Instant confirmation or on request: what actually changes
On the same page, two restaurants can behave in two different ways. The difference isn’t cosmetic: it’s whether the table is yours or not.

Where the listings come from, and why they’re sometimes wrong
No restaurateur asked to be here. That’s why the catalogue is broad, and it’s also why it goes stale.

«All verified»: what it means, and what it doesn’t
Here a review is tied to a meal that took place. It is an inconvenient rule — it shuts a lot of people out — and everything that «all verified» can promise lives inside it.

Eating in Piacenza
Piacenza looks towards Lombardy and eats like Emilia, with three protected cured meats and a pasta shaped with the fingers.
The three DOPs
Coppa Piacentina, Pancetta Piacentina and Salame Piacentino: this is the only Italian province with three DOP cured meats, and they are ordered together on the board.
The pasta
- Pisarei e fasò — little breadcrumb dumplings with borlotti beans, the city's dish;
- Anolini in brodo, filled with braised beef;
- Tortelli con la coda, plaited shut, with ricotta and spinach.
Eaten in the hand
Chisulén (fried dough) and bortellina go with the cured meats. In the glass, Gutturnio from the Colli Piacentini, red and often sparkling, with Ortrugo among the whites.
Opening hours and closing days change. The ones on the listings come from public sources and may be out of date. Where a restaurant confirms tables with us, the availability you see is the real one.
