The best restaurants Piacenza

Roberto, in the kitchen, and his wife Carla, in the dining room, welcome you to this restaurant which combines the modern design of its interior with the ancient setting of a 16th century palace. The cuisine is essentially local and seasonal, attached to the beautiful products of its soil, close to the small farmers and producers of the region. It also wants to be inventive with a real aesthetic concern in the plate. The result is a beautiful balance of flavours, a cuisine that is both elegant and tasty. Very rich wine list, with many organic and natural wines.

Since 1907 this trattoria has been an institution in Piacenza. We come here for its typical, peasant, copious, simple and just delicious cuisine, but also for its incredible atmosphere, authentic and welcoming. A real old-fashioned trattoria, with its panelled walls adorned with black and white photos and its noisy and cheerful atmosphere. On the menu: cold cuts with gnocco fritto, tortelli with ricotta cheese and spinach, cooked and raw horse meat and homemade desserts. It's invigorating, it's good, and it's good value for money.

La Piadineria is a fast food chain with more than 200 stores in Italy and some European cities. His speciality are the piadine, these thin patties of wheat flour that can be garnished with an infinite number of ingredients. The Piadineria of Piacenza is located near the cathedral, ideal for a quick snack between visits. Paste and products always fresh. Wide menu with many interesting combinations of cold meats, cheeses, grilled vegetables, fish, herbs and condiments.

In an elegant white room with dark wooden tables arranged around a large central column, you can enjoy plates garnished with all the best specialities of the region: stuffed pasta, simmered or baked meats, cold meats and home-made pies. Charming and professional welcome. The room is not huge (reservation recommended), but the tables are quite far apart, which guarantees a quiet and rather intimate atmosphere. Very nice location, terrace in summer, high quality kitchen.

Magnificent agriturismo on the banks of the Po river and very close to the A21 motorway (exit Caorso). The covered terrace, facing the river and bordered by trees, forms the bucolic and peaceful setting of the restaurant. We come to forget that the Po has made the industrial fortune of northern Italy! After an antipasto of gnocco fritto and local delicatessen, try the "Po flavoured" pasta or dishes of freshly caught river fish. Family atmosphere. The agriturismo also has ten rooms, simple but well equipped.

In a XVIIth century palace, a friendly wine library, anxious to guarantee its customers quality products. The place is perfect for a snack based on local cold cuts and cheeses, accompanied by bread baked over a wood fire and a good bottle of regional wine. If culatello di Zibello and cured ham are to die for, set sail for Spain with a portion of Pata Negra: a delight! Beautiful selection of raw milk cheeses. Also some pasta, meat and fish dishes. Sale of regional products.
