Osteria Vecchia Piazza In Vignola

03/09/2024: We thank the young and kind owner, originally from Sardinia with her husband, for guiding us in choosing the dishes (the menu is both Sardinian and Romagna). The fregola with fresh local porcini mushrooms and truffle was exceptional, the delicate culorgiones with bottarga and delicious fried sweet ravioli filled with cheese with honey and lemon. Highly recommended for the quality and price. Have a good continuation :)

22/08/2024: LUNCH AUGUST 2024 Let me start by saying that we had lunch at the restaurant during the August holiday, so the comments are limited to the fixed menu, the quality of the food and the service. We booked on The Fork for 12, but upon arrival we were told that the opening is at 12.30: not bad, we enjoyed a glass of prosecco in the meantime. A mix-up with the app can happen! We arrive at lunch time. Starter: the basket with parmesan is good and the bresaola ravioli with ricotta are original. From a shared menu there should have been two starters, but the dish was unique. Not bad. Pair of first courses: blueberry tagliatelle with lobster and classic ravioli with ricotta. The tagliatelle are decent and the ravioli are good. As pointed out when settling the bill, we were very disappointed by the portions of the first courses. Taglioni: we had a portion for 3 which seemed to be 1, smaller for us as there were 3 of us compared to the next table, where they had a portion twice as large as there were two of us. The ravioli were 2 and 1/3 each (total 7 for 3 people), when they should have been 3 each (still a few, but surely if we had known we would have pointed this out beforehand). The pork with gorgonzola sauce and caramelized pears was delicious: nothing to add, exquisite! Finger licking! Overall, the lunch was pleasant thanks to the wine and the company, but we would have preferred a little less rigidity in our comment on the first courses, given that it was made after the bill and not before, as often happens, due to possible discounts. We would certainly have offered a second chance in that case, but I fear that this first experience will also be the last.
