Fodor's Expert Review Osteria Vecchi Sapori

Simple but savory fare and a menu that varies weekly characterize this osteria run by two brothers, Paolo and Roberto. Specialties include truffle tagliolini, and stuffed pasta, such as Gorgonzola-filled ravioli with walnut sauce, or pear and parmigiano tortelli with a saffron butter sauce. The extensive, meat-rich second-course dishes are paired with creamy polenta taragna (made with cornmeal and buckwheat flour) or hand-cut fried potatoes. The dessert menu changes daily, with in-house cakes, sorbetto, and tiramisù reflecting traditional tastes and seasonal availability.
