GUIDE TO CERTIFIED RESTAURANTS TRADITIONAL CUISINE OF PIACENZA

With this edition we have gone beyond all expectations: we certified 86
among restaurants, trattorias, osterias and, as in previous editions, we

Restaurants Traditional Cuisine of Piacenza” we demanded the possession
of a menu and a wine list, a prevalent presence of traditional dishes of

good reception and kindness to the guests.
