Osteria Paganelli Gianfranco - 2

The best cured meats from Piacenza, then from Italy ... So from the world ... Family run, very nice and enthusiastic about what it can offer, it's worth going a little way, maybe even walking along the Via of the Abbots ...

GORGEOUS! Delicious food, excellent company, fantastic family capable of enhancing the territory and entice people to go to the mountains! Infinite variety of cold cuts, cheeses, wines ... there is something for everyone! All homegrown and very good ... you go there to be in company to eat well and to spend a nice day not for a quick lunch of half an hour. Super promoted to the next one!

Highly recommended tavern ... The difference is felt when the products are genuine and local ... Starting from excellent cured meats from the first to the last to traditional first and second courses and of excellent quality since they are all prepared from scratch by them .. . If you intend to eat GOOD and A LOT while relaxing and eating calmly this is the place for you ... Everyone who was at the table with me said they will definitely come back to bring other people so there is not much else to say ?

5 stars are few ... fantastic tavern with excellent quality food with exaggerated quantities and with excellent red and white wine especially the sweet one. The staff is very kind and sociable.

What about Gianfranco ?! A gorgeous place in all. Gianfranco and his family, the tavern with the radiolona under the window, homemade food and mostly super 0 KM, wine of any color, hospitality and even the bill! The love and care in the preparation of each dish, in addition to being tasted, is also perceived by the meticulous descriptions of the history-preparation of the products served, and by the rigorous attention to suggestions for the best combination with wine. Not to mention the cold cuts sliced ​​at the table and the polenta divided into portions and served at the table while still hot. Or, again, for the lucky ones and when available, a trip to the salami cellar. It goes without saying that this complete journey to discover good food lasts about 5 hours and goes through: - endless appetizer of cold cuts from the cellar and also aged, accompanied by fried dumplings and homemade bread - trio of typical and non-typical first courses, with the spatial Trevisana risotto and sausage, stuffed pisarei or cannelloni, anolini in broth ... - 4 different second courses per person, tartare of your choice according to taste preference, roast beef with salad (to wash away), suckling pig with sweet and sour onions and carrots, finally polenta and stew - selection of cheeses (even in the summer of 2018 there were 110) and sauces / honey, again of all kinds, to combine with the chosen cheeses - trio of cakes including a fantastic sbrodolona and a portion of tiramisu per head - Wine, of all kinds, and water to no end (if you love sweet red wines like me, but really sweet, ask for the wine in a sweet ceramic jug, the best fruity and sweet I have ever tasted until now , even the Muscat for desserts is very good .. and sweet!) - Coffee of the mocha - Various bitters In short, it is a real 360-degree culinary experience .. and perhaps a little surprising the idea of ​​finding it so genuine, beautiful without too many preambles, in a very small mountain town. You will not regret it.

I honestly don't think I've ever eaten so much and well. The whole lunch was accompanied by the cheerful company of the innkeeper Gianfranco and his son, who told us the secrets of each course, rigorously self-produced. If you go there you have to take the time to savor each delicacy, without haste. A place of years gone by now ... go there as long as you can!

Each word is not enough to describe the quality, genuineness and tradition of this place. Mr. Gianfranco is the innkeeper par excellence who with passion and love explains the work and the time behind each course that you have the honor to taste. A unique place, as unfortunately there are fewer and fewer. A unique experience to recommend to all lovers of good food and traditions. UNESCO heritage!!
