Osteria Antica Romea In Piacenza

Excellent. Positively surprised.

Sophisticated business lunch. Courtesy included in the service. Pleasant and spacious environment

An osteria that prides itself on simplicity and a homey feel. I admit that at first glance, the exterior and entrance were a bit uninviting, but once I reached the inner dining room, I had to change my mind. I've always loved the rustic feel certain places give to their interiors. At first glance, I wasn't convinced by the price of the charcuterie board with gnocco fritto and giardiniera, which was higher than the Piacenza standard; but seeing the quantity of cured meats and the deliciousness of everything, I was able to change my mind. A truly excellent appetizer, with cured meats and gnocco fritto, which, despite being made with smaller than usual pieces, was plenty. The bread, which is included in the cover charge, was also delicious. The pasta was perfectly al dente: the tortelli con la coda were excellent, as is traditional, while the mezzelune with taleggio cheese and pears were exquisite. At times, perhaps a little too much, as some of the ravioli barely tasted of the sauce. In any case, the portions were just right. The desserts rounded off the dinner beautifully: the house tiramisu literally tasted like it was homemade, as my mother always assembled it in a similar way; the sbrisolona, on the other hand, was perfect, with its very light salty aftertaste, a perfect contrast to the mascarpone cream. The prices are reasonable for the quality of the dishes offered. Adding to the pleasantness of the evening was the staff, whom I immediately noticed were down-to-earth. I don't know if it's a family business, but that's what I sensed during this experience: a great deal of familiarity, warmth, and commitment to their work. I found it incredibly sweet to be served by the young daughter of one of the staff members, but overall, the entire team was impeccable. We left with smiles on our faces and full bellies. I'll definitely be back soon because I'm very curious to try the braised chestnut tagliatelle, too. I love it when menus combine traditional dishes with unique twists.

Excellent cured meats and excellent pisarei... It's just a shame they don't make fried gnocco for lunch... the only flaw

It's an atomic bomb for those who like to eat and not spend a lot, you can also spend a lot on steak, mixed fried rice with mushrooms 🍄 I recommend you go and try....

Excellent in everything, food, location and staff. Well done

Oggi a pranzo qua...invogliato da un amico, ma anche in coda da me... Entrando mi indicano di andare piu avanti che ci satebbe stato chi mi avrebbe accomoagnato al tavolo,. Appena entro vedo uno stanzone con tavoli stretti e vicini, quasi gomito gomito...quasi pieno di operai. La carta portatami, presenta le cose tipiche di un osteria, e vari menu lavoro veloci...i prezzi contenuti, nella norma. Scelgo i miei piatti, nel frattempo osservo il rumore forte delle persone e il via vai della sala...che cresce... Salumi con tanta pancetta, coppa metà della quantità della pancetta e 3 fette di salame contate 15 euro con giardiniera. Dopo scelgo il tagliolino cacio e pepe, arriva in un piatto piano molto grande che purtroppo essendo freddo, sfredda ill tagliolino tiepido... Abbastanza legato, non tanto cremoso.. Cmq sufficentemente buono.. Infine tagliata di carne con patate arrosto... Qua purtroppo la piastra ha creato una marcatura che ha contaminato un pò il gusto, Avendo all interno dei nervettini, mi sono chiesto che taglio fosse, visto che non mi era mai successo... Nel complesso forse meglio la sera, la mattina troppo caotica Non adatto a famiglie sicuramente, e con bambini... Il luogo stretto non si presta, Quel che ho visto ê che è una macchina perfetta per operai...consigliato!?50 e 50 Voto 6

Sufficiently positive experience, although as the tables were very close together, and the lot of confusion bothered me... Too much chaos.... For the rest everything is normal, apart from a little something.... Prices in the ranks with various menus, fast work....
