Ostaria Nova In Este

Four of us went for lunch on Sunday, May 31, 2026. The experience was excellent, from the welcome, to the food, and the location. The owner, Silvia, explained to us that she wants to offer a different kind of cuisine, just the way she wants it, and I think she succeeded perfectly. The sardines in saor were very good, and the first courses we tried included bigoli with duck, pappardelle with peas, and asparagus and pea pie, as well as the cod and tiramisu. Highly recommended!!!

We passed through Este for work and stopped for lunch at this restaurant. What can I say? It was a real surprise. The food was prepared just like it used to be, excellent quality, and simple, yet meticulously prepared. I absolutely recommend it.

Excellent food, quiet and bright place, very well kept

Impeccable kindness and professionalism! Not to mention the quality. If you want to be pampered, go to Silvia.

A rare experience. I asked for a structured but mature wine, and four suggestions came back. A moving 2001 Slovenian Merlot. The appetizer was goose liver and smoked goose salami, cappellacci with melted cheese, and cod Vicenza-style. Perfect. Update: 1/12/2023, second tasting, with beef heart and Crozes-Hermitage Syrah. Always excellent.

Quality products and very well made

My first experience at this little restaurant, and I have to say it was truly a positive one. The restaurant is located on a small street, so there's not much parking nearby, but I don't consider that a problem: it's a couple of minutes' walk at most. The atmosphere is intimate, with about 30 seats inside and an outdoor veranda with additional tables for warmer weather; I think it seats about fifty in total. This small size isn't a flaw at all; on the contrary, it makes the atmosphere more peaceful, intimate, and pleasant. The owner, Silvia, is cheerful, helpful, and always ready to accommodate her guests' requests—qualities that truly make the difference. The menu is simple but carefully curated, with unique dishes and homemade desserts: everything is truly delicious. The prices are also absolutely in line with the quality offered, so nothing negative to report. We'll definitely be back, perhaps when the weather allows us to enjoy the outdoor area as well.

Excellent food, all made with selected ingredients, and the result is exquisite. I always come back here.
