Osteria al Duca
Osteria Al Duca
A historic tavern next to Romeo's House, featuring a highly cost-effective two-course set menu, with horse meat stew and donkey ragout bigoli as local classics.
Located in the former stables of the Montecchi (Montague) family home, right next to Romeo's House and about a 2-minute walk from Piazza dei Signori, this is one of the oldest osterias in the city. Spread over two floors with tightly packed tables, it offers a rustic atmosphere popular with both locals and tourists. The classic way to dine is the fixed-price two-course set menu, costing about 25-30 EUR for a pasta dish and a main course, with options like pastissada (horse meat stew) served with polenta, and bigoli with donkey ragout. The restaurant only accepts telephone reservations and fills up quickly in the evening, so it is recommended to call ahead or book your dinner in person during lunch.
