Osteria Vecchia Lodi In Lodi

The restaurant was very good, but the waitress was incredibly rude. We arrived and she didn't let us sit because she was very busy, but that was fine. Then she didn't come to take our order for another 15/20 minutes, and then she came and said, "Pasta with sauce, pasta with vegetables, or rice with sausage," very quickly and even in a huff. The risotto arrived immediately, and it wasn't even a ladle, three forkfuls and it was gone. Instead, the "pasta with vegetables" was orecchiette, and she came and asked, "Is orecchiette okay?" To which my colleague asked, "I don't know," and she asked, "Orecchiette with vegetables," to which he replied, "Yes." And nothing, all this, always with rudeness. Then I looked at the other tables for a moment, and she was very kind and clearly said that the "pasta with sauce" was spaghetti, while the "pasta with vegetables" was orecchiette. But besides that, the portions at the other tables were much larger, since I had three forkfuls, the others had full plates, and we didn't even have bread until the main course, where I had to... I asked and he snorted at me again. All of this changed when I assume the owner arrived. Anyway, the main course at the other tables looked delicious, mouth-watering, but coincidentally, the steak at our table was burnt. And on top of that, the water they gave us was a completely different brand than the one at all the other tables. I don't understand why there was such unequal treatment, especially since it was our first time and we were just passing through. Anyway, I'm giving them 4 stars because I don't want to ruin the rating, but to send a message to that nasty waitress.

Very beautiful place, surrounded by greenery with horses and donkey, good food, welcoming place, recommended!!

Excellent location, parking available, you can also eat outside, excellent pastry shop cakes, especially the one made by the mother of the very kind and courteous lady who served us.

Great cosy place with great food

A good lunch at a very reasonable fixed price. The place is simple but pleasant. The owner is very kind.

Positive experience on a foggy day in Lodi

Feel right at home, from the traditional dishes to the friendly service. Thank you.
