The atmosphere is old-fashioned, with separate tables and paper placemats. It's also beautiful to look at. Attentive service; the waiters and waitresses are all very friendly and quick. Excellent food. Charcuterie platter with Russian salad and homemade giardiniera. Two first courses (tortelli piacentini in butter and sage to better savor the exquisite filling, and chicche della nonna with mushroom sauce). Anolini in broth is very good. Horse tartare is very tasty and can be topped to your liking. The tiramisu and amaretti cake with jam are truly delicious. Good value for money. Definitely worth trying again.

The name says it all! I don't know if there are any others in the area, but these days it's increasingly difficult to find an old-fashioned osteria. The cured meats are excellent (with the addition of Russian salad and surprise pickles), and the anolini and tortelli are perhaps a little bland, but made with quality ingredients and handmade. Side dishes include caponata and baked potatoes, which are also simple but very good and tasty.

We went there during the Piacenza fair and it was a pleasant surprise. The owner was perfect, very good and polite, as was the waiter. There's nothing more to say... visit the place and enjoy the experience!

Osteria d’Una Volta
I confess I was initially quite skeptical. The reviews were enthusiastic, but I always tend to read them with a certain reservation. This time, however, I was happily proven wrong.
Osteria d’Una Volta turned out to be a trattoria with no negatives. The cuisine is truly excellent: authentic flavors, carefully prepared dishes, and a quality that is immediately apparent. The atmosphere is clean, welcoming, and quiet, ideal for a moment of pleasant serenity. The welcome was also very warm.
The most pleasant surprise came when we received the bill: the price was decidedly reasonable considering the quality of the experience.
It's a shame we were only passing through, because it's one of those places you choose willingly and will gladly return to. If we have the chance, it will definitely be a stop we'll return to.

Had lunch with friends (14 people) on an art trip...an excellent experience. Exquisite cured meats, accompanied by delicate pickles and Russian salad, good bread, truly delicious traditional first courses. Quick and courteous service, I'd say EVERYTHING WORTHY OF PRAISE!
