In the fine location of Barga Vecchia, an outstanding place especially in summer, where you can enjoy the testimony of the Medici’s Barga, L’Osteria is located, one of the most popular restaurants in Barga, owned by Riccardo Negri.
L’Osteria is a youthful venue who is appreciated mostly by young people, but for its fresh atmosphere also attracts over–40 and especially foreign tourists.
It is a special place, in short, to live the “slow pleasure” of Barga, impeccably greeted by the courtesy of Riccardo, who is now in his sixth season at the helm of the venue.
Wine shop, tavern, bar, a place for snacks and for something to drink, maybe on the outside terrace on Angelio Square, observing the comings and goings of the people or the unfolding of one of the many events that take place in Barga.
In this place you feel at home, because you find good company, because you meet many people, but mostly because you eat well.
The menu by Anna, the queen of the kitchen, offers a variety of dishes where ingredients are locally sourced.
It is the kitchen of Barga, the one that you might find in any local home, and this is important because in Barga you always eat well.
The wine bar of L’Osteria is really well stocked, then you can accompany your meals especially with wines of Lucca, but also with a wide choice of wines.
Take advice from Riccardo and you will realize that you will be fine. The premise is housed within the ancient pharmacy of the old castle, and inside you can see a permanent exhibition of one of the most intense interpreters of Barga’s art: Alba Calamari.
During the summer time, special evenings are organized, full of music and joy, but every night the right one to spend a few pleasant hours in the tables of this tavern.
