17/07/2025: We were looking for an osteria, and we found it! When we went, I was worried it would be the usual tourist-friendly place. However, once inside, I realized it's absolutely authentic, fully reflecting what a trattoria should be: few frills and plenty of substance. So don't expect a refined atmosphere, but rather a warm, helpful staff. But let's get to the reason we're here: the food. Everything is simple, tasty, but not heavy. It feels like dinner at your aunt's, the one who cooks well. Simple dishes, the fruit of imagination and home-made care. The pici with mushrooms and sausage were excellent, the fried chicken and rabbit were good, and I'd say the fried zucchini flowers were fresh and fried well. Even the side dish, beans, and the dessert, tiramisu, reflect the spirit of the place. Well-made. In short, just steps from the city center squares, there's this corner of paradise for those who, like me, seek substance over appearance. The service is quick and attentive, with little touches that brought a pleasant smile to our faces. Ah, the bill. Honest. An appetizer, a first course, a second course, a side dish, dessert, house wine, and water: €68. It doesn't get much more honest than that.
