Osteria del Leone In Penne

A very positive experience! Even though we called at 1:45 PM, we still managed to have lunch. The welcoming and intimate atmosphere and the truly friendly and professional wait staff are a great asset. Appetizer: mixed cured meats and cheeses, and cheese and egg balls. Everything was truly delicious and made with quality ingredients. First courses: paccheri with pistachio pesto and tonnarelli cacio e pepe. These too were very flavorful and balanced. My only complaint about the cacio e pepe: perhaps the pasta was a little too salty, but that can happen. Dessert: tiramisu. Delicious and balanced, with a light amaretto flavor that adds an unexpected kick. Wine by the glass, water, coffee, and liqueurs. We spent €65 for two, and honestly, I thought it was very reasonable, given the quality of the ingredients and the service.

I'd give the tonnarelli cacio e pepe a personal eight. Both the wait staff were very friendly, attentive, and quick. The information on what to see in Penne was helpful. I highly recommend Osteria del Leone.

A truly enjoyable business lunch at this restaurant! The food was excellent and the service equally attentive. We ate in a private room at a square table, so we could all look at each other... which made for a very lively conversation! 😄 Even though you have to go down a few steps to get there (I think it's in the basement), the atmosphere is truly welcoming. In short: great place, everything perfect, we'll definitely be back... and with pleasure!

Such good food and the prices are very reasonable. Excellent wines available as well. Highly recommend to anyone who appreciates good food.

Nice osteria in a beautiful cellar vault. Since we only had one night in Penne, we only ate there once—we would have certainly eaten there more often otherwise. Both starters, main courses, and dessert were really, really, really delicious. There was also a very good house wine and super friendly service. Absolutely fantastic value for money—I highly recommend this osteria. We wish we had a restaurant like this around the corner from home :)

A welcoming restaurant, delicious food, and friendly staff. A lovely surprise on a late summer day.

Classic Italian restaurant, friendly and attentive staff. Good quality food and beautiful presentation. Good value for money.

Very nice restaurant with a great menu. Very good meals.

Highly recommended! The quality and customer service are commendable. The only downside is that the entrance isn't immediately visible to those who aren't local. Otherwise, definitely recommended!

Delightful! We had already been to this restaurant over 10 years ago during a previous vacation, so it was a real rediscovery. The food is excellent, with very good, well-prepared ingredients and a wonderful combination of flavors. We absolutely loved all the dishes, from the starters to the pasta and meat dishes—no complaints! The service was also perfect. We recommend this establishment without hesitation, and we'll definitely be back! 😉👍
