The osteria

Thirty-four covers, one gutter and no hurry.

At the end of the alley, where the copper gutter has always made its noise, there is a room under a brick vault and a kitchen that works like a home. Pasta is rolled in the morning, the oxtail sauce simmers from the afternoon, and the menu follows the market and the seasons.

“People come here to eat, and stay to talk.”

Velia, in cucina (personaggio di fantasia)

The house dish

Oxtail vaccinara, cooked for six hours.

The recipe of the old slaughterhouse district, made the old way: oxtail, plenty of celery, tomato, a pinch of cocoa and cinnamon. Eat it with your hands and mop up with bread.
