An excellent osteria with very good dishes, friendly and helpful staff, and average prices.
The cured meats appetizer and homemade giardiniera were excellent, and the lardo was delicious, melting in your mouth.
The two first courses: casoncelli in butter and sage, delicious, and the tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms, equally delicious.
Special mention goes to the owner, who delighted us with second helpings.

Management of La Grotta has moved to Il Frate: well done!
They've brought their excellent cuisine and attentive, helpful service to Via Musei.
The dishes are always perfect: authentic, traditional, and unpretentious.
A true osteria where quality and kindness are the order of the day!

If you're looking to bring some "outsiders" to enjoy the excellent traditional cuisine of Brescia, you've come to the right place! This is the third time I've been there or sent friends or family there, and they always make me feel great!

Charming service and quite distinctive decor. Plus, while I waited for my main course, they brought me a small appetizer.

Nothing like the osteria of many years ago; now it's a restaurant like many others in the city center. The atmosphere is retro, the wall decorations are cute, and the inexpensive food at the entrance is nice, but it lacks atmosphere.
The traditional dishes are good (especially the ossobuco) and the elephant ear braciola, and the casoncelli are decent, but the slow and inattentive service, along with the rather steep bill, discourages returning.

I tasted one of the best cuts of beef. The price is slightly above average, but the quality makes up for it. A legendary place, a must-visit for anyone who appreciates authentic Brescian cuisine.
