Osteria il Buganiere In Vicenza

20/10/2025: Excellent, elegant and welcoming

19/10/2025: We were two of us on Saturday evening, having made a reservation. Renato greeted us in a very kind and friendly manner. The decor is rustic, with truly unique and vintage pieces, but the atmosphere is that of an elegant restaurant. Renato himself treated us with kid gloves, explaining the dishes and, most importantly, explaining that everything was homemade, from the bread to the fresh pasta, and that the vegetables came from their own garden. The fireplace was beautiful, where he and his colleague (the only ones serving) cooked the meat and polenta squares themselves, which were incredibly crispy and not greasy. The quality of the dishes was truly high, and there was a wide selection of wines as well. If I had to find a small flaw, it might be the slightly expensive price: €93 for two appetizers, a soup, a first course, two glasses of wine, and a bottle of water...but these days, prices in more refined establishments are like that. Still, it's recommended, keeping in mind that the menu includes several Calabrian dishes, not just Venetian cuisine.
