Osteria La Trappola

I came to Piacenza as a tourist. My husband and I chose this place for dinner, and it was the best choice we've ever made. Besides the wonderful, homely service from the waitresses, we also tried some truly amazing dishes. I ordered "anolini in brodo" as a first course, and it was simple and delicious. For the second course, I had "lingua," and the meat simply melted in my mouth. What was surprising was the large selection of desserts (it's a shame we couldn't try them all). We'll definitely come back if we're in this city again! Grazie La Trappola !

i was recommended this place from a friend, and it did not disappoint. i came for lunch on a quiet thursday, and the atmosphere was nothing short of charming, it was like stepping into a cozy countryside home, complete with a fireplace and thoughtful decor. the service was impeccable, the server was not only warm and welcoming but also brought us some incredible bread and lard to start. we began with a selection of cold cuts, all top quality, which paired beautifully with the warm, fluffy focaccia. choosing a first course was nearly impossible because everything sounded fantastic, but i finally settled on the tagliatelle with gorgonzola and radicchio. it was so tasty, the pasta cooked just right and the sauce irresistibly creamy and flavorful. my grandpa went for the pisarei e fasò and was thoroughly impressed. he then ordered the liver with onions (which, of course, i had to steal a few bites of) tender, rich, and packed with flavor. i wasn’t hungry enough for a second so i just got some peperonata, also very good and saucy. dessert was just as impressive. everything tasted incredibly fresh, but the zabaione was the best thing. silky, indulgent, and exactly the kind of sweet ending you want to a meal like this. to recap: fantastic food, a homey vibe, and service that makes you feel like family. highly recommend!

Such a wonderful place. People are very warm and welcoming with tourists and locals alike. The menu IS ALL interesting. Donkey, horse, liver. Just wow They also have the choice to serve wine in traditional cups that are like soup bowls (they informed us about that) amazing experience. The interior is very nice but try to get a place at the small outdoor part. Highly recommend. I think it is a true representation of the famous cooking of Piacenza! My favorite plate was liver with onions and apple SO tender !!!

Food is decent but nothing exciting. Portions are small. Always disappointing to see these "tavern-like" places that give you extremely large plates with just some food in it. Cherry on top, the owner was very thoughtful on charging us about 15€ more than the corret price only because of one of us being a foreigner and us being clearly just passing by the city. Needless to say, very unlikely to visit a second time, even if I'll ever find myself in Piacenza again. Consider other places.

Outstanding homemade food in a congenial environment. Friendly owners and helpful with their suggestions about daily specials. If you are seeking good value for your money and a tourist-free environment with excellent food, this is the place for lunch or for dinner in Piacenza.
