L'oster Bif & Beef In Mapello

We ate very well and had an excellent wine. Attentive service.

Nice place with friendly staff, really excellent dishes. I had a starter of casoncelli Bergamaschi,

Nice place, but not 5-star specialty. Good staff and service. 5-star food/quality/choice Without a doubt. High price, €380 for 4 people (one rib-eye steak shared by two) plus what you see in the photos... but... definitely justified for the quality. Anyway, it's not a walk in the park... The owner, the guy with the beard, is kind and attentive. I appreciated it! The waiters, less so. Parking can be a problem if you arrive after 8:00 PM on weekends. I think I'll go back... But I need to save my money.

Excellent meat, excellent service, I would say everything was special

Chose by chance for dinner. Not knowing that my partner follows the owner on Instagram, it was a great surprise for him. Expectations were met. Excellent dinner. Too bad it's so far from Modena.

Spurred by owner Raffaele's exaggerated social media postings, on May 1, 2026, we visited L'Oster in Valtrighe, a hamlet in the municipality of Mapello. This is undoubtedly a place where they know how to handle their meat, and where you have to spend to try the 30-day-old dry-aged cuts. We opted for the Friday night special and were very satisfied. However, there are some points that could be improved for greater clarity: 1) The meat is priced per 100g, but it's not specified that there's a minimum order size (1kg for today's cuts, 500g for boneless ones). We only discovered this when ordering, which is why we opted for the special; 2) When the dessert menu is presented (listed verbally), the prices are not stated, and we discovered the same at the checkout (€8 each). I also understand that we had already ordered a glass of wine before ordering the special, but since we sent back the two glasses that were brought to the table (and therefore untouched), I personally wouldn't have charged for the glass we'd previously ordered. The meat and cured meats were high-quality, as was the gnocco fritto (not at all greasy). The only truly negative note was the peach mousse: flavorless and with a crisp, acidic aftertaste. The peach was only slightly noticeable, and the amaretto was clearly dominant. We'll perhaps return to try the other options available from the à la carte menu.

The meat was excellent. The service was excellent, especially for their kind (much appreciated) response to a dish that had problems.

The waiters were all very kind, always smiling and very welcoming. The interior was really beautiful and clean. The food was excellent!

Spectacular lunches and dinners

I was already following the owner on Tiktok and I ended up here by chance but I was extremely satisfied!
