Piadineria L'Aquilone — Restaurant in Urbino

Genial hosts, divine piadina!

We spent two and half days in Urbino, and we paid our highest possible compliment to the joint by eating all our meals, except breakfasts and gelato, there. Yes, lunch and dinner, every day.

The key is their special Piada, properly called La Crescia Sfogliata, the unleavened flatbread wrapping. It is made from scratch in-house, by the Mamma of the owner no less, every day, out of eggs, milk, oil and flour, which managed to be, miraculously both, flaky and sturdy---sturdy enough to contain all the goodies you can mix and match for yourself.

The variety of the fillings is of course why we could eat four meals there without any repetition. For protein I always start with Porchetta, and add their cheese and cream sauce, and then each time choose a different combination from their plain or breaded and baked vegetables. Breaded eggplants and breaded tomatoes are especially recommended, so are the fresh corns for textures and pop.

All these were cooked to order and served hot in a nice and neat wrap, ready within five minutes. And the prices, never exceeding six euro per person even with a shared drink, even with all our customization, is simply unbeatable!

And then there are the husband and wife owners. The hostess is outgoing and gregarious and the husband is more reserved, but they are both warm and friendly. By our second visit they are already treating us as old customers from the neighborhood.

This is by far the most consistent and best cheap-eat in our months of travels throughout Italy. Only a Salumeria in Syracuse came close.

Try it, and try it again, you won't be...

'Nostro figlio si he fatto male (si he schiacciatto il ditto tra due parte separate si metallo) con una seddia rota che abbevano fuori. Cuando gli abbiamo spieggato cosa era successoa non ci hanno aiutato ne sono statti bravi. Doppo che gli abbiamo chiesto se abbevano del ghiaccio dove potesse luii mettere il ditto con l'unghia ferita ci hanno risposto che non abbevano ne giacio, ne niente altro per guarire la ferita. In vece sappiamo che sono obliggati ad avere qualcosa del genere. Non ci hanno offerto me niente altro freddo, me nessuna compensacione gentile. Llavorano da soli, in due, demtro e bisogna aspettare tanto. Sono statti niente gentili"

Nuestro hijo se ha lastimado el dedo com una de las sillas de fuera del local, que estaba rota (se ha engamchado el dedo: una uña agrietada y una herida interna, con sensacion intensa de quemazón). Al parecer, había una soldadura rota en una parte de la silla, de una anterior reparación. Cuando les hemos contado lo sucedido nos han respondido con certa actitud defensiva hasta darse cuenta que no teníamos ninguna intención de quejarnos , sinó de avisarles para que nadie mas se lastimara y pedirles algo de ayuda para aliviarle el dolor (un vaso con hielo o similar). Nos han contestado que no tenían hielo, tampoco ningún botiquín farmacéutico. Nada! Sim ofeecernos ninguna alternativa (una botella fría, por ejemplo). Luego, en oto local, nos han confirmado que estan obligados a tener botiquín por ley).

Que que tampoco se han preocupado por ver exactamente que le había ocurrido en el dedo. Ningun gesto de ayuda o compensación por las molèsties, de su parte.

Son una pareja, Trabajan dentro el local, no sirven fuera. No hay WC. Había una llarguíssima cola. Hemos tenidor que esperar mucho para pedir.

La comida buena, econòmico también, pero el sevicio y trato...

Best place in Urbino to get a sandwich or a "piadina " ( or a crescia , a local traditional piadina ). This is not fast food !!! This is home-made like stuff .Ingredients of quality and the staff is a lovely couple that is very polite and professional! I have eaten there hundreds of times and was always satisfied ! Good prices , definitely worth grabbing a bite there while making a tour at Urbino. Highly...
