Started off with a great glass of Tomassi Amarone that was accompanied with a small salami and mortadella sandwich.

But ask a local person where to find Naneti's, and they will know, for this is Treviso's most famous Osteria. Here local delicacies abound on the shelves and counter. You can savour local wines along with the traditional local cicheti snacks, featuring bologna ham, fresh country sausage and ossocollo and selections of cold cuts and cheeses served on wooden cutting boards. Beppe and Fabio, the joint owners, immediately make everyone feel at home. They'll hand you morsels to taste and try if you're not sure what you want. The decor is hard to describe. No-one seems to know how old is Naneti's, but it houses some weird and wonderful food- and wine-related implements, a collection of ancient bottles, and the walls are pinned with newspaper cuttings and notices dating back to the 19th Century. The wines are arranged within reach around the walls. Just pick one and hand it over the counter to be opened. There's no seating - everyone just stands and talks - and the crowds overflow into the alleyway outside. You cannot fail to make friends here - I met Max, my closest Italian pal, here over a glass or two of Cabernet Franc. Customers drop in after work to buy produce and wine that will be their evening supper. They usually linger for a chat with friends. Go there!

You can order wine or beer by the glass and they also have a very extensive selection of bottles, too. Their food offerings are all small plates/finger foods/antipasti items. Lovely seating outside and a few tables inside. On our first visit to Vineria Parilon, I had a couple glasses of delicious prosecco (for just €3 per glass!!) and my hubby had a session IPA from Crak, a local brewery near Padova. It's hard to find really great beer in Italy, so this was a happy discovery! We shared a meat and cheese board, which was tasty. Would like to go back for some of their spunciotti.
