Locanda del Falco

Food here was excellent! Service was really nice though a bit slow since they're always so crowded -- but staff are very kind and all so friendly. What we had: 1. Snails with celeriac and anchovy mayonnaise--my favorite dish here. The anchovy mayonnaise was unbeatable, and the snails were also pretty good. Little crisped breadcrumbs on the top added the perfect complement of crunch to the mayo foam and snails. This came recommended by our server. 2. Cacio e pepe risotto -- very nice! Came with a beef jus I believe that broke through the richness of the cacio e pepe. A special rendition that I think is signature to Locanda del Falco 3. Ravioli with curry sauce -- this was different, I kind of liked it! First bite I thought it was a bit strange, but it grew on me and I cleaned up all the sauce with my bread, heh. 4. We had steak with caramelized onions and mustard seeds, with a side of artichokes. The artichokes were grilled/charred really nicely. I was just a bit tired of artichokes but I think they are otherwise a nice complement. I can't remember what the dessert was called but it was something chocolatey. I also appreciated that they had these transparent little barricades between each table to make sure there was social distancing I suppose? It didn't affect the experience in my opinion since they were just plastic and transparent, but it made me feel a lot more comfortable during this period and the amount of time we were spending dining indoors. Nice thought! Anyway, just make sure you have nothing much planned in the afternoon because I think this turned out to be a 3 hour dining experience! They're very very busy. However, you're probably in Piacenza to chill anyway, so just enjoy!

Veramente spettacolare! What a great find. This restaurant is not just a meal but an experience. I was at the locanda on a work event and everything was perfect: The food is just too good, the service was beyond excellent: they went the extra mile to explain every dish, every wine...the pride they took in the food presented and the products of their land was actually very touching. The venue is beautiful as well! I really can't wait to go back. Thanks for everything Sabrina, Pietro, Marco (sei pericoloso!😂) and the rest of the staff for an unforgettable night.
