We went here on a rainy day in October. Nice roaring fire and friendly service. The pasta melts in your mouth, it is so fresh! Great little spot.

3 course lunch + homemade wine + espresso for 10 euro on a beautiful location.
Mangiato bene con buon servizio. Santa Maria di Bobbio è un bel paesino sopra Bobbio un po' distante da Piacenza , circa un oretta e poco più. La qualità del cibo è alta e le porzioni sono abbondanti. I proprietari sono stati gentili e disponibili . C'è posto sia all'aperto che al chiuso e quindi c'è buona scelta. Primi buoni e anche i secondi che abbiamo preso ci sono piaciuti ma secondo me il tagliere di formaggi meritava su tutto. Se non fosse così lontano ci tornerei più spesso
Ci siamo trovati benissimo, un po affollato quindi il servizio indaffarato ma nonostante questo molto carini. Cibo 10! Ottimo gnocco fritto e ottimi i pisarei .
Cibo ottimo, ingredienti di qualità. Atmosfera familiare e rilassante. Simpatia e cortesia. Consigliatissimo
