I wasn't fucking around so GF and I schlepped the 20+ minute walk over to this place from the city's center. It's small and unassuming which is part of its charm. We arrived literally in the nick of time because there were a few tables left, one of which we were able to snag immediately after placing our order. As we were finishing up, the place had become a bustling mad house and there was already a queue waiting for our table. I LOVE the fact that this place offers vegetarian and vegan options of which GF and I took full advantage. I ordered one of their vegan offerings with zucchini, eggplant, cherry tomatoes, and hummus. This was super hearty and I loved how full of veggies it was but they were a little heavy on the olive oil which is probably standard fare for Italians. For me, it was too much. GF ordered a vegetarian piada with mushrooms, zucchini, and cheese. She says it "was amazing" and that she "really enjoyed it". They have a million other variations depending on your preferences and prices are super reasonable.

I'm a bit disappointed by this place, i had very high expectations based on the stellar reviews. As…read moresoon as I got in I saw a mountain of pre-sliced cured meats, amassed on the preparation counter in open air, which was not a good sign to me. Service was pretty quick, maybe due to the pre-sliced meats actually, but the prosciutto crudo in both the piadina we got was tough, and not soft to the bite as it should be. It was very difficult to eat, because you got a big chunk of prosciutto at every bite due to its toughness. The piadina were filled generously and looked great. So many good things about this place, but finally my eating experience was sub optimal. I don't think I'll be back.

The Osteria dei Poeti is a pleasure to look at and a pleasure to eat at. We were walking towards…read moreBrera and got captivated by the Liberty style and the vibrant colors (red walls anyone??). Not sure what's the reference to the poets in the name, but one theme is clear: you're going to feel like you're in Emilia, savoring very regional dishes, the way a grandma would cook them. The piadina starter is a must, so much so that you might end up ordering it even when the menu states something else. Apparently whatever you see on the starters page comes with the piadina, which you might or might not have in mind to order, but surely won't regret. It's fantastic, and the wild boar salame you can accompany it with is just an excuse to get more. "Oh, it comes with more piadina? Oh well." My biggest thumb-up is the generous use of "formaggio di fossa", which I had on a "cartoccio" of sausages and other veggies. It's so good that you have to pretend you know what it is and just go for it. In case you don't, Wiki says that "the cheese typically matures around 30 days before being placed in the "fossa", a pit dug into the ground and lined with straw". I could definitely taste that... Other tables ordered an equally appealing cotoletta, my sense is that you'll be in good shape whatever you order, having the foresight to leave some room for the hom-made desserts on display. The service was friendly, but I wouldn't say it was faster than the average Italian restaurants. Ok, pretty slow. But the place was full (always a good sign) and we were still treated like kings. Surprisingly enough we could even pay with an Amex, while the vibe is really that of a cash-only place. Yet another reason to go back.

We got the last table outside in front of the restaurant - inside, it was a full house. Adorable place and friendly - if a bit harried - service. Well, I was right - this was one of the top two versions of amatriciana pasta we have ever had! And my carbonara was textbook perfect, too. We had ordered a veal Milanese, as well, but then the heavens opened up. Thankfully, we were full, as we had to abandon our plates and huddle under the awning with everyone else! They quickly filled up with rain. We cancelled the veal with plans to return. Marvelous!

Everything was really delicious, with top quality ingredients, and prepared with care. The Carbonara was surprisingly delicious, with a creamy texture and crunchy guanciale.

Anyway the food was amazing, so we were happy. Recommended!
