Osteria Al Bianchi

Great food and atmosphere. This is one of the oldest and most authentic restaurants in Brescia. Everything I tried was delicious. I really loved the beef in olive oil and their Casoncelli and other pasta dishes. One dish that really stood out was actually the Lumache (snails) appetizer on a bed of turnip puree sprinkled with shavings of egg yolk - try it and thank me later. Great wine selection, low prices and friendly service. Highly recommended.

They will ignore you if you speak English. We were sat in an empty dining room. They gave us menus and then proceeded to fill the entire room with other diners, take all of their orders, give them their food, and then finally stop ignoring attempts to get their attention to take our order. Don't go here if you aren't a local.

Very nice dishes and desserts recommended by staff . Very local typical food. The meat filled pasta is very delicious. The Sbrisolona cake is must try too. Come on Saturday morning to eat the fried cod fish from 11am to 1pm .

My first meal ever in Brescia and may they all be this lovely. Exactly why I come to Italy. I'll be back!

We decided to go to Brescia, the Server Avenger Paolo wanted to show your God where he was raised and saw someone having fun in a corner with everyone watching. We went to Osteria, the best place to eat, which it's completely true, The Avenger as you know doesn't have meat for quite some time, so he asked everything in the menu to kick things off, we could see his eyes shining, the same eyes that signed the divorced papers, but this time very happy. He commented that it's even fresher inside than outside and added "I guess I'm not the only one that can control the temperature" Even happier when he saw 4 people serving us, he said "people are really happy by having me here, I really make the difference in people's lives, enjoy the gift of Mendes" The last horse he had was his wife, and this time he tasted horse meat and loved it, he even imitated the horse sound while people in the room clapped and cheered for him - best meat ever he stated Desert time and of course again, give me all of them, he even got confused when people asked if he was sure, but also your Avenger controls his own metabolism, so why not! After we left he was as happy as a baby born and people made the hall of fame just for him, and even one kid gave him a Baggio shirt, he risked his name and asked The Impulsive to sign to t-shirt! Bless Mendes, bless the town, and that kid is going to be sane forever!! Abbiamo Pedro!

Good location! It has outdoor seating too if you prefer. The food was nice! We ordered entree to share and 1 main each for lunch. We had beef in oil and the donkey meat for main. Beef in oil was fantastic!

Awesome atmosphere. You can see lots of local drinking wine and eating fried fish stick on Saturday afternoon. Food is simple but fresh and delicious. It can be a little intimidating when you see a huge crowd but people from the place are all very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend!

Great Service, good Ambiente sitting outside on the back of an old church. Food delicious and they serve Augustiner - perfect 😙

Everyone we spoke to at our Hotel said this was the place to go! When we went in it seemed....well a little rustic compared to the other restaurants we had been recommended to visit. However, it was wonderful! In the front there is a sort of meat/deli/coffee counter...and in the back several rooms. You will need a reservation or be okay with waiting a bit. Everyone was there and the tables are shared. I would call the food very delicious and of the local regional favorites. I had some spinach/cheese/bread dumplings that looked like giant gnocchi that were out of this world. The prices were unbelievably low and the quality of food and service high-check it out if you are in Brescia!

This place is amazing! We went here with our cousins and had a full three/four course meal. It was the best food we had in our whole trip in Italy. Go here!
