17/02/2026: A True Local Gem in the Heart of Piazzo ❤️
Located in Piazzo, the beautifully preserved medieval upper town of Biella, Osteria Due Cuori sits under the historic arcades, perfectly in tune with its surroundings. Piazzo itself is a charming, timeless area, full of history and atmosphere, and well worth the visit on its own. The osteria is a quaint, cozy spot, run with great care by a young man and his aunt; la Zia. Both are extremely friendly, efficient, and make you feel genuinely welcome from the moment you arrive.
I started with a very good Negroni, followed by il nostro vitello tonnato con caramello al limone — excellent, with a lovely balance of flavors. For the main course, I had the Tagliata “Marchisio” alla piastra (approx. 300g) with oven-roasted potatoes, exactly as expected: perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious.
Worth noting: I was there on a Tuesday night and the place was packed. It’s not a large restaurant, but the fact that I was the only tourist says a lot… this is clearly a place with a strong local following and an excellent reputation among Biella residents.
A wonderful experience and definitely one to be repeated.
