Osteria Bertoliana — Restaurant in Vicenza

My husband and I ate at the lovely Osteria Bertoliana yesterday on our 42nd wedding anniversary. I read many good reviews and was excited to enjoy their cuisine. We absolutely loved our meal. The menu changes daily. The hostess brings you the menu handwritten on a board. We started with the Buccaneve cheese with honey and pear. Amazing combo of flavors! Then we both enjoyed maccheroncini con ragu di cinghiale (pasta with wild boar). After thoroughly enjoying our pasta, we split a frittata con asiago e cipolloto (cheese and onions). They presented the meal on two separate plates, with two individually made frittatas and a side salad. Wonderful! We leave Padua in four days and I told my husband that I wouldn’t mind going back to Osteria Bertoliana instead of traveling to another city. The hostess/waitress was a very diligent worker. We wouldn’t hesitate coming back here. We didn’t realize there was a back courtyard, it would’ve been nice to sit back there, so make sure you ask when...

Off the main road but still within the downtown core, Osteria Bertoliana feels like a hidden gem within Vicenza. I visited two nights in a row with my girlfriend without a reservation and both nights the host was able to accommodate us.

The food is superb, probably the best I’ve ever had in Italy. There’s only one man in the kitchen and two hosts serving customers and yet the food is incredible and the speed it takes to prepare and serve those dishes matches the quality of the taste.

Our host served us handmade cheese the first night and hand made salami the second. He was incredibly kind and helpful with selecting wines and explaining the dishes.

Honestly, get in here before the influencers expose it to everyone else. It’s a must...
