L ' Osteria Da Pietro is located in the center of Castiglione Stiviere . Awards and accolades from various guides, is the destination for lovers of fine cuisine, revisited with passion and wisdom. The atmosphere is really beautiful, you are in a historic building and the restaurant is divided into two small rooms with beautiful vaulted ceilings.
La mise en place is accurate, the tables are well spaced and the atmosphere is intimate.
There are proposed inviting welcome snack: sausage rolls wrapped in a thin, little cubes of polenta with bacon and croutons to the bowl with milk. The wine list is very extensive and the choice it is difficult but the maitre d ', very friendly and professional, comes to our rescue has a great Burgundy.
Welcome House is a soft cream with a sausage cloud mashed potatoes. There are also two bowls of course a very full-bodied and aromatic oil. The cream is thick and hearty and goes well with the sweetness of the potato.
As a starter I chose the snails sauteed with artichokes: delicate and pleasing, creating an interesting contrast in texture with crisp artichokes.
My husband ordered the pigeon ravioli topped with foie gras and their sauce, not bad, although they needed two more minutes of cooking. The foie gras is delicious and also the stuffed pigeon is balanced flavors. Too bad the sauce is too salty and almost completely cover the taste of agnolotti.
A moment of rest and a chat and here comes the second.
Lamb chops with Marsala wine sauce on potato cake: the meat is soft and pink inside and outside has a delicious golden crust flavored with ginger, which gives freshness to the dish.
Red partridge with truffle mashed potatoes, tender and tasty meat, maybe a bit 'too dry and the truffle and cream potatoes round the dish without weighing it down.
Let's skip the cake but we are still offering pastries: cocottine of delicious cream and eggnog, the biscuits dry and, given the time and chatter Carnival tasty and light.
