Bib Gourmand 1

Da Andrea

Bib Gourmand€€Italian

A true taste of Italy awaits you in this large brick townhouse in the Olsztyn Old Town. Its owner is from Valdobbiadene, the home of prosecco, so starting your meal with a glass of the famous sparkling wine is a must. Sit either on the veranda overlooking the river or in the cosier upstairs dining room, then choose from a menu of authentic Italian dishes that keep the focus on the natural flavours of the best local produce, such as super-fresh trout. The seasonal pasta selection is a real highlight, as is the fabulous tiramisu for dessert.
