LA PROSECCHERIA In Vicenza

Giunti nella magnifica città del Palladio in occasione di un mercatino vintage, ci siamo volentieri fermati a mangiare in questo locale seguendo le recensioni su Trip Advisor. Decisamente non ce ne siamo pentiti: inizio sontuoso con antipasti di cicchetti (nel locale li chiamano “spunciotti”) , cioè fette di pane croccante condite con deliziose combinazioni. Ve ne sono tantissime, di terra e di mare, e io sono andato trionfalmente in seconda! Ne ricordo alcune: melanzane e bufala, soppressa (il tipico salame veneto, fresco e poco stagionato), coi porcini, crudo e bufala, porcini e porchetta… Sono irresistibili, e solo il pensiero del primo piatto ormai in dirittura di arrivo mi ha fatto desistere dal continuare! Ci siamo poi deliziati coi bigoli al ragù d’anatra e la sfoglia di baccalà mantecato, entrambi piatti tradizionali del vicentino. Il tutto generosamente accompagnato da un buon Prosecco (e trovarne uno buono è già cosa rara). Conto sugli 80 euro.

Friendly service, great wine and canapés! Well done

Perfect Chateaubriand. High quality Vicenza wines. Truly professional, fast, concise service. New York atmosphere... well done

The overall experience does not differ much from that offered by an average restaurant, although the setting suggests something more refined, with references to a "masterchef" and names highlighted on the menu. Starter: the carpaccio turned out to be only decent. The ingredients (turnip, beef, walnuts and parmesan flakes) were all on the sweet side, making the dish unbalanced and not very harmonious. Second course of beef: we had specifically requested a "very rare" cooking, but the meat arrived cooked to medium. The side artichokes, however, were well done. Risotto: given the great expectations created around this "flagship" dish, we expected an impeccable execution. In reality, the excessive presence of peppercorns covered the delicate flavor of the asparagus. Furthermore, the creaming was not successful: the beans were washed out and poorly blended. The cooking was good, but overall I wouldn't go above a 7.5. Wine list: interesting and with good proposals. However, the wine was poured directly into our glass without letting us taste it first, a not insignificant detail in a place that aims for a certain level of service. Sore point: upon request for a bottle of oil at the table, we were brought a product from large retailers. A missed opportunity: it didn't take much to enhance the -discreet- bread and leave a good impression. Service: finally, the moment of arrival was inelegant: we were asked for the name of the reservation when we were still on the doorstep, with tones audible even from the other tables. We would have appreciated a more discreet welcome. I don't feel like I can recommend the experience.

A small and nice place, the prices are not cheap and the risotto gives me indigestion. The site is boring

We had lunch in this place immersed in a relaxing atmosphere, welcomed by kind and knowledgeable staff. The dishes are of excellent quality and preparation as are the wines offered, the place is clean and well looked after. Highly recommended.

A wonderful discovery in Vicenza!! Excellent restaurant with delicious food and perfect service. Compliments!

Excellent meal with Valpolicella accompaniment. Delicious, and the meal and the wine 🍷

Serata molto piacevole, dedicata alla degustazione (alla cieca) di importanti vini rossi italiani, con interessante confronto fra Amarone, Barolo e Brunello di Montalcino. Come sempre ottimi i piatti preparati dallo chef Mirko Ghitti

Super food. Super service. Reasonable price for food and service
