Osteria Civico 20 - GARGNANO

We dined in as the evenings are getting colder. The room is very small and undistinguished. The waitress seemed pulled in too many directions at once, so service was slow. She asked us to order wine before giving us the wine list; I wondered if she was trying to sell us something expensive without us realising ? Food was good, but not exceptional, and priced quite high. A disappointment

We found this restaurant thanks to other contributions in TripAdvisor. We spent a very nice lunch.. Food was fresh, home made, and really tasty.

What a location!! Underneath a stone arch opening out into a small village piazza and harbour with ducks and a swan too. Parking is right outside on the street . The osteria has outside covered seating but as it was a cool evening we chose to sit inside. There were around eight tables and all the covid safety measures had been put into place without being obvious or intrusive. The menu was available in Italian and German so we did our best to translate. Fortunately the waitress was on hand and able to answer our questions. There was a good selection of local dishes supported by an excellent specials board. We chose the mixed meat grill and grilled prawns with mixed salad and potatoes. Our drinks were served promptly with excellent wholemeal bread, good quality balsamic and olive oil. The salad was large and we'll presented and the potatoes roasted but not oily. I had six very large prawns perfectly cooked and very tasty. My husband's meat dish had chicken pork and lamb individually cooked so full of flavour. We completely cleared our plates the food was excellent, the service unobtrusive and friendly and we left completely satisfied .
