OSTERIA STEAKHOUSE LA CAMPAGNOLA In San giovanni al natisone

12/01/2025: Very nice and welcoming place with the fireplace that dominates the small dining room. In my opinion, a perfect style for an Osteria. The girl who served us was very, very kind and polite unlike the lady with glasses (I think she is the owner) who all seemed to us to be on our ass..... She was irritating from start to finish. We arrive at 8.05pm shortly afterwards we order drinks and take 2 bottles of wine. From there nothing... not even bread to plug a hole and accompany the drink. At 8.45pm we finally order the food and I ask for the Roman rolls specifying Gluten Free (we had said when we booked that there was a Celiac person) the lady panics for a moment because I said gluten free when the rolls were among the 4 on the menu dishes that didn't have a gluten label. Oh well... to reassure a celiac who goes there for the first time top in short.. We all order and the dishes arrive an hour and a quarter later, together with the bread, placing it next to me as if I could eat it. Oh well, laughter to lighten the mood. The rolls arrive, 4 in number, very small paid 18 Euros and seasonal vegetables (boiled broccoli with 3 tasteless Brussels sprouts 6 Euros) without bread and without anything to accompany. I made broccoli slipper 😅 (THEY SELL FROZEN SCHAR SANDWICHES IN SUPERMARKETS WHICH ARE EXCELLENT) if you want to provide a fair service for everyone. The other dishes were really not bad. Excellent Vaccinara queue Very good Pasta Carbonara Pasta and meatballs ditto Cheese and pepper 😑 no comment! Serve Cacio e pepe with cream to a Roman girl?!?!?!?! There's no need for me to say anything else. The lady however was coherent until the end because when we went to pay she also showed her annoyance because she wanted the bill to be paid to Romana according to her, the total divided by 6. But my friend Romana Doc pointed out to her ke alla Romana means that everyone pays for themselves. In short... I don't think we will go back again. But not for the bill or for the Cacio e pepe itself... but because whoever manages these places must be kind, smiling and available towards customers who would certainly return.

29/12/2024: We ate very well, generous portions, quality raw materials. Delicious gluten-free pasta! They are attentive to contamination, the staff is polite and courteous, it is one of those places where you know you will return.
