Antica Trattoria Pelliccia - PONTREMOLI

We have a house close by and have eaten here a lot. In my opinion, the best testaroli in Pontremoli (its a local pasta with ancient roots). The sauce is a great pesto and the testaroli is perfectly prepared. the tagliatelle in butter with truffles is a reliably great choice. and the tagliata al sale is perfectly prepared and delicious.

A rather odd meal in an otherwise empty restaurant and we suspect we now know why! Ordered acchiughe starter expecting local equivalent of fried whitebait, but what arrived were the salted tinned version, nicely displayed with oil, chopped parsley and a little roasted pepper garnish, served with small toasts and butter curls but at 13 Euros each we felt cheated! My main course of the local testaroli I had expected would be made with chestnut flour but I couldn’t taste it, and they were ‘pleasant’ but nothing special. My partner had an unusual main course based on cheeses he was expecting hot and sizzling ones, a small goat cheese was, but the other four were just small slices of various local cheeses served with tiny condiment pots, one of chestnut honey (good with the goat cheese) one of a very ordinary pear compôte and one a simple chutney, nothing else and hardly a filling, or even balanced meal! With one coffee and a bottle of local Prosecco the bill came to a hefty (for this area) E73.00 we won’t return in a hurry!

Great food like you should always have in Italy. Fantastic Agnello di Zeri great fried rane . Baccala al forno with cherry tomatoes n olives 'n herbs In any case worth the trip according to me. The owner nice and courteous and to the point. A must if you are in the area

Passing the entrance and climbing the stairs you arrive to small colored rooms really nice and cozy, almost intimate. excellent service and good local food. Big Goose Breast and Ciulatta! Try

Typical trattoria, kindness, goodness of food and availability we could bring our Maremma!
