Osteria Il Pino - Catering — Restaurant in Cortona

Its a nice surrounding by disadvantage to be at the street, but this is not what counts most. Most counting is to feel not welcomed by the waitress. To see permanent frozen faces we go to the artic and not to Toscany.

The Menu has been put has a printed paper to the table, and we made out choice for 2 starters and 2 dishes.

Starts first: not available Second starter: not available First main course: not available as written in the menu Waitress: because the menu has changed.

We kept the complain inside of ourselfs not to take risks of this frozen face.

We ordered no starters, just 2 dishes to be feeded and quickly away but the gnochi dish has been a stupid decision as well because first, its should have been with asparagus cream, and we pointed out not to have bacon as the menu. Then frozen face came back and told us it will be zucchini instead of asparagus cream, and we said, yes, but anyway no bacon please, then she contacted us through the window, it will be no zucchini but pumpkin, we said its all fine as long there is no bacon with it, and at the real end of the story:

Gnochi with punpkin and bacon...

Just like in the eastern block comunist countries until 1989 it has been.

Goodbye...

We stumbled upon this osteria and had the best lunch ever. Don't be fooled by the exterior, walk around the back for garden seating. We tried speaking Italian, the lovely waitress spoke a few words of English. The three of us enjoyed antipasti, primi and secundi with wine, water, a beer and an espresso...

This is the best lunch spot in the area. Ate here with a group and got to try every pasta, and all were delicious, so you can’t go wrong ordering here. The antipasti mixed selection comes with fried chicken tenders. Seems weird at first until you realize they are absolutely banging...
