25/03/2025: Osteria La Trappola, in the sense that you risk being trapped there forever because of how good it is! As soon as we entered, we were welcomed by the warm interiors that feel just like home. I'm happy to have had the opportunity to sit near the fireplace, because even though it had been hot since the early afternoon, the heating was so gentle that it didn't cause any discomfort; on the contrary, it made the rustic and familiar atmosphere of the place even more intimate. What can I say about lunch, except that I experienced it as an additional pampering in that serene atmosphere, together with the well-selected jazz music? The mixed cold cuts appetizer does not suffer from the lack of fried gnocco, completely filled with both fresh bread and focaccia. About these I have only one negative note to make: since there are four and they are quite small, in my humble opinion charging €4 is a bit excessive. But apart from that, everything went smoothly. Even the pasta was stellar: al dente as it should be and with divine toppings. When it came to dessert, I was particularly curious to discover the house desserts, and I wasn't disappointed at all: the zuppa inglese was practically identical to my mother's, further demonstrating that eating here was like eating in your own family nest; the sbrisolona was also excellent, along with the very large bowl of zabaglione. If it hadn't been for the large quantity of this cream, however, I would have turned up my nose when I discovered that, on the menu, the cake and zabaglione were separate. It's the first time I've had to pay for them separately in the Piacenza area, and I personally don't see any logical sense in it, but it was all so good that it made me completely forget about this little controversy that arose and ended spontaneously. The staff was very friendly and attentive to our table, another detail that I appreciated. In short, between the walls decorated with beautiful paintings and period furniture, together with the excellent culinary experience, I really can't help but give the highest rating to this osteria in the heart of Piacenza. Thank you for this super experience.

Very nice and intimate place with very kind and welcoming staff, excellent dishes and a good compromise between quality and price. The good reviews they have are all deserved!!!
