much more at that time.
As for the food, we started with a decent appetizer of cured meats and cheeses: this time, I expected something more than on other occasions. There was only one type of cheese available, whereas in the past the selection was more varied; the cured meats were the classic appetizers. The taralli, both the traditional ones and the special raisin ones, were excellent, along with the homemade pizza dough breadsticks, truly excellent.
Among the main courses, the horse veal with stewed onions was very good, tender and flavorful. The tagliolini with porcini mushrooms and shrimp tartare was good, but the truffle indicated on the dish was missing. Furthermore, the shrimp tartare, which should have been on the bottom according to the description, was served on top and in rather small quantities: nothing serious, but a noticeable detail.
The daily menu (like the tripe) was interesting, but unfortunately it was sold out; however, the kindness of the owner and waiter deserves credit, who were very helpful in finding a solution.
For dessert, we were served a separate menu, which was much appreciated, although several desserts were off-menu and not listed spontaneously: I only discovered them by asking. I tried the three-chocolate mousse and the berry cheesecake, both truly delicious.
The final bill was around €73: a fair and reasonable value.
Overall, a pleasant evening, with a few details that could be improved, but Osteria Vecchia Cantina remains a reliable choice and definitely worth a visit.
03/01/2026: A very nice place; in the morning it's a restaurant and in the evening it's also a pizzeria. The food is spectacular; the ingredients are fresh and of good quality. The waiters are kind and welcoming, so the service is excellent. The prices are low for what they offer. I recommend it if you want to spend a nice day or evening with friends, eating well and enjoying it.
