I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Piacenza

07/10/2025: I only had an aperitif, and the cocktail was well-made. It came with a small caper tray with a few chips, some bitter chips, a few olives, and two small bowls of creamy sauce—good. But without a slice of bread, a crouton, where would it go? I had to eat it like that.... The service is good and precise, and the staff is polite. The interior is small but cute and well-kept. Outside, you have the square and the Duomo in front of you, very beautiful. I think that for the price of the cocktail (certainly in line with other places), a few more chips wouldn't have hurt, although, to be fair, we asked for them and they arrived without a problem!

23/09/2025: With two Franciacortas, I deserved a crisp to nibble on. Maybe next time.... Nice place in the center of Piacenza.

06/10/2025: I'll start by saying that the quality of the cold cuts is beyond question, even the torta fritta was very good, because the ingredients were truly good. The bill was out of the ordinary: two torta fritta, two first courses, and a bottle of Coke, €70 for two. Eight obviously industrial ravioli, more than a euro per ravioli, practically, lasagna made the day before, but still good. No one criticizes the €35 per person, but you keep the prices reasonable for what you offer. I understand the rustic location, I understand the tradition, but you can't have prices like a restaurant in the city center. I sat for 20 minutes with the wind in my back because the front door was open (it was 13 degrees), the kitchen door that leads to the dining room was open, and I had to take my clothes to the dry cleaners because they were infested with fried food. €5 for two tablespoons of giardiniera in a small container... Come on... A bottle of Coke for €6, we're way off the mark... It's €4 everywhere else, €5 in a luxury restaurant, and non-vintage Coke. €4 for two, in the cold, surrounded by the smell, I wouldn't even have asked. €3 for two coffees, a fair price, but if I'm referring to the place, no. We didn't order dessert because we repeatedly saw a waiter push the slice of cake onto the plate with his fingers because it wouldn't come off the server. Maybe he'd just cleared a table earlier, so don't do that in the middle of the room. Never again, I'm sorry because the fried cake and the cold cuts were really good.

28/09/2025: Located in Castelvetro, in the province of Piacenza. The frogs are delicious.

05/10/2025: Excellent trattoria. The atmosphere maintains the typical Piacenza trattoria feel. Welcoming, tidy, and clean. Excellent service, with very friendly and attentive staff. The dishes are high-quality and delicious. The mixed cured meats appetizer with torta fritta was truly delicious and plentiful. I also had pisarei e faso, which were divinely prepared. A taste of the fried river fish, including eel, catfish, and frog, was excellent. We shared a portion for two for the first and second courses, as the portions were very generous. I'd say the price was very reasonable for what we tasted. Highly recommended.

30/09/2025: The fried gnocco was incredibly good, light, and accompanied by high-quality cured meats. Everything was excellent... I'll be back!

07/10/2025: A typical Piacenza trattoria just 10 minutes from the city center. Modern, but certainly not cold. Impeccable service and very traditional dishes. A very comprehensive wine list with local options at reasonable prices. Dishes are very traditional, yet very good. Among the best Piacenza tortelli you'll find anywhere. Prices are reasonable for what you get.

06/10/2025: Welcoming place. Polite and helpful staff, even for a chat.

07/09/2025: It's always nice...nice atmosphere

19/07/2025: Personale giovane e gentile, atmosfera accogliente e tranquillo. Lo consiglierei sicuramente. E ovviamente cibo eccellente con presentazione accattivante.

13/10/2025: The kitchen is masterfully managed by a very promising chef. Worth following.

12/10/2025: I took my dad, a true Neapolitan, to try a true Piacenza lunch... and we were both thrilled! Everything was truly delicious: from the traditional cured meats to the fantastic tortelli con la coda, from the mushroom flan with cream of mushrooms and fried cardoncello mushrooms to the cheeses accompanied by an excellent mustard. The wine selection was also good. Friendly service and a welcoming atmosphere: a place where you can feel the passion for local cuisine. I'll definitely be back to take my mom!

12/09/2025: Excellent value for money. Finally, a restaurant that doesn't sell smoke and mirrors. Piacenza cuisine as it should be, with quality ingredients and delicious desserts.

06/09/2025: Very nice establishment (it looks recently renovated). Clean bathrooms. Attentive and friendly service. The portions, however, are HUGE; that's the only flaw, I'd say. Overall, a very good restaurant; we'd definitely return.

13/10/2025: Welcoming atmosphere, excellent service, the owner is in my opinion a beautiful woman, open to conversation, smiling and transmitting the passion for her work, like the risottos, even experimental ones, of the super chef

25/09/2025: Great food and very friendly staff

24/08/2025: We had a truly positive experience, and will be back soon for lunch or dinner at this Agriturismo. The warm welcome and the exceptional quality of the food make Corniolo one of the best places in the province.

04/08/2025: One of those places I thought no longer existed, a peaceful and pleasant atmosphere. Federico, a superb chef, has managed to blend Piacenza flavors with Greek specialties. His very kind and friendly mother and father make you feel welcome, like an old friend returning home. The food is delicious; for starters, in addition to the delicious cold cuts, there were: carne salada, baked feta, plums with almonds and pancetta, and stuffed tomatoes. For the first course, the mousaka was fabulous; the pisarei e faso were very different from the classic recipe but delicious, and the tortelli were excellent. We didn't quite get to the second course; after the first course, we had the homemade berry panna cotta, which was excellent. Give it a try, it's truly worth it; we hope to return soon.

11/10/2025: Welcoming atmosphere, suitable for couples, families, or groups of friends. Good value for money. The starters weren't very generous. The cold cuts were good.

07/09/2025: We stopped after seeing a royal who spoke highly of it. We didn't book for two people. As soon as we entered, the waiter, already very agitated, rudely told us there was no room. Then he almost immediately changed his mind and found us a table. We sat down, the first thing I noticed were dirty glasses and smelly napkins. The place itself is old and quaint, but the smell of the place was that old one that lingers in your nose. Despite that, we ate quite well. I didn't like the coffee.

02/09/2025: Stopped by with friends. Tagliolini with mushrooms and a sliced ​​steak, really tasty. Prices reasonable. Friendly staff. Spacious and clean. I recommend it.

20/07/2025: I went there for lunch today with my wife, everything was very good, from the cured meats to the first courses, the bulk wine was also good, the price was right...

09/09/2025: We discovered this place by chance and it was a wonderful surprise. Excellent food, very friendly staff, informal and intimate atmosphere. We'll definitely be back.

14/06/2025: At a tasting there was a delay in starting of at least 2 hours. This is not tolerable. Terrible management of the situation.

02/10/2025: Hands down, the best delicatessen in Piacenza. It's rare to meet a true professional who pours all their love and knowledge into what they do, yet remains humble. Anyone who enters Il Salumaio Valla can see the owner's passion: we found ourselves spellbound listening to his stories about the curing process of the cured meats, while tasting them accompanied by a special wine (also produced by him), halfway between still and sparkling, sweet just like the wine itself. Personally, I would walk the entire length of Via Roma every day, even though it's no longer the best area of ​​the city, just to return to that little shop brimming with history, studded with price lists as they once were. It's a leap into the past but also a step into the future, thanks to the gourmet selection it offers. I can't wait to return, even if it's just to try the famous gourmet chocolate with pancetta, or to experience the banquet they host on the first Sunday of the month, with everything freshly prepared. A place that will stay in your heart and honors Piacenza's traditions. Highly recommended!

30/09/2025: As I passed the window, my attention was drawn to the bread and some pumpkin tarts, as well as the humorous captions describing the delicacies so tastefully displayed. Inside, I enjoyed a pleasant conversation with the jovial Mr. Ettore, a son of a professional, who enthusiastically described and praised his artisanal products. In addition to the fig foie gras, which he makes himself, I also purchased the coppa, the true star of the counter. It seems homemade using the traditional method of dry-salting and drying over a wood fire. Naturally, I also purchased the two pumpkin products. I was able to appreciate the truly authentic flavor of products purchased only at home. The foie gras was supplied in a refrigerated bag. Delicious when chilled, it was appreciated for its originality. Bravo!

24/09/2025: I really enjoyed the deep-dish pizza and the courtesy of the waiters. Perhaps the only downside was the wait time, but we were a large group, and that's understandable.

20/09/2025: Terrible! We were fired because they couldn't make two takeout pizzas! The reason? Our room was full. There were 10 tables and 20 people...

09/09/2025: A truly positive experience. I contacted the lady on the phone and she was very willing to make me a birthday cake, which wasn't easy, but she trusted me, and it was a success! So, thank you again and I'm happy to sponsor her...see you next time!

23/04/2025: My dad decided to make my birthday cake here, and it was truly beautiful... and most importantly, delicious! It was a simple mille-feuille with Chantilly cream, chocolate chips, and whipped cream, and it was truly, truly delicious. We'd never been to your place before, but we'll definitely be back, especially since he told me the lady there was so kind and helpful. Thank you!
