Piacenza [pjaˈtʃɛntsa] listen (help·info) (Emilian-Romagnol: Piasëinsa, Latin: Placentia) is a city and comune in the Emilia-Romagna region of northern Italy. It is the capital of the province of Piacenza. Modern forms of the name descend from Latin Placentia. The etymology is long-standing, tracing an origin from the Latin verb placēre, "to please." In French, and occasionally in English, it is called Plaisance. The name means a "pleasant abode", or as James Boswell reported some of the etymologists of his time to have translated it, "comely". This was a name "of good omen."

Although it looked closed from the outside, this restaurant turned out to be an excellent tripadvisor recommendation. We were about the only people dining, and so the atmosphere was limited, but the setting - ini a pretty courtyard - compensated for this. The food was interesting acorss the menu: a lively array of antipasti, and some imaginative twists on the standard primi. The pasta stuffed with ham was delicious, and my sife said the same of her gnocchi. The wine list is extensive - lots of local wines, with a sensible price range - and we were able to get a very good bottle of Gutturnio for about 10 euros or so.

Awesome restaurant located in the very city center. It offers tasty and original veggie dishes, gorgeous local wines and delicious pastry. The restaurant is furnished with excellent modern taste, the service is careful and quick, the prices are on average (15-20 euro main course+dessert+wine). In addition to the restaurant, there is a shop which sells handmade jewellery, clothes and design products. Definetely recommended!

I have been here before and was very impressed for the innovative approach to the cuisine and ingredienst. I have been again for dinner on a very hot summer evening and tried the excellent culatello and pork shoulder from Massimo Spigaroli, the top producer of this cured meat. The portion was not generous, but after all these ingredients are expensive. I was then attracted by a slowly braised veal cheek, advertised 'with potatoes' and something else. The meat was succulent, very tender and excellent, but the 'potatoes' were reduced to a kind of whitish broth, not particularly tasty either. No other vegetable was visible. And this is, in my view a mistake. In fact when I asked for some vegetables I was told that the asparagus had passed its sell-by date and therefore had been condemned. Fair enough, but there are still plenty of good vegetables on the market, and a good restaurant should provide a good selection.The dessert was good, and the choice of wines reasonable (but more can be done in this department). To sum up, I was more impressed the first time, and one of my guests also enjoyed an aubergine flan very much, but I am a little concern that this pleace which has very good potential may be slackening.

We enjoyed our Sunday lunch here. The restaurant is located on the main road leaving the city. Youâll need a car to get here. Thereâs plenty of street parking in front. The restaurant was already crowded with Italians when we arrived just past noon. We didnât notice any other tourists except for us. Service was excellent from an English-speaking server. We ordered spaghetti vongole which was very tasty. It came al dente as expected. Our other dish was homemade pasta stuffed with spinach and ricotta in a pomodoro sauce. It too was excellent. The bread was chewy and the red house wine was very good. It's a modern restaurant with an upscale feel to it but the prices are very reasonable. After eating here, we're not surprised it was so busy. We can highly recommend eating here.

Driving round looking for somewhere to eat on a Sunday night in Italy isn't always that easy. About to give up we stumbled upon this place and what a find it proved to be. English football on the many TVs, English, and other non-Italian, beers, great pizze and burgers and fantastic rock memorabilia, again mostly British, all over the walls - what more could you want. The place was empty at first but soon filled up with hungry families in to watch the Juve match. A great atmosphere and the next time this will be our first port of call.
