Locanda Alla Collegiata In Castiglione olona

09/09/2024: The Ouzeri Greek Tavern is an authentic slice of Greekness in Reggio Emilia, the dishes and the welcome are typically Mediterranean. The environment is familiar and welcoming with blue tables and white tablecloths together with Greek music which helps to create the atmosphere. It's wonderful to find the plates upside down on the tables, a custom that has been lost among us Italians, but which we once had too; I appreciated it very much. As soon as you sit down you are brought bread and water even though the waiting times for the dishes are short. My fiancé and I celebrated our fourth anniversary here. We started with the sauces accompanied by homemade pita and then continued with the spanakopita, rice rolls in vine leaves, black olives, giant stewed beans, fresh patatas with herbs and two pitas stuffed with chickpea meatballs. Finally we took two sweets, one with very crooked hand-made puff pastry and a hot filling, the other with almonds and sesame on the surface. As for drinks, it offers an extraordinary selection of wines all from Greece. We tasted both the resin wine and the Kleoni, but the thing I liked most was the ouzu, a typical Greek liqueur excellent for any occasion. In conclusion, the prices are excellent based on the portions which are generous and well seasoned. We will definitely be back, thank you for giving you a corner of Greece in Italy.
