OsteriA d'Una Volta In Piacenza

The typical tavern as I like it, with wine served in a bowl, the boy who served us was good and friendly and the food was excellent.

The service was good but very slow. They served my entrecot almost cold and the meat wasn't soft, it was very hard , I barely cut it. I was disappointed. The atmosphere was nice and very traditional. The house's wine was very tasty.

The name is perfect for this tavern, given that, as soon as you enter, you are immediately catapulted into a location with a vintage flavour. It really seems like a change of era, to arrive at a time when, perhaps, we lived the day in a lighter way. I particularly appreciated the paintings and cartoon drawings displayed on the walls, works which - you can see from the line - are the product of expert hands. Here, for the first time since I wandered around the trattorias of Piacenza, I didn't experience the absence of fried gnocco to accompany the cold cuts platter as a lack or loss. Indeed, the fresh rustic bread was sensational, perfect to also pair with giardier and Russian salad. The cured meats were really excellent, seasoned the way I like them. A perfect portion to arrive at a first or second course with your mouth still watering. I was pleasantly surprised by the seasoning of the tortelli with tail: I think it is the best I have tried in Piacenza in terms of taste and creaminess. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same thing for the pasta, which, in my opinion, would have needed less cooking, since al dente it becomes even better. Pisarei are also delicious. The desserts, then, were excellent in their simplicity: a small reinterpretation of the traditional sbrisolona, ​​and a slice of tart with apricot and amaretto. They hit the target perfectly, to end the meal on a high note. I really appreciated the sign that specifies that dogs are welcome in this tavern. Indeed, seeing the owners' poodles wandering around the room, or dozing perched in their kennel did nothing but exponentially improve an already excellent experience. The staff are very kind: you can see that they are friendly and approachable people. The room downstairs is also beautiful to look at, where there are also impeccably maintained toilets. It was a really good lunch, I will gladly go back.

Ristorante tipico d'una volta,ottimo il cibo con porzioni abbondanti,buona scelta dei vini. Servizio cordiale e gentile. Tutto fantastico, complimenti.

Typical restaurant of the past, excellent food with generous portions, friendly and kind service.

We stumbled upon this tavern by chance on a Sunday for lunch. It was truly a great discovery. Excellent choice of traditional dishes, really good. Welcoming environment and a lot of friendliness from the staff.

Lunch after medical visit... Immediately well received. They sit me down and give me the menu. I choose mixed cured meats from Piacenza, Pisarei and Faso and a horse tartare made with the house's sparkling red wine. All delicious.... a real treat for the palate but I will carry with me the memory of the horse tartare with mustard that they recommended to me.... not happy with that, I also had a fantastic tart with amaretti biscuits and apricot jam. What can I say... I will go back with my family. Recommended for those who want to eat well.

Happening by chance, they immediately welcomed us in a friendly and joking manner. Very good food, fair prices. (The Ligurian group..🤣🤣🤣).

nice place.. you're happy to be there shame about the bill 2 eggs bacon and cheese €11.00 crazy. taken precisely out of curiosity to see how two eggs were cooked and presented!!!! disappointment

Ottima esperienza all’ “Osteria d’una volta”. Sembra di entrare in un’osteria del secolo scorso. Con tanta tradizione in tavola. Affettati, anolini in brodo di terza e con funghi entrambi buonissimi. Stracotto di guancialino di cavallo. Gutturnio superiore in tazza (come una volta) buonissimo anche se sfuso. Dolci di produzione propria. Conto più che onesto. Cortesia e gentilezza al servizio ad un passo dal centro storico di deliziosa Piacenza. Bravi! Continuate a fare casa… lontano da casa.
