Our history

Osteria Resega has its roots in an old grotto, a place where people used to gather to enjoy good food in a simple and welcoming atmosphere. In 1952, this grotto officially became the restaurant we know today. Since then, for over 70 years, we have served generations of customers, keeping alive our passion for traditional cuisine.

From the very beginning, we have been dedicated to offering three types of cuisine, each with its own identity and a particular focus on quality

• meat: we prepare selected cuts using simple, traditional methods to enhance their authentic flavor;

• Fish: every day we choose the freshest catch for our dishes, bringing the genuine flavors of the sea to the table.

• pizza: our pizza, cooked in a wood-fired oven, is made with carefully leavened dough and selected ingredients, for an experience that combines tradition and taste.
