Hosteria alla Vecchia Pesa In Basiliano

Kindness isn't a given. We probably came on the wrong night. The POS wasn't working, and that's understandable. The sign indicating this was hanging on the register, inside the restaurant, barely visible. We went in and asked if we could sit outside for a drink and a bite to eat. Okay, so we were told. We consumed everything (I must say, the staff was decidedly rude, but okay, so be it...). We went to pay and looked at the sign. When we asked, "Is this sign really like that?" we were sarcastically told, "No, it's April Fools' Day." And then, another series of "kindnesses." In the end, we paid by instant bank transfer—okay, no problem. But to solve this "hassle," it would have been enough to hang the sign outside, or notify the ordering staff, or even just respond kindly and politely with, "Yes, they've been doing some work and the POS isn't working. We can do an instant bank transfer." Making the customer feel like a nuisance is certainly not the best approach. Goodbye.

Very cozy atmosphere and the food was excellent.

If they hadn't brought me there, I would never have found it. Instead, it's a lovely place where you eat really well. The wagyu midriff is unforgettable. The service is courteous and fast.

Hosteria Alla Vecchia Pesa is one of those places that immediately makes you feel at home, and then completely wins you over with its food. From the starters of local cold cuts and cheeses to the first courses of the Friulian tradition, every dish is well prepared, generous, and made with excellent local ingredients. The main courses change with the seasons and let you try both hearty traditional cuisine and slightly more creative dishes, always well executed. The homemade desserts are excellent too, and so is the wine. The atmosphere of the osteria is warm and welcoming: the rustic interior, the village of Orgnano, and the friendly service create the ideal setting for a dinner with friends or as a couple. The staff are kind, attentive without being intrusive, and know how to recommend both the daily specials and the wines to pair.

Good, well-presented dishes, made with quality ingredients. Service is certainly courteous but tends to be slow. Nice location. Prices are a bit high for the quantity.
