Ristorante Agriturismo Il Castagno In Borgo priolo

04/05/2026: We had lunch at Locanda Merlino this weekend and were truly impressed. Despite the short notice, we were greeted with great hospitality and served with extreme kindness. The homemade pasta was excellent. A must-try! Thanks again for everything, we'll be back!

20/04/2026: I've been frequenting Locanda Merlino for a few years now with a large group of friends. After visiting a winery in the Oltrepò Pavese, it's a great place to refuel with local cuisine. I had lunch with a very extensive menu that included several appetizers, cured meats, fried gnocco, cheeses, crostini, and Russian salad; two first courses: bigoli with white ragù and Pisarei e fasò (a typical Piacenza dish); two second courses: pork tenderloin with fig and potato sauce and roast beef with extra virgin olive oil; a dessert of your choice from the options, coffee, amaro, and the inn's own wine. Personally, I really enjoyed the first courses... phenomenal. The value for money is excellent, to say the least. The restaurant has a few parking spaces on site, but you can also leave your car in a parking lot belonging to a company just a minute's walk away. You can dine both inside and on the outdoor porch, and it's worth it, especially during the summer months.
