TheForkUserBeautiful dining spot and very good service. Slightly on the expensive side for Italy, but it's reasonable given the view.
TheForkUserA wonderful visit to a family-run osteria. Amazing food and service, with terrific consideration for the diners. Highly recommend and we will definitely be going back!
TheForkUserGenuine and traditional cuisine, all made with love and flavor. Excellent quantity of courses and helpfulness of the staff. Definitely to return.
TheForkUserWe went for the ten-course Sicilian tasting menu with paired wines. The food was outstanding: each dish beautifully prepared and presented, well balanced in terms of quantity, and cooked to perfection. The seared swordfish steak, for example, was so tender that it almost melted in the mouth. The wine was rather disappointing. There were five very small glasses (more like tasting measures) of wine to go with nine courses. The first two wines went quite well with the dishes they were supposed to accompany. The red wine was supposed to last us for two courses but didn’t, with the result that we had no wine at all to go with the meat course. Service was good but with a couple of shortcomings: a food allergy that had been mentioned when we made the reservation and when we ordered was not initially taken into account, and the snacks that were supposed to accompany our aperitif arrived after we had finished our aperitif. All in all this place has great potential but needs a bit of polish in the front of house.
TheForkUserMichelin star quality for a fraction of the cost that you would pay in any other country. Seasonal and local ingredients are combined in innovative and perfectly executed dishes. I live between London and LA, and have been to many great restaurants, but il Piastrino is the one I always return to: a hidden gem in a beautiful part of Italy untouched by tourism. Worth making the trip for the food, the view of the rolling hills from the garden and a stroll in the gorgeous medieval villages Pennabilli and San Leo
